    Give it to one of the Klitschkos, who were in their primes during this decade and ruled for much longer.

    No disrespect to Lennox, who is one of the greatest HWs to ever grace the ring, but the 2000's weren't his decade.
    Who has a better record than that?

    Wlad's resume is crap.
    Wlad beat up both Botha and Rahman, Tyson was shot, and Tua nor Grant ever won a title, plus he has wins over Byrd, Peter, Brock, Ibragimov, Chagaev, and Chambers

    so who honestly did more from 2000 onward?
    Was there any point in naming that lot? Even a "shot" Tyson pisses all over them.

    You forgot to mention Lewis beat Vitali.

    So that's a prime Rahman, compared to the old sumo Wlad beat, Botha, who Lewis beat far more impressively, an unbeaten prime Grant, a prime still deadly Tua, a Tyson that hadn't lost for five years and a prime hungry Vitali.

    Now, alongside Wlad's bunch of D-level wins, he was also destroyed by Corrie 'golfer' Sanders and humiliated against Lamon Brewster.

    Quality over quantity. Lewis wins easy. Fact.

    You're wasting your talents here, man. You should be a big-time promoter for the way you can spin things.

    I actually LOL'd at the "a tyson who hadn't lost in five years" part

    The underrating and underappreciating of the Klitschko's by today's fans should be considered criminal.

    You can give the fighter of the decade to the guy who dominated nearly the full decade, or you can give it to the great fighter who was in the twilight of his career, lost to a guy who he shouldn't have lost to in a million years, and finally realized he was way passed his prime and it was time to retire 3 years into the decade.

    Yes he beat Vitali, but a cut victory over a guy who came in on 2 weeks notice is hardly something to base a "HW of the decade award on".

    Its like saying Joe Louis was the HW of the 50's.

    I don't think Wlad is being underrated, it's just a very weak era, and unfortunately he is the only alternative to Lewis.

    Gotta agree with you here Fenster Lewis is way ahead of the rest at HW. Gotta say RJJ should be LHW too but that might be my biased. Certainly not Tarver though.
