    So what are you getting at, that Sanders can't punch?

    I have to agree with these observations. Although Rahman had big wins over Lewis and Sanders, I'd say his number of losses from 2000 onward, diminish his value somewhat, or at least enough to the point where he shouldn't be ranked as second best fighter of the decade. I can definately agree with having him as a member of the top 10, but in order to be considrered one of the top 3 of any era, you have to have credentials that are a bit more solid. Personally, I think Wlad should be number one followed by Lewis at number two. Lewis fought too few times post 2000 to be rated over Klitschko in this decade. From a career standpoint, its Lewis all the way over Wlad, but that isn't the discussion here. After Lewis, I might be inclined to looking at Ruslan Chagaev. He is afterall undefeated and holding a world title, plus he beat both Valuev and Ruiz who many are placing on their top 10 list for the 2000's. Beyond that, Rahman or Byrd may be possibilities for the number 4 spot, but I'm not exactly sure, and nor do I plan to spend a great deal of time contemplating it.

    Rahman didn't knock out Sanders! It was stopped because He wasn't defending himself. Sanders was actually ahead on the scorecards. A good fight. Check out the back issue of Ko magazine Nov '03 issue. It tells his story after the Klitschko fight. What a waste! If he could have gotten an American trainer.
