Who was the best American Heavyweight Champion 2000-2025?

- - As mentioned and for those special needy needing extra reminders, Tony Thompson gave Wlad most of his hardest fights and he did it overseas. Byrd a walk in the park.

Minor titles won by Tony-

Atat�rk Spor Salonu, Tekirdag	W-SD	12/12
ref: 115-114 115-113 112-116 (supervisor: )

Gloria Sports Arena, Gloria Hotels and Resorts, Antalya	W-RTD	8/12
3:00 ref: 76-76 79-73 78-75 (supervisor: ) Solis refused to come out of his corner.

The only minor title he won after the 2nd Wald defeat was when he beat Odlanier Sol�s three times. Thats it. Not better then Byrd at all. Not even better Ortiz.

Deontay Wilder is the best American heavyweight champ since 2000. He held the WBC belt for five years with 10 defenses and huge knockout power. Chris Byrd and Hasim Rahman had good moments but weren’t dominant.

Byrd has more legit wins in the Top 10 then Wilder and has beaten two hall of famers and won the heavyweight belt twice. Deontay has never beaten anyone in the Top 5 ever in his career.
