    I have been in the opposite corner for all 3 ....

    Povetkin hits you from strange angles and its effective and like we all know (The punches you dont see coming are those that knock you out) he didn't knock my guy out but did get him all at sea at times.. I give his power a 7 out of 10 if you let him land with space to work in combinations..

    Ibragimov is a little lesser but again , when you allow him the space to be effective he can make his shots flow in fabulous combinations.. those runs of punches that dropped Lance, and Mora were quite lethal, but anyone who can smother Sultans work can make him very ordinary.. My guy and Evander shut his best work down.. He is a slightly lesser 6 out of 10 just because he is easy to reach and hit... Austin dropped him and in our fight Friday put him down with very simple punches, no rocket science.. I love Ibragimov because he is getting better... But power , his best skills are his speed and work rate..

    Chagaev, He hits very hard and is extremely fit.. He is tough as hell and knows his own capabilities.. I give his one shot power a definite 8.5 . But he needs the opportunity to land, and at World level he needs tp prove it.

    8.5 out of 10 .. Very underrated.. His chin may prove a question.. In sparring he was dropped very heavily and didn't recover well, (with 18 ozres on) He is a great fighter and the finest man you wish to meet, but even as hands down edge here , his chin will be the first to be exposed.. Povetkin (best chin) Chagaev (best power.. But all in all the best all rounder Ibragimov is good at everything.. Not great just good and can beat anyone today on his best day.............

    IMO,

    Ibragimov - 5

    Chagaev - 6

    Povetkin - 6

    I don't know who Chagaev KTFO to get a '7' ranking, he's just a strong puncher like Povetkin. Ibragimov can't punch ****, but does damage in accumulation.

    I'd rate Peter as an 8. I'd rate Wlad the same.

    Foreman is the bench mark for 10 in raw power.

    I was probably too generous considering 7 is a bit high. Chagaev hasn't KO'd any top heavyweights and neither has Sultan, so I'd probably give them a 6 or 6.5 actually if I had a chance to rethink it. But Samuel Peter hasn't KO'd a top heavyweight either, although it seems clear that he has more raw power, heavier hands, and physical strength than AP, SI, or RC. For that, I'd give him a 7.5...

    Where would you rate Brewster, Virchis, and Briggs?

    Brewster - 7

    Virchis - 7

    Briggs - 8

    Raw power. A full Briggs connect is every bit as lethal as a full Wlad connect, however, we know who can get it there better.:yep

    Which makes it even more impressive that Lewis stood still with his hands at his waist and allowed Briggs to hit him with power shots in their fight.

    Further evidence of Lewis's underrated chin. :yep

    Wasn't this against your man Friday?

    What if the two of them got together in a real match up? I think that match would be a hell of a lot more fun than Skelton.
