    Arreola has 35 pro wins. A couple of those wins are against fighters who might beat Helenius. McCline from 08-09, Travis Walker, Manual Quezada, Chazz Witherspoon.

    Helenius put together a nice streak vrs. ex-champs but when he took on a prime fighter (Chisora) he got outclassed.

    I agree Helenius' win vrs. Peter is better than any single Arreola win.

    It's a close call, but Arreola's CV puts him ahead.

    H2H, I think Arreola's experience and ring savvy would carry him to victory if he got in the ring with Helenius right now. It would be a good fight.

    I'm not saying Boswell is a massive scalp, I'm pointing out Haye's resume is thin. Haye only has 3 wins that are better than Boswell...Valuev, Mormeck, Chisora. Boswell was a better win then shot Ruiz. Brass tax--Povetkin's wins over Chagaev and Chambers alone put him ahead of Haye CV wise.

    3. Alexander Povetkin
    4. Robert Helenius
    5. Tomasz Adamek
    6. Kubrat Pulev
    7. Chris Arreola
    8. Tyson Fury

    I would say that the real contenders are between #1 and #12. Then you have recycled contenders and some prospects that are one fight from the Top10. After #18, you have fringe contenders.

    the only dude that would beat Ruddock fosho is Vitali. Ruddock would absolutely crush that list to pieces with the exception of Wlad and Vitali and would stand a very good Chance at upsetting Wlad with his aggression and Power. Ruddock vs Wlad is 50/50 imo.

    I would put in Glazkov, and take out Dimitrenko. I would also take out Thompson out of the top 15. Pretty good though.
