    Here's mine:

    Champion: Wladimir Klitschko

    1. Vitali Klitschko
    2. Alexander Povetkin
    3. Kubrat Pulev
    4. Tomasz Adamek
    5. David Haye
    6. Bermane Stiverne
    7. Tyson Fury
    8. Robert Helenius
    9. Deontay Wilder
    10. Chris Arreola/Seth Mitchell

    I was considering dropping Vitali Klitschko because of his inactivity. David Haye has been inactive for over a year and has just one win in the past three years, but I've included him because he's scheduled to face a top ten opponent. A number of HWs are just one decent win away from the top ten (Boytsov, Jennings, Glazkov, Abdusalamov, etc).
     
  2. 1. Wladimir Klitschko

    7. Tyson Fury
    8. Robert Helenius
    9. Bermane Stiverne
    10. Vyacheslav Glazkov

    If Haye beats Fury, which I think he will, he'll be on your list.

    you have Adamek over Haye!? WOW!

    Chisora isn't on your top ten list, but Wilder, Arreola and Mitchell are? :huh

    Chisora's win over Scott trumps anything the 3 of them have done combined. :deal

    and can you please tell me how you have Stiverne that high when he's only beaten Arreola? you know, the guy that wasn't ever a top 20 fighter?

    Thanks.
     
  5. Wow, I didn't realized, Wilder on 9 :lol::rofl That guy is not even Top 40 right now!

    Wilder has never beat a live opponent. Audley was in his 40's coming off several knock out losses. Liakhovich is damaged goods, completely washed up and coming off several knock out losses. Wilder should not be anywhere near the top 10! That is BS.

    So you are :rofl at a guy who has Wilder in top 10, just like the WBA, WBC, WBO :patsch (He will be ranked even higher next month because of his last victory)

    In your mind all the governing bodies are Wrong & you right :yep

    My list similar to the OP except I have Wilder #6 exactly like the WBA & WBO have him ranked :thumbsup

    Peter McNeeley had a top 10 rating by the WBA & WBO when he fought Mike Tyson. You are right those governing bodies are unbiased and great ratings systems.

    Okay we know Mcneely ranking had to do with a Tyson fight.

    Are you accusing the Klits of bribing the 4 governing bodies at once to put Wilder up the list :?

    Or maybe, cause he is just KTFO everybody, being active....in the age of lazy, chubby contenders who just want the honor of a title shot

    Wilder is the hope of many, thats why Wilder has lots of fans & more haters...few care about the ordinary contenders, Wilder stood out by KTFO everybody he got in the ring with which is an admirable thing

    The only way to stop his rise is in the ring, until then he is the biggest up and coming contender in the 21st century :good

    Wilder is not KTFO everybody. He is only knocking out bums and old washed up fighters. He looks like the next David Price. Remember the 6'8 250 lbs 2012 ESPN prospect of the year David Price. He built up a lot of hype doing similar to Wilder. But even Price was fighting better fighters.

    29-0 100% KO ratio :deal

    He in the Top 10 of all governing bodies and his aim, is absolute greatness nothing less. Unlike most the fighters who feel lucky to share the ring with the Champion :bart
