My top 10 Heavyweights in the World

Champ: Wladimir Klitschko

1. Vitali Klitschko
2. Tomasz Adamek
3. Robert Helenius
4. Alexander Povetkin
5. David Haye
6. Chris Arreola
7. Tyson Fury
8. Jean Marc Mormeck
9. Tony Thompson
10. Eddie Chambers


I think Adamek's win over Arreola is better than anything on Helenius' record. Povetkin also has a better record than Helenius, but he looked not so good in his last match against Chagaev. So, considering H2H, I rank Helenius above Povetkin.

Haye could also be above Povetkin. However, he's coming from a loss so I prefer to rank him a step below.

 

Larry Holmes isn't one of the greatest HW champions in history either, I guess, according to you? :rofl

 

Wlad's arguably a Top10 heavyweight of all time.

 

well he's the highest ranked HW and 4 of the 5 organisations recognise him as champ.

On top of this he's viewed by an overwhelming majority as the premiere HW.

You tell me how many HW's in history have been the higest ranked 5 years running?

 

Golota v Byrd

1: 10-9 golota in complete control already dominating behind the jab.
2: 9-10 excellent boxing by byrd in this round, parrying, slipping, blocking, timing, countering, superb stuff.
3: 9-10 close round, byrd starts getting cocky against the ropes and takes some shots, but for the most part he makes golota look slow and clumsy whilst tagging him.
4: 10-9 much better by golota who nullifies byrd's attack and defence by keeping him pinned on the rope for the full round.
5: 10-9 closer round with byrd moving much better but still getting trapped on the ropes shipping good body shots.
6: 9-10 good stuff by byrd who lets himself get trapped on the ropes again but produces top quality defence and counter punching to completely outland golota.
7: 10-9 golota catches byrd with too many shots to give him a clear round.
8: 9-10 good round by Byrd, defending brilliantly for the most part and landing some good speedy counters.
9: 9-10 another good round by byrd who defends and counters brilliantly again. very impressed with his efforts tonight.
10: 10-9 good round by golota controlling with his staright punches walking byrd down and backing him up.
11: 9-10 good finish by golota but the first 2:30 were controlled by byrd's defence and clean punching.
12: 10-9 good final round by both men trading shots with golota landing some monster rights.

114-114

 

Why isn't Brock Lesnar on your list?

 

no this is the best bit according to naysayer's world championship policy, holmes gets more credit for beating a parkinsons riddled Ali (despite Ali clearly losing his 3rd fight to Norton who then didn't lose until facing Holmes)

 

Velasquez mauled the mofo.

 

Hell no, wlad doesn't hold the naysayer world champion! this is the bestest belt because well, shannon briggs held it for getting a gift over a 50 year old george foreman, but ray robinson never held it at WW because the fight didn't meet his criteria.

so the naysayer belt has a btter lineage because briggs > ray robinson obviously man.

 

i agree with the NON yellow ones..either way...its hetting worse by the minute...all we need is mascaev to pop back in

Champ: Wlad

1. Vitali
2. Povetkin
3. Adamek
4. Haye
5. Chambers
6. Chagaev
7. Helenius
8. Dimitrenko
9. Arreola
10. Thompson

 

exactly lol the naysayer belt is what *everyone* hopes to win. Wlad has *never* held this title!

When Robinson beat Bell for the vacant world championship everyone recognised it, everyone except naysayer! you see he says it can *only* be 1 vs 2. Bell was ranked about 12, so Robinson was *never* WW champ.

that's why any *resepctable* *boxing* *fan* will rank briggs above Wlad, and Robinson.

 

1. Wladimir
2. Vitali
3. Povetkin
That's for what i am sure (and everyone looks to be), the others from 4 to 10 are a bit harder to rank.
