    Fury is the # 1 ranked HW. Ruiz is #3 and his time as unified champ may not last longer than 6 months.

    Failure. Sam Peters was ranked #2 in the world in 2007. Thats as close as you get to being the #1. This Derrik Chisora level guy spent two years rated in the top 3 during 06 and 07
    Derrick Chisora isn't good enough to enter the top 10 in this era.

    Heeeeeeellll No it wasn't.

    Several of the guys who Tyson beat were still in the mix 5-10 years later in the 90s(considered a golden age) when they were far past shot.

    Frank Bruno, gave lennox Lewis hell and ended up winning a title.

    Larry Holmes schooled ray mercer and was a contender for another 7 years after Tyson beat him.

    Tucker went on a 3 year coke binge.came back with no legs and still have Lewis trouble 5 years after losing to Tyson.

    Tony tubbs arguably got robbed against Bowe.
    Tyrell Biggs gave Bowe hell and had him hurt badly years after getting the prime beat out of him by Tyson.

    Pinklon Thomas was NEVER knocked down again despite fighting almost every rising contender in the 90s when he was shot and addicted to heroin.

    Carl Williams gave a 1983 Larry holmes all he could handle.

    Well that doesn’t bode well for the 90’s either.

    Throughout history this has been the case.

    His knee touched the canvas, some refs might have given it as a kd. Closest Vitali ever came to a count.

    You can't matter of factly say the Povetkin is better than Tucker, Pinklon Thomas, Bonecrusher Smith, Bruno, Spinks even a 38 yo Holmes. He wouldn't be a big favorite with either. If he were to be a favorite at all.

    He fell due to a punch and he struggled badly both before and after. His record at first glance looks clean, but then you examine it.

    For me the record is clean...if the ref had even counted him for just 1 second it would have been a knock down.
