    Or killer:D

    As i said, i think he deserves no 2 ranking behind Vitali, and quite clearly. I am not 100% convinced on him beating Wlad, but definitely is the one who deserves the chance, if Vitali doesnt get the chance.

    You guys are underrating Haye's wins. Valuev was WBA champion. He looked phenominal against Liakhovic a year earlier. There is no evidence Valuev aged from 2007 to 2009. Also Haye knocked out John Ruiz. No one has done that in 14 years! Pretty damm impressive. Haye is reigning WBA champion. That means something. he also has the best combination of speed, power, athleticism i have seen in years from the heavyweight division.

    Yeah, I suppose I agree.. Sosnowski shouldn't be fighting for a title.

    Yeah, but winning a highly controversial decision over a 46 year old Holyfield, then taking a year off?

    Why is Vitali still on your list? Is he still active or is he retired? He needs to do something like fight his brother.

    They should be forced to fight each other or surrender the belts.

    Just how often does an alphabet organisation name a different organisations champion as it's #1 contender?

    Alphabet organization do not make other title holders mandatories... Its never happened and never will.. In fact, they prefer to keep their holders separate, unless a hot ticket item like Tyson comes along, who everyone can make money off of.. Otherwise, its not worth losing your little fraction of power in the boxing world...... Its called politics, and these so called " sanctioning bodies" have been playing the game for decades now..

    And thats the other thing that eludes me , is the politics aspect of boxing .It has put a dent on my view of boxing.Well I guess if you are involved with anything that involves large amounts of money then politics will be hand in hand with it.

    No you're not an idiot.. You have common sense, and a good idea of what boxing SHOULD be all about - competing and making the best matches possible... But anytime sick amounts of money are involved it will corrupt and ruin anything...

    Not a big fan. He's an OK fighter but has nothing special at all, really. Not a big puncher, not really a slick boxer either.

    He was losing to Chambers before Eddie gassed, I don't think he's any better than the inshape Chambers that Wlad knocked out. Another decent win for Wlad, nothing more nothing less imo. His record makes him look a bit better than he actually is, I'd pick Adamek against him.
