    can you justify Adamek and Helenius over Haye? I just want to hear your reasoning.

    1. Wlad- Obvious Reasons
    2. Vitali- Obvious Reasons
    3. Haye- Most competitive bout Wlad has had since the first Sam Peter fight. Also former WBA champion.
    4. Helenius- Crushing stoppages of former(now faded) champions in Brewster, Peter, and Liakhovich.
    5. Thompson/Chambers winner- Both guys have fought Wlad and lost, but Thompson really had probably the best game plan to deal with Wlad to date and that is to put a lot of leather on him, he just didn't put anything behind those shots.

    Sure, Haye's HW resume consists of Bonin, Barrett, Valuev, Ruiz, Harrison and Wlad. Bonin is a journeyman, who would of beat Audley Harrison were it not for a dodgy ref. Ruiz and Barrett I considered to be well over the hill (you could argue that Barrett wasn't given his recent win over Tua, but he's the first guy who Tua's fought during his comeback who had anything approacing a pulse) Valuev was the weakest of the champions, and taylor made for Haye, considering his footspeed. Harrison was a joke fight where he conned most of the British public into beliving it was a contest.

    The Wlad fight, he just failed to deliver.

    Adamek started out at a lighter weight than Haye, and doesn't possess the same physical gifts, his win over Arreola was against a top ranked HW (I know he has weight issues) and during his championship fight, he went out on his shield giving a performance he could be proud of.

    Helenius, I don't rate too highly, I think his hype is over taking his talent, but his last win was impressive, and he continues to look for the right type of fight. I also factored in the fact that Haye is debating retirement and doesn't seem likely to take on anybody else mentioned on this list. (with the exception of Vitali, and that's only him chasing money)
    I can see an argument for rating Haye over Hellenius and wouldn't have an issue with anyone doing that

    Wlad
    Vitali
    Povetkin
    Gaye
    Helenius

    though the Thompson-Chambers winner will soon be the #3 (or at least #4) heavyweight.

    No one is a threat to the Klitschkos

    I can't believe what I'm seeing. Arreola, anyone? What has Haye done as a HW? He's practically been laughed out of the sport with that last performance.

    No question, the Mexican Eclipse gave Vitali 10 better rounds than Tomas.

    My list:
    Vitali
    Wlad
    Helenius
    Arreola
    Povetkin
