    That's a pretty good list. I'd move Rahman a few of notches down and replace Toney by Brewster, but overal it's solid.:good

    This is a fairly decent list. I still don't think Toney belongs on there, but other than that, I can live with it.

    Good list. I don't think Rahman should be that high, and I don't think Toney should be there at all, but all things considered, a good list.

    :think How about Roy Jones Jr's foray into the Heavyweight division: 1-0 against Opponents on list?

    Only one fight, but still managed to beat the number 7 on this list and even though it is speculation I do feel that back then he would have outboxed a green Peter, same goes for Valuev and we already know he could box the ears of Toney.

    Worth consideration or just not enough of an actual resume?

    No Maskaev, with his two wins over Rahman?

    At least put him over Toney.

    This list is a bit better. Toney was lucky to draw vs Rhaman, and did not beat Ruiz due to a failed riods test. I would put Maskeav on the list over Toney, as he was rated higher ( #2 ). I also think Sanders based on a bigger win, or Johnson based on beating Maskeav belong over Toney.
