    How is Chambers on that list?

    Compare Chambers fight vs Wlad to Hayes fight vs Wlad....

    Why would you do something dumb like that? Also theres no way Helenius and Chambers are better than Povetkin right now.

    I agree that Adamek is a better fighter than Chambers, but this is a HW ranking. Chambers has beaten Sam Peter and Alex Dimitrenko, and has proven he can go 12 rounds with Wlad. Adamek has done nothing like that.

    Povetkin has a couple of good wins (including one over Chambers), but he has fought tomato cans recently, and refused to fight Wlad. Chambers accepted that challenge. That means something.

    Thompson is ranked n.6, but his performance against Wlad was not as good as Chambers', so I agree with boxrec.

    Until Adamek loses to K2 he will not only be ranked higher than Chambers by boxrec but also by all the sanctioning bodies.

    Not sure who'd be fifth, but it would not be Chambers.......possibly Povetkin, but he's been inactive for a while.

    Arreola, certianly not. Too many losses recently. And Helenious, possibly just below Povetkin.

    Let us not forget that Povetkin, hate him as we seem to do, has a win over Chambers, and its still undefeated.

    Many on ESB would say the following:

    1. Wlad
    2. David, after having: [A] been so fast demonstrated a granite-like chin [C] marking up WK more than WK marked him up and [D] overcoming the toe, the ring walk, venue security, the doctors and the judges to produce what should have been a 112-114 near win at worst)
    3. Vitali
    4. Adamek
    5. Helenius

    This ranking controversy can only be settled by a rematch that the global public want and all of England demand.

    The Klitschko brothers have made their point. No one in this crap division can touch them. Vitali should retire after clocking an overmatch Adamek (who reality is should have stayed to dominate the cruisers, because he doesn't pop like he did there). Wlad should seek out a bigger man (Helenius probably), and win (most likely) or lose retire too. People blame them for ruining the division? They should show the world what it would be like without them.
