    I fail to see the problem.

    ...wait for the Brits to complain that it has an American biased while completely ignoring the fact that only 2 Americans are in the top 10.

    Haye is a fake hero.

    I nearly came in here to complain why Amir Khan wasn't in the Top 20, until I saw Devon Alexander at No. 51.

    Ouch.

    Surely Haye should be higher than that? I'd rank him somwhere in the 30s, possibly early 40s.Undisputed CW champ and notable wins against Valuev and the always-servicable Barrett? Even Ruiz was no worse than Briggs or Grant.

    Tomasz Adamek (49) outranks Haye on this list, yet Haye outranks Adamek in the heavyweight rankings? Even p4p at CW Haye has the better resume so scratching my head with this one.

    I don't think it's a bias against foreign-fighters - I think it's a bias against HWs. They even had to explain themelves in the Klit section that they weren't bias against HWs so it leads me to believe they at least acknowledge they have/had bias in the past (and still looks like they still do).

    Not that I rank David Haye , but you have to say outside of the top 20 it all gets a little messy.

    If a fighter can have a loss as his last fight on his record which many have how can Calderon be rated so low?

    And would you really have Kelly Pavlik on any list???

    Ring magazine hates the klitshckos', for what ever reason, an hayes no question for clearing out the cruisers, an winning a belt at heavy, he deserves to be ranked in the low 30's if not the 20's, but the ring is just assuming wlad will knock him out, so they want to take away as much credit for that victory as they can.

    I've jumped onto the Amanda Tam bandwagon thread that was started in appreciation of eze's avatar and eventually became a photo dump of this hoe. She might not be Japanese or Korean but she'll do...she'll do.

    This is the problem with any of these types of lists. Pavlik has been inactive in 2010, losing in his only fight to Martinez (Granted he is ranked #3).

    2009 he has wins over Espino and Rubio - nothing special.

    Prior to that it's three solid wins as undisputed and linear MW champion (2x Taylor and Lockett), and a lopsided loss to Hopkins at LHW in 2008(Ranked #15).

    Pavlik is ranked #33 in front of guys like Kameda and Agbeko. Agreed, a very messy list after top 20.
