    Mormeck is clearly the best.

    Valuev was trash, beaten by Chagaev with ease. Ruiz was washed up and never any good to begin with. Macca we later learned didn't have the chin to play at the top level, knocked out by Frenckel recently.

    Haye really has very little to show for in terms of opposition. He won a number of belts but the opponents were mediocre at best and he has only a small number of championship fights in his as of yet short career to draw conclusions from.

    My sentiments entirely,and i'd also add that Mormeck was past his best,he'd been struggling to make the cruiser limit for quite a while.

    Actually that's probably true, as far as heavyweights go anyway, but then, as we all know, Harrison was only in there waiting for his buddy to mouth the word "now" and make that little nod so he could lie down.

    Valuev was not healthy at the time of the fight, and he won the fight anyway. Except for one good punch all Haye did was run away all night. But it was pre-arranged that if he couldn't KO Haye he would lose the decision. The boxing mobsters figured they could make a lot more moolah off the little loudmouth than off the quiet giant, and they were right about that. Just look at all the sheckels they're going to rake in with this absurd mismatch!

    old invalid SNV obviously
    Mormeck was far off his prime as well and never the same since he got ktfo´d by Bell
    i´d even put Fragomeni higher than Mormeck
