    Wow, Amir Mansour in your top 5? No Ustinov / Wach? I think they beat at least ten names in your top 25 due to size advantage only.

    Helenius is overrated. Pulev played with him several months ago in sparring. Platov is a troll attempt :D Peter is not longer relevant, I think he's 53 years or something. Dimitrenko is terrible, everyone in this list beats him.

    Briedis is now listed as HW, might be considered as a Top 20 guy.

    He is rated #8 already on Boxrec, which is way too high at this point. He got a very solid win in Charr, but he has to prove more to be ranked at this point.

    I like the calls for Breazele, Wallin and Kuzman, and would add Granate, but they aren't quite there yet in my book. Good young guys.

    Also Ortiz would beat a lot of guys on both our lists, but at 36 years old and just caught for steroids, his career is done. No one is going to give him a chance, period. Might as well scratch him off the list.

    Is Platov still alive? Peter, really?

    Parker is under rated yet doesn't make your top 25?? He's behind guys like Peter?

    Parker is easily top 15

    Good post, your top three truly represents the rankings. Wlad, Povetkin and Ruslan are a cut above the rest :deal

    Overall this is okay. I have five points where I disagree.

    1 ) I would move Helenius up10 spots. He's a big man who can punch and take a punch.

    2 ) I would move Tarver way down. Who has he beaten?

    3 ) Lucas Browne has done enough to rate

    4 ) Chagaev should be a little higher

    5 ) Wilder should be at least five spots higher.
