    If I look at that rankings I think it's Chagaev, cause he's not even in there and he should. But I think it's Povetkin, and that's his own fault. And behind that Sam Peter, because of his 3 losses against the Klits.

    Let's take the Ring rankings for comparison;
    C. W. Klitschko

    1. V. Klitschko
    2. Haye
    3. Povetkin
    4. Adamek
    5. Chagaev
    6. Chambers
    7. Boytsov
    8. Valuev
    9. Dimitrenko
    10. Arreola

    No man, certainly not. The most prestigious rankings (nothing is perfect tho) are these made by the ring magazine. You may find them on ringtv.com

    The Ring magazine ratings? Dimitrenko and Boytsov should not be in the TOP10.

    Pacquiao could beat a complete and utter Heavyweight bum with a record of 1(0)-26(20)-3
    and be boxrec nr 1 Heavyweight.

    got to be Chisora.

    Undefeated KO artist. No formula to beat him. Yet only ranked 10th!

    Can someone explain why?

    :huh

    Most of those guy haven't beat a single noteworthy opponent, except for VK, of course. It shows u how much the Klitschkos dominate the division.

    Povetkin, this man is doing the opposite of todays contenders he is building himself up perfecting his game getting in better shape and taking the long route to a title

    so many guys now are so quick to go in as fast as they can fight terribly almost afraid and pause in the big fight and lose badly to the K Bros

    Povetkin would rather be ready than collect a check to end his career

    Absolutely, Everyone knows Vitali got 2 losses, and Wlad has been knocked out twice. Boxrec ratings are a joke
