    I'd switch it to:

    01 Wladimir Klitschko
    02 Vitali Klitschko
    03 David Haye
    04 Ruslan Chagaev
    05 Tomasz Adamek
    06 Nicolay Valuev
    07 Eddie Chambers
    08 Alexander Povetkin
    09 Odlanier Solis
    10 Chris Arreola

    Except Valuev is "The" Champion but in this reality, this is fair.

    1. Wladimir
    2. Vitaly
    3. Haye
    4. Chagaev
    5. Adamek
    6. Povetkin
    7. Chambers
    8. Arreola
    9. Solis
    10.Boytsov

    I dont rank Valuev now, make a comeback fight first... Actually besides Haye, there are Solis, Boytsov, Adamek and Povetkin who the Klitschkos haven't faced yet. Those would be great match-ups.

    1.1Wlad Klit
    Obviously

    2. Vitaly Klit
    Obviously

    3. Ruslan Chageav
    Sorry, Haye does not jump in line for beating guys Chag beat when they were in better form

    4. Haye
    Number 3 not withstanding, wins agaisnt even faded Valuev and Ruiz are quality

    5. Adamek
    Fights frequently and agaisnt better punchers than Haye has beat. Undefeated at heavy

    6. Chambers
    will fight anyone and I am still impressed by the Peter and Dimentrenko wins


    7. SNV
    always liked the guy. Yeah, some of his wins could have been losses, but his losses are close too, so lets say I appreciate his awkward style. Terrible performance agaisnt Holy probably due to chronic injuries. Lets see how he recovers from his surgeries.

    8. Povetikin
    Always stuck up for the guy, but for the first time, I am rating him below Chambers. ****ing do something! He is obviously one of the best, but is talking about going back ot the amatuers rather than fight for a belt. Emotional frailty is a weakness the same as any other.

    9. Sam Peter
    By default. Beat 3 bums and a mid level guy in Aguilera to get another title shot, and was flat out rolled by Wladdy. His wins are not all that great to begin with. But he hangs in there and takes the big fights, and regardless of the reamatch, the more Wlad's star rises, the more legendary the first fight becomes. So it is what it is.

    10. Robert Helenius
    I think he has already done enough. Stopped former ABC titlist Lamon Brewster, as well as some other good competiton. Is undefeated, and taking on Attila Levin next. In my book, he has already surpassed the best of the rest.

    Honorable mentions:

    Tony Thompson
    Very underrated guy, but he has done nothing since being beat by Wlad, and that has been a long time.

    Dennis Boytsov
    Just not there yet. When his hand heals, he should step it up and get some bigger fights.

    Juan Carlos Gomez
    HOF at crusier with some damn good heavyweight wins, rebounded from the VITKLIT loss with a string of minor victories, but never got another good name and has stalled.

    Odlianier Solis

    The most complex guy to talk about. Olympic gold medalist with some of the best pure skills, will never live up to his potential because of his weight problem. Gets fatter every fight, and that is the bottom line. People are reading a lot into his win against Barret, who had been bested many times before and is no longer a good gauge. Mazakin fight sure looks fishy to me. Can't knock out crash test dummies like Julius Long. Those who think he is going to be someone are deluding themselves or have not watched heavyweight boxing long enough to know that eating himself out of contention is inevitable, since he is already 40-50 pounds overweight and this should be his hungriest in terms of training and hard work, and not in a food way. Probably will not beat Ray Austin, and will be knocked out in two by Vitaly ala Kirk Johnson.

    Kubrat Pulev
    All the skills, but just not quit there yet. Lets talk after this weekend's fight with Dominick Guinn.

    Alexander Dimenkrenko
    Finally fought, and got a good, though not great win to rebound from his disgraceful loss to Chambers. Used his jab more, which is half his problem, but can he do anything about his poor chin...
