Heavyweight Rankings

Vitali Klitschko last fought in 2004.

How the hell is he ranked ?

 

The same way Gerry Cooney was ranked when Foreman fought him. Being white and tall is a guaranteed stay in the rankings.

 

Damn, looking at that list makes you realise how **** the heavyweights are!

 

Povetkin is definatly a good fighter there's no doubting that but he's only had 13 fights....A convincing win over Byrd or Brock in this eliminator **** would make me put him in my top ten but not before

 

I think Povetkin will be fighting Wlad just a bit too early if it's on his 16th fight.

 

Povetkin will hold the heavyweight belt sooner than people think.

 

Byrd may be still top ten but Thompson is lucky to be top 20.

 

Here's my top ten:

1. Wlad Klitschko
2. Sam Peter
3. Oleg Maskaev
4. Ruslan Chagaev
5. Sultan Ibragimov
6. Nicolai Valuev
7. Calvin Brock
8. Sergei Lyakhovich
9. Chris Byrd
10.Vladimir Virchis

 

Zakman Chagaev has wins over two guys in your top ten, so why is he ranked behind Maskaev and Peter?

 

My top 10
1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Samuel Peter
3. Ruslan Chagaev
4. Tony Thompson
5. Oleg Maskaev
6. Sultan Ibragimov
7. Nikolay Valuev
8. Vladimir Virchis
9. Matt Skelton
10. Eddie Chambers
:bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb

 

I think Cooney left the rankings after Spinks beat him. He was already unranked when he fought Big George.
