My top 10 heavyweights in the world

I think Chagaev is way too high, he was completely out of shape and looked horrible in his last fight. Chambers, Helenius, Arreola, they probably all beat Chagaev as he looked in his last fight.

And I don't know about Dimentrenko at #10, Tony Thompson would beat him.
I'd actually like to see Tony Thompson vs Helenius, I think that would be a good fight.

 

thats about right id say might move haye down after the loss but other than that its solid

this is an easy weight to rank

 

haye should be out of top 10

 

Despite losing, he's still the third best heavyweight around..

 

Haye should be no higher than #6 right now, he just got every round against Wlad in his last fight.

 

My list:

Champion: Wladimir Klitschko- IBF, WBO, WBA, RING
1. Vitali Klitschko- WBC
2. Tomasz Adamek
3. Alexander Povetkin
4. Eddie Chambers
5. Robert Helenius
6. Chris Arreola
7. Tony Thompson
8. David Haye
9. Alexander Dimitrenko
10. Boytsov


Notes:
Chag could reenter the list based on his performance against Pov, but I don't think he has enough left to be on the list.

David Haye is technically inept, one dimensional and will probably be replaced on my list in 6 months.

Tony Thompson made my list because he's tough and I think better than the two guys at 8, 9 and 10.

If Tyson Fury improves in conditioning and technique he will likely replace 8, 9 or 10.

 

1.Wlad
2.Vitali
3.Adamek
4.Povetkin
5.Chambers
6.Helenius
7.Haye
8.Chagaev
9.Thompson
10.Solis

 

:rofl he wasnt even third BEFORE that disgracefull fight with wlad.

 

There is 3 or 4 European champions though.

 

These 10 names are pretty much right, though I'd nudge Haye and Thompson up and Povetkin and Helenius down. Also if I was rating based on pro accomplishments rather than h2h then I might replace Solis with Dimitrenko.

 

Chagaev couldn't impress against Travis Walker. He doesn't deserve to be that high.

 

Move Chagaev down and replace Dimitrenko with Tony Thompson. But other than that not a bad list.

 

I will copy my list from another post:

1. Wladimir
2. Vitali
3. Adamek
4. Haye
5. Helenius
6. Povetkin
7. Chambers
8. Arreola
9. Thompson
10. Solis

I rate Wladimir slightly above Vitali. Adamek is far behind those 2. He is unbeaten at HW and is a former CW champion. Althought level of his opposition decreased lately, he fought in the ring his no3 position in the ranking and fights very, very often. His position will probably change after 10 September when hes facing Vitali.

Next I would place David Haye. Similar to Adamek he was the champion at CW. He was also a belt holder at HW. His level of opposotion is similar to Adameks, but his last fight was a clear loss to Wladimir Klitschko. Since Haye was one of the most demanding opponents for Wladimir in many years I still have him in my top5.

Then I rate Helenius just behind Haye. He is climbing in the ranking as he is beating the veterans. He hasnt fought a top10 opponent yet, so his abilities against elite fighters arent confirmed. As long as he keeps fighting and winning he should be around the middle top 10. I rate him that high because of Povetkin and Chambers low activity. Since they fight their fights, Helenius moves down to #7.

Then I have Povetkin who is unbeaten and has good names on resume, but his activity lowers his ranks. Fortunately he is fighting Ruslan Chagaev in August and the winner of that fight deserves the place in top 5.

Just behind him I rate Chambers, who lost to Povetkin and Wladimir, but has good names on the resume and will probably fight Thompson in an eliminator to Wlad's title. The winner of that fight deserves the place around top5 too.

Then I have Arreola, who after losing to Vitali and Adamek has fought very often and beat a couple of decent fighters. He is also in better shape now. I think that he is a perspective fighter and a good contender.

I have Thompson at #9. He has good skills and size, but doesnt fight too often and his level of opposition is mediocre.

Top ten is closing by Odlanier Solis. He possibly possesses good skills, but wasnt tested against top opposition. His loss to Vitali was very strange, because he was doing pretty well, but lost in the first round due to the either injury or legitimate punch or both.
