In general your post is good, but Morrison beat Foreman handily, Ruddock and Williams and had a better resume than any current active HW besides Wlad. He doesn't belong on any list over-hyped under-acheivers.

And the jury is still out on Wilder. If he actually fights and beats Stiverne he easily jumps to the top of a sad lot of over-hyped and unproven HWs waiting for a pay day and beating from Wlad. Pulev looks pretty good, but he hasn't exactly burned a trail through the HW division ala Liston.

I don't even count fights Morrison won since he is an admitted steroid user. I wish the commissions would erase any wins and titles that cheaters won previously when they were caught. There are about 15-20 well known guys in that pathetic category.
