Best five wins thread. Lineal / Ring Magazine heavyweight champions.

The title of the thread is:

Best five wins thread. Lineal / Ring Magazine heavyweight champions.

 

Which Johnson? ( Kirk or Kevin )

Who is Brown?

 

Kirk

I meant Gomez, i don't know why i typed Brown lol, i edited my answer.

 

At the conclusion of the thread, I will be arching the data, and taking fighters on the top 5 list ( As long a they were not champions ) and placing them into a 32 or 64 single elimination tournament. Every lineal / Ring magazine champion will have at least one opponent beaten in the mix.

I have not decided on whether to make 2 or 4 brackets.

 

That sound fantastic. Look forward to it.

 

Vitali Klitschko

1----Corrie Sanders
2----Sam Peter
3----Tomas Adamek
4----Juan Carlos Gomez
5----Herbie Hide

 

My list:

1. Sanders (Ring Title winning effort)
2. Peter (Win over the WBC Champ, and #1 Ring contender)
3. Adamek (Highly ranked contender)
4. Kirk Johnson (Dominant win over a ranked contender)
5. Chisorah (win over a dangerous contender, with one arm out of action)

 

Peter
Sanders
Arreola
Hide
Adamick
average enough for such a decent fighter.

 

They way I plan on bracketing things the contenders from Sullivan ( bracket 1 ) to Corbett ( Bracket 2 ) will be in opposite brackets, as will the contenders from Fitzsimmons ( bracket 3 ) to Jeffries.( Bracket 4 ) This will balance each bracket with old timers and modern fighters. If one bracket gets over loaded, I might reverse order for the next batch of four. ( Johnson, Willard, Dempsey and Tunney ). We'll see. It will be very close.

Sanders
Peter
Adamek
Kirk Johnson
Gomez

Larry Donald just missed my cut.

 

Vitali Klitschkos 5 best wins

1 Sanders - Coming off an impressive win over Wlad
2 Peter - Highly rated and on a strong run. Vitalis first fight in 4 years
3 Kirk Johnson - Good fighter, probably underachieved a bit.
4 Adamek - 175 belt holder, cruiserweight champ, and top 5 heavyweight. Good win
5 Gomez - Long time cruiserweight champ and a good heavyweight


You can put Arreola, Chisora, or possibly Donald in without any problem. It looks like Vitali has a nice long list of good wins but seems to lack a strong win for his top two spots

 

Vitali
1 sanders
2 peter
3 gomez
4 hide
5 donald

 

The tally can out like this:

Vitali's Klitschko's top five wins

1. Sanders 39 points
2. Peter 33 points
3. Adamek 18 votes
4. K Johnson 10 votes ( tiebreaker )
5. Gomez 10 votes

 

Up next is Wladimir Klitschko who was on top for 4,382 days ( more than Joe Louis ) and was 2nd only to Joe Louis in total with 25 title fight wins. Sorting through his top 5 won't be easy. The voting ends Monday night.

 

Might just be worth waiting until tomorrow before weighing in on this one!
