    Evander Holyfield L ? L L
    Oliver McCall L W W ?

    What about TUA??

    He is ranked in top 15 by WBC I believe - and still only 34 years old.

    What about Tua? At this point I doubt I'd favor him to beat Shannon Briggs. He's just as limited.

    Moorer sure gets a lot of credit from you doesn't he? Have you seen his recent fights?

    What's really important there is that all of those fighters (except Moorer, unexpectedly) have an L under Klitschko's name.

    What's also important is that the other three "champions" in that list would have an "L" in the Klitschko column. I am only interested in fighters fighting Klitschko, as he is the only titlist to defend his title against real opposition. Whether or not they can beat the other "champions" is of little importance in the division, unless AFTER beating them they intend to unify.

    I didn't think that Tua was ranked but I think he is done...I mean he still has power but I never thought he was a smart fighter.

    It's incredibly sad that Tua isn't as focused as he was in the end of the 90's early 2000's because he would certainly be a force to be reckoned with! His best chances are now and he doesn't seem to be taking advantage of that...sad...

    I agree totally....He was the same fighter he was in the 90's this would be his best chance to really do something.

    Rahman and Ruiz have been Champions recently so id give them a solid chance. McCalls KOed Maskaev already so id say he could do it agian. Moorer is shot but he has 1 punch KO power he was getting trumped by Jirov and landed a big hook to put him to sleep why couldnt he KO a couple of glass jaws named Maskaev and Klitschko ? Holyfields the most skilled of the bunch and hes easily the fastest. Id give every single one a shot.
