    Haye or Chambers, I'd like to see those two in the ring.

    Everyone knows its Povetkin by a mile. This poll is ridiculous.

    Brits, seriously, you are like a bunch of kids who want your way. You think that if you keep saying it, that magically it will be so.

    Sorry to bust your bubble, but the words "skill+elite+boxer+Haye+Chisora" cannot be used in a serious sentence when talking to anyone who knows **** about boxing.

    Anyway, back in reality, HW rankings are the simplest to do of any division.

    Based on skill level, it looks like this. Yes, the gaps are intentional to show a MAJOR difference in skill level and proven ability.

    @Slacker: If it is "Povetkin by a mile"... then surely by that logic Marco Huck is the #3 Heavyweight in recess, until he returns from Cruiser to beat his ass again in a rematch. Remember when Huck had Povetkin badly hurt, out on his feet with jelly legs, not once, but twice? Huck beat his chubby behind for 7 of 12 rounds, & stunned him more times than I can remember. Povetkin is good, but nothing special.

    I think Chambers beats Povetkin in a rematch TBH. Haye too.

    Winner of the Haye - Chisora fight me thinks.

    Haye ex WC went the distance with Vlad and Chisora went the distance with Vitali.

    The Triangle Theory doesn't work in Boxing because every fight is unique, styles make fights.

    Nice try though. :good
