    Once again, this isn’t a definitive list, I will have missed fighters so don’t go showing off to the internet how smart you are by adding your own! Haha.

    Let’s keep it on topic. Here is the list in no order, how do you rank them.

    Henry Akinwande
    Sultan Ibragimov
    Lamon Brewster
    Herbie hide
    Tommy Morrison
    Joesph parker
    Corrie sanders
    Ray mercer

    Best to worst and why

    best to worst:

    Mercer
    Parker
    Ibragimov
    Morrison
    Sanders
    Brewster
    Hyde
    Akinwande

    harsh on Hyde, who was a very good boxer, potentially a top cruiserweight, but his heavyweight CV was very odd, at his peak mostly horrible losses vs A listers mixed with wins against C-D listers.

    Just and only just stays out this thread

    I'd put Morrison over Ibragimov. Morrison would have at least gone down swinging against Klitschko. Otherwise I pretty much agree with the list.

    You forget Damiani ! First WBO HW champ. One of the better ones too .Behind Mercer but top four beats Morrison and probably Hide.

    Tier 1: Iggy/Parker
    Tier 2: Mercer/Sanders
    Tier 3: Akinwande, Brewster, and the glass cannons.

    Fair point
    Could be now though
    The wbo is a low laying belt especially if you dont travel to defend it
