    Tua is one of the most overrated fighters in recent memory. The hype the man gets/got is shocking.

    Frank is on the list-I just couldn't spell!
    Povetkin held a version of the World title, beat Byrd, Chambers, Donald, Rachman, Huck and Chagaev. He's only lost to Wlad with a referee stacked against him. Only one opponent of his had a negative win-lose record(only Johansson of elite heavyweights can better that) and he has good solid skills and is tough and durable-perhaps I have him a tad high but he certainly qualifies.

    I'm open to be convinced on Povetkin but who below him has a better resume?
