    Haye doesn`t really deserve the third spot as he looked like a fool on Saturday. Its not clear whether he could beat Adamek, Chambers, Povetkin and a few others, especially with his low punch output. That spot should at least be open for now.

    Helenius was just used as Hayes sparring partner!


    Good for the kid he needs all the expenence he can get, like young Holms who was Ali's sparing partner.

    Not all sparing partners are garbage... You rent the best you can.

    close calls: Arreola, Helenius, Thompson.. and at this point the rest don't matter until someone actually attempt to make noise and beat all the contenders before stepping up to a Klit... Will that happen?? ... that is the question...

    My Top 5:

    1) Vlad
    2) Vitali
    3) Povetkin
    4) Chambers
    5) Chagaev

    All of these guys have, at one time or another, beaten Top 10 opponents. I favor that over any young undefeated prospects who haven't beaten anyone of note.

    Looks like the number 9 man on boxrec Chisora will leap frog Haye the number 7 if he beats Fury in a few weeks.:rofl

    Why the hell is Chisora so high on that? He's on the fringe of the top 50 at best.

    MY THOUGHTS:
    1. Wladimir Klitschko
    2. Vitali Klitschko
    3. Tomasz Adamek
    4. David Haye
    5. Alexander Poetkin
    6. Robert Helenus
    7. Tony Thompson
    8. Eddie Chambers
    9. Derick Chisora
    10. Chris Arreola


    Just my opinion. Not 100% correct but I don't think that Haye should be so low

    Helenius has big wins vs ex-names and a true still contender.
    He is undefeated.
    He is paper ranked close enough....but in reality is rated too high.

    He is now top ten....IMO bottom top ten.
