    It was more of a joke man...calm down.

    Still, you can put anyone you want in the top ten and both Klitschkos probably beat them all. Its just the state of the HW division.
    I'm not a biased Klitschkos fan.

    And where is you top ten Einstein?

    I was looking at everyones list...full of pudgy Russians, clubfighters, has beens, never was's and never going to be's. One list had Brian Minto at #13. I'm not disputing that Brian Minto is the 13th best Heavyweight in the world. But when a untalented, ill conditioned, skilless fighter is the 13th best in the world, it just goes to show how pathetic the division is . I have to wince when I see the genetically challenged Valuev plodding around, the puchless, unimaginative Chagaev and Igbragomov. The totally undistinctive Povetkin and Chambers, and the old recycles like Ruiz and Holyfield.Guys like Arreola don't even bother to get in shape, and Peter doesn't even bother to learn. It's pathetic.

    I would replace Rahman with Tony Thompson. Both fought Wlad, Rahman was just a punching bag, Thompson actually put up a fight and won a few rounds.

    I wonder why nobody's mentioned Kali Meehan yet. He'd be around #12 or so for me. His last few wins were pretty decent, and he had some bad luck in losing to Brewster a ways back. He's had even worse luck in not being able to enforce his mandatory, because I'm pretty confident he'd beat either or Valuev or Ruiz, and he'd probably knock out Haye as well.

    Almost every list you could make is somehow wrong. Only clear positions are #1 and #2.
