I think nikolay valuev is the most underrated champion. He will soon have the greatest record of all beating rocky Marciano's record and gets little recognition. (49-0marciano) I think bringing the Russian's into boxing will turnout to be the greatest thing to come to the sport since Marciano the greatest boxer of all times. White boxers return to take the sport back. This will sell tickets and get the younger generations interested in the sport again. Since political correctness you can't promote this great white hope like in the good old days.

People like peters because he is a hard hitter. Many people like his style, just like people like Tyson when he was not the best either.
As for the Russians, most are unproven.
Wlad is considered by most people the true champ, and he deserves that recognition.
Valuev and Maskaev still have not shown great skill. The have won but they are not exciting.
Sadly, Klitschko is the only good boxer in the division. He is a pretty good fighter, but lacks the personality to make the division interesting. Also, he did have a few suspect losses.
Face the facts, the heavyweight division is a mess. Klitschko, needs to unify the title and he will get the recognition he deserves.

I come here very often and one of the regulars on this forum and have not noticed this at all. I have noticed that not once have you answered any of my boxing questions though. Maybe you just don't really know anything about boxing history and want to try and turn everthing into a race issue. Is this reason why you don't seem to be well liked on this forum? For one thing the titleholders is plural and to me a true champion is a unified champion. Peter is a good promising fighter but I'm not a big fan of his really. I believe you just come on here to instigate trouble and I think that that is the bottom line behind your useless questions.

The heavyweights division is watered down and bland ever since Lennox Lewis retired. If these guys were more skilled and had more charisma this would be worth discussing.

We like Peter because it irritates the multiple avatar users.
happymrzot - explained it well in his answer.
