    The list is pretty much accurate.

    That really shouldn't be a problem, its like Teddy Atlas was saying.....its rediculous to see guys with incredible amateur backgrounds fight shitty competition for so long, they should move up a lot sooner

    The list looks fine to me, but Chambers shouldnt be on it imo, or at least shouldnt be rated higher than Chris Arreola.

    Toney should be ahead of Ruiz.

    Do they show their top-20 rankings somewhere?

    Chambers really helped himself with his win over Peter. I don't know why Ruiz is there too. Is he still with Don King? Because if so, that is probably the reason why, Don King.

    David Haye hasn't beaten enough HWs to be there. But, his fight against Wlad will prove to everyone, once and for all, if he deserves to be on this list, or to even be in the HWs.

    I have big hopes for Arreola. I know he struggled early against Travis Walker, but he still has heavy hands, and a pretty good chin. And those two things can take you places.

    Thompson for sure deserves a spot. Thompson is very tall, has the reach advantage, throws a lot of punches and doesn't tire, and he's a southpaw. I think people will soon realise how good and tough Tony "the tiger" Thompson really is.

    He looked bit unimpressive in his last match thought.

    I think the first 7 names should be on the list. I do think Arreola needs to prove more, and Ruiz does not deserve to be in the 10th spot either.

    I would put in Solis, Brewster, Peter, or Gomez in over Arreola and Ruiz.
