    Off the top of my head, in no particular order, I've got these guys:

    1. Mariusz Wach
    2. Andy Ruiz
    3. Danny Williams
    4. Bruce Seldon
    5. Malik Scott

    My good god, the Malik Scott KO would be brutal. Regardless of how you view Tommy Morrison as a boxer, he wins this matchup on the pure fact that he is a good enough puncher.

    You underrate Scott because Wilder embarrassed him. On the other hand, a significantly worse fighter in Michael Bentt stopped Morrison in similar fashion. Outside of that one aberration for Scott, his only other loss was due to a bizarre referee goof against Chisora in a fight he was winning. He beat Lepai and Glazkov and typically dominates the scorecards. I see little reason to favor Morrison.

    No, you assume I underrate Scott because Wilder embarrassed him. FYI I don't underrate Scott because I don't have much of an opinion on him. I've watched a lot of his fights, a lot of fights against nobody's. He has very good skills for a heavyweight, but lacks in many other areas. he's lost or drew to the first world level fighters he fought, although he probably deserved the nod over Glazkov, who in turn had fought as limited opposition up as Scott had.

    You're showing your bias by downplaying his fight with Glazkov. He won like 7-9 rounds. It was one of the worst robberies in recent years. Regardless, we're aiming for "worst" here which is why I listed him.

    Good list, but Haye is too good to be listed and I can't really justify favoring Bentt.

    Pretty sure I gave him 7, few close rounds. Maybe I sold him short, but I've just told you I liked Malik Scott, why would I have a bias against him? Don't take this literally, but I appreciate what your aiming for with this thread, but the suggestion that Malik Scott might beat Tommy Morrison struck a bit of a chord with me. I just don't see it happening, even in a long time in a galaxy far away.

    Haye is too good to be on the list but Bent was a one-hit wonder and his hit was Morrison

    Like you did in the journeyman/top 5 thread where you just replied to my post with a "no." Kettle black, and all that.

    I like your list besides Scott.

    I don't hold grudges generally, just found this funny. So I don't USUALLY hold grudges, I should say.

    The difference here is that I posted Scott knowing it was controversial but defendable and expecting to argue.

    On the other hand, thinking Quick Tillis and Tex Cobb would be top 5 heavyweights today is completely indefensible...like to the point where I wouldn't bother explaining why it's wrong.
