    I'd say based on what I've seen him do up to now, I'd rank him around number 23 in world. Anything higher than that is simply not justifiable.

    so where would you put Enzo in that list then, seen as the only credible oposition he has faced so far in his career is David Haye and he got KTFO.

    Can you specify whether that is at heavyweight, or pound for pound?

    And then give some examples of who the 22 ahead of him are.

    Thanks.

    Heavyweight. I'd say clearly Ruiz, Toney, Thompson, Chagaev, Sultan Ibragimov, Timor Ibragimov, Povetkin, Chambers, Valuev, Peter,

    Hell, even Akinwande, Briggs, and Lyakohvich are more deserving than Herbie Haye.

    I'd say he has to beat at least five of the boxers named before proceeding into the top ten.

    Come on then, big me up Henry Akinwande.

    Ok, so he lost in a 6 rounder last time out, but obviously he's done something recently to impress you.

    Give me a couple of his wins in the last four years that are superior to Hayes over Bonin and Barrett...

    You are making a fool out of yourself man. Nobody can name 22 better heavyweights.

    Bonin was a joke and Barrett is one win. One win and your ready to name the guy the savior? Are you kidding. Barrett has looked like crap against many other fighters. Like I said, and like Wlad said, get in line. Herbie needs to work his way up in the heavyweight rankings. Beat at least five guys I listed, and then I;ll say he ready for a top ten ranking. Until then, GET IN LINE.

    The Klitschko's obviously don't want him to get in line so you've got a bit of a problem there.

    They see a chance to make some nice money and get more credit and exposure than they would for making mundane title defences against boring fighters.

    I just did a while ago. Prove to me that Haye is better than all of them and more deserving of a title shot.
