    I like your order. I would just swap Lyakovich and Valuev. Although, Vitali would stop Wlad.

    I don't think too highly of Liakhovich and Pulev...I think Ibragimov was always better than Chagaev, and most of all, that Vitali was better than Wlad.

    Golota
    Valuev
    Liakovich

    The last four are interchangeable depending on the the opponent. Liakovich and Valuev match the best against guys like Brewster and Guinn. Golota matches the best against a guys like Donald and Byrd. I'm not big on Maskaev, but he beat holds some legitimate wins.

    Ibragimov was a really good fighter with fast hands, fast feet, a touch chin, and a very good punch. A southpaw who went to the head or body well, and could get a little dirty.

    He left boxing too early, but I think in a head to head sense was just a little better than Povetkin.
