My Top 10 Heavyweights: Head to Head In 2008

I actually think the boxrec top ten is a lot lot closer to the
mark. Maybe inter-changing Skelton at 9 with Povetkin at
13. Povetkin could be top 5 at the moment.

On their list Haye is at cruiser. Beating Tomasz Bonin is one thing ,
beating a genuine top tier HW is something else and until Haye
does something at HW to really gauge his potential it's best
to leave him out of the HW picture. #1 on 'gut feeling' is stretching
it a bit IMO.

 

Discuss what? :huh

The fake list you posted? Or your absent Father who is ultimately responsible for this attention grubbing thread?

 

Yer a mad man!

 

Good post!
Your list of the top 10 at heavy weight looks quite reasonable to my eyes.

 

:admin :admin :rofl :rofl :admin :admin Do you know boxing?

 

:good

 

boxers have to prove themselves on the ring first, before being considered.

1. Wlad
2. Chagaev
3. Ibragimov
4. Maskaev
5. Peter
6. Valuev
7. Thompson
8. Povetkin
9. Gomez
10. Virchis/Dimitrenko

 

:rofl

 

Thanks, for making my Wednesday funnier than usual! :good

 

Well, um, yes actually that's ridiculous, isn't it? :huh What makes you think Haye, Solis, Povetkin or :yep Gomez have a shot at beating Wlad at this point? Haye has fought exactly 1 overated HW to this point. Povetkin & Solis have fought good Heavys early in their pro careers but how does that make them favored to beat Wlad?

 

Lets re-phrase this. You have picked four heavweights that you hope can beat Wlad! You have got something against him, that is clear from putting boxers like Solis and Gomez as being able to beat when they have not even beaten any of elite yet.

 

How can Toney be above Rahman.....when Rahman beat him?

 

And how can anyone put Peter and Thompson above Chag?

Not only should they both be below him, but there should be a couple slots between them and Chag.

Peter ranked so high is crazy talk. :-(

 

you people all forgot MESI....

:yep
