Best five wins from the best contenders

Lamon Brewster

1----Wladimir Klitschko
2----Andrew Golota
3----Luan Krasniqi
4----Kali Meehan
5----Tommy Martin

Krasniqi was once the European champion. I suppose not a bad win. 4 & 5 are just fill in the blanks. Like a lot of contenders of the last 30 or so years, a big win or two, a really big first win in this case, and then a very rapid fall off.

 

Kransiqui wasn't crap. He was a decent boxer. Lennox Lewis held him in high regard, for example.

 

Are Brewster's top 5 winer better than any of the champions today? Probably.

 

Cooney had solid offensive skills. If he had better defense and footwork, he could have been something.

 

Satterfield vs Charles was a 2 round war! I could watch Bob all day. Highly entertaining.

 

I didn't refer to him as crap. I was talking about Lamon Brewster's body of work, wasn't I? But if we are trying to talk about the attributes of Luan Krasniqui as a top 5 contender in someone's record, I'd say my initial assessment of body of work was valid.

 

Krasniqui was pretty good fighter. I'd say he was on Axel Schulz level skill-wise, hit harder than Axel, but had much worse chin and heart

 

I think after the top three there are four major names in the mix--Oma, Holman, Summerlin, and Williams. Williams would probably make the top five list if going by the overall career, but he was still years from a ranking while the others were or had been and would soon be highly ranked at the time Satterfield fought them. I have no disputes with any list with any combination of these four men.

I chose Oma and Holman. Others Oma and Summerlin and Williams and Oma. If someone chose Williams and Holman or Williams and Summerlin or Holman and Summerlin, I think Satterfield still makes the final top ten with any of these combinations. He has seven strong names.

Satterfield has very good depth. I think he must have beaten over 20 men who were rated at one time or another. I went through the NBA ratings and these men were among the top five contenders at one time or another:

Heavyweights--Oma, Gomez, Baker, Williams, Valdes, Summerlin

Light-heavyweights--Smith, Barone, Johnson, Andrews

Middleweights--no top fiver, but Chuck Hunter was long rated and peaked at #6.

 

Would put Fulton and Jeannette over Firpo

Johnson below Langford and McVea?
