    Haye won world titles twice in an opponents back yard? Does that not take ball?

    those ranks are so stupid. it is not even worth going through them to point out all the issues - there are too many.

    I believe hell has just frozen over: Pacquiao fans side-by-side with Mayweather fans; Klitschko fans side-by-side with Haye fans; and Amir Khan fans side-by-side with Juan Manuel Marquez fans all agreeing in unison that the Ring Magazine's top 100 fighters list is a pile of canine excrement sitting in the hot sun.

    I'm surprised to be honest, people might question his heart, commitment etc, but his skills are there for all to see. He hardly loses a round. When I say his skills, technically he is not very good, but like roy jones, he has the athleticism to make up for it. Based on victories over gurov, fragomeni, mormeck, maccarinelli, barret, valuev and ruiz I would say a top thirty place should be pretty solid. You know out of the guys 26 fights he has a solid 7 victories there. The funny thing is if he did beat both klits he'd be a lock for top ten, so in two fights you can jump over 40 positions? From the looks of it it's impossible for vitali to get in the top ten, beating both haye and adamek wouldn't make much of a difference according to these rankings.

    **** ranking, Haye is ranked behind Joshua ****ING Clottey and Tavoris Cloud. His body of work at Cruiserweight alone propels him ahead of Clottey and Cloud.

    Pirog is ranked behind Sturm(Pirog's one win Jacobs is better than Sturm's entire Middleweight resume)

    Khan is ranked 27 for his wins over Maidana(nearly got flattened but good win), and for his wins over a faded no-power Malignaggi and bum killer Salitia.

    That's not unreasonable at all. Adamek was a light heavyweight champion, Ring/IBF Cruiserweight champion and is a top 5 ranked heavyweight. Haye was the WBO, WBA, WBC, Ring Cruiserweight Champion and WBA heavyweight champinon. Adamek has won six major world title fights. Haye has won 5. Adamek and Haye both are 2-division world champions, 1-division considered linear for each, yet Adamek is a top five in a third division. Adamek's linear title came in his second weight, Haye's at his first. Haye's championship years started in November 2007 and continue to January 2011, so far. Adamek's championship years started in May of 2005 and ended in February of 2010, as of now.

    Both have only one loss, Adamek has many more fights but Haye has more victories over men whose record has a major world title attached to their name, by my count, 6-2. They each have something over the other, and I think it's crazy for someone to consider one unarguably being ranked above the other. I currently have to rank Haye higher at heavyweight because he's a natural/large cruiser/average sized heavyweight with elite heavyweight power, imo, and Adamek isn't. But, p4p, their accomplishments put them in similar league, imo.

    Good reason for me to keep ignoring these stupid lists. Adamek #49 and Haye #56 seems to be another straight up insult to heavyweight division.
