    David Haye is top ten worthy according to some. Oh dear.

    Hes near the top 10 for sure. His lack of big heavyweight fights goes against him, rather than lack of talent.

    You must be a blinkered septic :lol:

    The Haymaker is a top 10 All Time Great, so it's quite ignorant questioning whether he belongs in the top 10 HWs of the past decade :-(

    Almost feel sorry the punk-ass, no-talent Klits. Only delusional morons can't see that Wlad is guaranteed to be obliterated within a few pathetic rounds, that is if he isn't brutally KO'd in the first. Then Vitali will be next and Haye will only further cement his legend! :happy

    From afar, yes.

    Like from space.

    What's interesting about many of these lists (don't count 2010 or later) is that 3-4 of the boxers on most of them were equally good or BETTER versions of themselves in the 90s. Lennox, Briggs, Sanders, Ruiz, Tua, arguably Byrd's peak was late 90s/early 2000s.

    It's unlikely to be Vitali unless he fights beyond 2013. If Haye is true to his word and retires this year, it's also unlikely to be him unless he really does beat both Klits.

    1. Lewis
    2. Wlad
    3. Vitali
    4. Byrd
    5. Brewster
    6. Chagaev
    7. Rahman
    8. Toney
    9. Chambers
    10. Valuev or Povetkin

    It's curious to read that Wlad Klitschko has beaten five of the boxers in this list. Then you have Povetkin, who ducked him.

    Ruiz doesn't deserve to be in the list. Golota also doesn't, because of the controversial decisions. Tua didn't have many notable wins in the last decade, and RJJ only had one win.

    Vitali is probably already in the Top20.

    Ibragimov deserves to be ahead of Rahman on down and Maskaev belongs ahead of Toney and down. I suppose you could make a case for Rahman due to his KO over Lennox but aside from that both trump him especially considering Maskaev with 2 h2h KO's. Same goes for Brewster and his win over Vova, other than that all he has is an old Golota and Krasniqi

    Well, Ruiz beat Golota, Holyfield, Rahman, Oquendo, and Kirk Johnson. I definitely would have to rank him over Rahman.
