    It is really not very hard to get a top en ranking today.

    Look at the men at the lower end of the top ten, and look at who they beat to get their ranking.

    On that basis you could get most of these men into the top ten, by matching them against tomato cans.

    Getting up the rankings would obviously be harder.

    I think that skill will get a small heavyweight into the top five today, with a bit of clever match making.

    If you want to get much beyond that, then the questions become more difficult for these guys.

    They are going to be giving up weight, to men who have layers to their game.

    This is going to take an exceptional fighter.
