    The first one that looks something like mine, other than I have Povetkin above that circus freak Valuev, and old inactive glass jawed Maskaev

    how can anyone rank Sergei Liakhovich in their top 10? he has fought exactly twice in 37 months. There is no way u can defend that.

    I can't see too many others pushing for places :lol:

    To be fair I've got him at 10 rather than 9, as a token gesture

    Wlad
    Chageav
    Maskeav
    Ibragimov
    Peter
    Valuev
    Liakhovich
    Thompson
    Gomez

    With so many poor boxers, light hitters and Glass chinned hyped jobs it does not matter who you have where in the list it will always look awful.

    Audley Harrison beats all of them!

    David Haye will conquer heavyweight when he moves up anyway.

    This is how I see it as well, though I would move Povetkin past Valuev

    As far as the heavyweight division goes, there is good news and bad news.

    Wlad, Povetkin, Ibragimov, Chagaev and Peter as a group are average under the age of 30!!! It is rare to have the top five on average being under 30 years of age. This means they are in their primes. What they need to do is fight each other. The ones who win the most matches will have a legacy. All a boxing fan can ask for is for the top talent to fight each other. We will see our first heavyweight title unifcation match in years next month.

    The press is still looking for an American heavyweight. Thompson is older, and might drop out of the top ten soon.

    1. Wlad
    2. Chagaev
    3. Peter
    4. Ibragamov
    5. Maskaev
    6. Povetkin
    7. Valuev
    8. Thompson
    9. Virchis
    10. Gomez

    Neither Rahman nor Ruiz belongs anywhere near the top 10 at this point. If Ruiz convincingly beats McCline, then he has an argument. Rahman is shot and done.
