    While the list and order of the list is fine ( I'd move Haye a few spots lower until he beats someone ) SuzieQ does a hatchet job on fighters he does not care for under weakness category.

    For example he says Vitlai has a weak resume, yet its one of the stonger ones on his list! Indeed Vitali has a KO wins over a ring magazine ranked #2 guy and a ring magazine ranked #3 guy. Let's be objective here.Compared to this group that is a strong resume. Also, Vitlai has pretty good timing, and has proven to be tough in the 00's but that is a different thread.

    Another example he thinks Dimitrneko or Chagaev lack hand speed. I disagree.

    Vitali will face either Arreola or Haye next at age 38. I'll betcha avatar rights for the next three months he defeats whomever he faces next. I also beleive as soon as Vitali beats Arreloa or Haye some will say the fighter wasn't ready or weighed too much.

    I agree with Mendoza about Haye in my eyes he has not proven himself and there is a little too much hype. I like Povetkin he seems to be the hungry one at the moment and his stamina is good which is something none of the others on the list are strong in and I don't think SuzieQ has taken stamina into account like he should. Stamina is the achilles heal of Wlad and some other big men, that said though Wlad is clearly the top HW at the moment and may be champion for a number of years to come.

    Stamina is NOT wlads achilles heal....Panic Attacks are. Look it up, they are a real thing.

    I know what panic attacks are Wlad's stamina is better than it was but no recently has been able to put him under pressure and I think you need stamina to do this.
