    I'd have:
    Wlad
    Vitali
    Valuev
    Povetkin
    Chambers
    Chagaev
    Gomez
    Haye
    Boytsov
    Arreola

    Peter and Ruiz one decent win away.

    I guess I was looking at Haye in a more of a P4P sense - meaning I was carrying his accomplishments from Cruiser to Heavy.

    Champ: Sergei Dzinziruk

    1. Vernon Forrest
    2. Daniel Santos
    3. Cory Spinks
    4. Paul Williams
    5. Sergio Martinez
    6. James Kirkland
    7. Lukas Konecny
    8. Verno Phillips
    9. Sechew Powell
    10. Kermit Cintron

    I don't believe you can rank people purely on how good they look. Williams is a good fighter and could easily reach the top but as of now he's beaten Verno Phillips who was the easiest beltholder. You wouldn't rank Khan #1 all of a sudden, same principle.

    Kirkland's going to jail- he won't be fighting any time soon.

    I think being Crusier champ and beating barrett doesn't get haye into the top 5 at heavyweight IMHO.

    For beating Verno Phillips? How do you justify that, or is it purely because he looked good?

    Dzinziruk beat Daniel Santos, a better fighter IMO. Not to mention he has further work at 154.

    I might **** off that boring **** Sechew Powell for Latimore actually. How the hell did Anthony Small make a list?! :lol: Come on lads, hide the bias.

    You would still have him behind Povetkin?

    As TFFP says, he only has one decent win at the weight. These are divisional, not P4P, rankings.

    Haye's definitely behing Povetkin. When making these rankings we must make sure we're neutral and not favouring British fighters.

    This is a difficult one as he's ****ed this up for us in not staying at 1 weight. He should be top, IMO. He's fighting Dzinziruk next apparently as well.:think

    ****ing hell, I thought it would be quiet at this time! :lol:

    So changes to be made:
    Haye down to bottom half of division
    Williams out of top spot

    I will make these changes first (the most major ones) then deal with the others.

    Solely at heavyweight I agree, I meant in a P4P sense.
