    Haye is technically retired but as he was included in the poll i went for him.

    It clearly isnt Povetkin.

    That's the old "fighter A beats fighter B and fighter B beats fighter C, then fighter A will beat fighter C" argument again!:patsch
    Adamek beat Cunningham, but Adamek wont beat Povetkin...

    hmm..

    Povetkin didnt look all that good against Huck... however...

    Helenius, who i want to say is #3, is coming off of a lackluster performance himself..

    Some of you guys will say Chisora.. But he's coming off of 3 CONSECUTIVE losses...

    Haye is retired and his last outing was a horrible one...

    Adamek was dominated..

    Huck gave a good account of himself in a LOSING effort

    Chambers atleast won his last fight, but too inactive...

    Thompson is on a ko streak somehow... he knocked out Chazz Witherspoon... Scored a ko in his title eliminator..

    with that said, im leaning towards Thompson or Helenius

    Actually Tyson Fury should be ranked higher than Thompson or Helenius

    Povetkin, Haye is retired as far as I am concerned.

    Huck put on a great performance but Povetkin was the clear winner for me.

    Chinsora was awsome against Helenius & Vitali but I do not see where he goes from here, most HWs lose their hunger after they have seen what the Klits have got.

    Adamek has heart but, again, after fighting a Klit where can he go?

    The rest are poor (Arreola, Chambers, Helenius, Thompson, Fury etc..)

    Why is Povetkin duckin Fury?

    He dont even have Teddy Atlas as his trainer any more.So Povetkin is ripe for the taking

    A better version of Adamek would beat this version of Povetkin. Adamek/Duva wanted the fight in 2011 and Povetkin ducked it. At this stage, Adamek would probably duck it, though I could see him facing Huck.

    I do think USS might want to re-evaluate his options. USS would maintain his height/reach advantage over many heavies (while also being big enough to be 215 easily ripped). With the way the Boxrec formulas work, just match USS up right for 2 heavy fights and he could be #3 on Boxrec, setting up a million dollar payday vrs. Wlad.

    Cunningham's chin could be an issue but the heavies he'd face pre-Wlad would lack YPH's speed and counterpunching skills.

    Povetkin and it's not even close. Povetkin probably would have beaten the one armed Vitali that Chisora failed so miserably to dispatch.

    Marco Huck beat Povetkin in my book, so he's my #3 unofficially.

    Haye is ****ing retired. Lets stop talking about that scumbag. He said he only wants a Klitschko and he wont get that so he's done. **** him.

    It's Chisora. He beat Helenius and fought well against Vitali.
