My Top 10 Heavyweights: Head to Head In 2008

:roll:

 

Your lists are total crap.

 

I dont know how Hayes at 1, he has proved nothing at the Heavyweight division to get a number 1 spot. His defensive skills suck, and his chin is as bad as Wlads, all he got is power.
1. Wladimir
2. Peter
3. Chagaev
4. Maskaev
5. Sultan
6. Povetkin
7. Valuev
8. Gomez
9. Solis
10. Virchis

 

Wow.. i just got douche chills.. worst post of the year!

 

Superheavyweight are you just trying to get big reactions or do you seriously thing Oliander Solis, at this point, would beat Wlad????

 

I´d find it hard to make a list like this, cause I haven´t seen enough of many of these boxers or they haven´t even had enough fights to judge them. It´s also very hard to know how good Vitali would be if he came back now.

I´ll put Wlad at top though, with Chagaev and Povetkin near the top.

I have a feeling Haye will do really well at heavyweight but it´s quite early to tell.

 

Even with the injuries sustained in the crash you are still able to type crap lists like this oneatsch

 

Terrible list LOL

Try something like this -

1. Wladimir

2. Chagaev
3. Povetkin (really interchangable with Chagaev)

4. Ibragimov
5. Peter
6. Tua
7. Ruiz/Maskaev

Not really sure about 4-7...depends on things like are Tua/Ruiz back for real? Is Peter a fraud? Does Sultan have a weak chin? Will Maskaev even fight again?

8. Gomez
9. Valuev
10. Virchis/Chambers/Holyfield

These five guys I'm even more unsure about...Virchis has murderous power but is clumsy, Chambers is small + fat + featherfisted, Valuev is unproven, Gomez looks decent but is also unproven. Holyfield is old and lost decisively to Ibragimov, but I think his chin + experience keep him a top 10 contender.

Solis + Haye I didn't rank, they are waaaay too unproven at the weight.

I left off Vitali Klitschko because I doubt he will ever fight again, but if he gets into 2004ish VK shape he would be in that top tier with Wladimir.

The problem with today's HW scene is that it's a huge styles thing...Ibragimov's safety-first style took perfect care of Holyfield, but he would get blown the **** out by a Tua/Wlad type with fast, aggressive power.

Maskaev has skills, but his chin is so suspect that I don't know if I can favor him over any of the big hitters, either.

To top it all off, all of the big hitters (except Wlad) are so clumsy (Peter, Virchis) that it's either a brutal KO victory or a shutout decision/KO loss for them.

Jameel McCline probably deserves an honorable mention, he put up a good show against Peter.

 

:good Stellar reponse.

But I would factor Vitali in there. BUt I can understand someone not putting him in there til he proves himself, again.

 

Superheavy I hope your list is based on whom you like, because I'm not even sure that Haye has fought at Heavyweight yet. Odlanier Solis was a great amateur but that doesn't necesseraly will make him a great pro. Well your list is your list thought and I respect it,good for you. my list of top heavyweights goes as follows in no particular order

Wladimir
Chagaev
Peter
Ruiz
Ibragimov
Valuev
Gomez
Povetkin-still young though
Dimitrenko
Maskaev

 

1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Samuel Peter
3. Tony Thompson
4. Ruslan Chagaev
5. Oleg Maskaev
6. James Toney
7.Sultan Ibragimov
8. Juan Carlos Gomez
9. Alexander Povetkin
10.Hasim Rahman
:good
