    I just checked out WBA's homepage. Adamek is now no. 9, Wlodarczyk is no. 14 and Pineda is out.

    That's almost exactly the same as mine. However, I'd shift Haye above Enzo and maybe Wlodarczyk too.

    Enzo may be a world champ, but Haye's accomplished more as he earnt the european belt by beating the champ and defended it against contenders. Enzo was gifted his belt and has only fought Dominguez as an opponent of any note since.

    Huck's about right too, he hasn't in my opinion fought anybody big enough to rank him 3rd as somebody else has done.

    Wlodarczyk plain sucks - he has no talent and does not improve at all. Adamek is a class above him and would humiliate Wlodarczyk. I'm Polish btw.

    Wlodarczyk would IMO lose to most of the guys on these lists.

    BJ Flores really shouldn't be anywhere near the top 15. I realize he has a good record against a bunch of cans, but if you've actually seen him fight, you'd see that he's basically a bigger version of Peter Manfredo.

    No love for Henry Maske, who just beat Virgil Hill, or does everyone just assume he'll stay retired?

    He didn't "beat" Virgil Hill, that "fight" was ridiculous.

    OK, well he stood around and won. Either way, it was a typical Virgil Hill fight. It's not like he's ever been the type to land more than 10 or so punches a round. I just find it interesting that people still have Hill in their top 10s. The logical conclusion would seem to me that Maske should be in there ahead of Hill.

    Accomplishments are overrated. Look at me? I've never accomplished anything in my life, and yet, I still regard myself with the utmost importance in the grand scheme of things.

    10.Krystof Wlodarcyk


    Soon among the top 10: Jonathan Banks,Rudolf Kraj,and Alexander Aleexev.

    My guess: within the next 2 years Alexeev will be the king of this division.

    Axe,I cant find Vadim Tokarev on your list! He beat your number 9,Darnell Wilson,and drawed with your number 12.
    Tokarev would beat the hell out of both Cunningham and Wlodarcyzk IMO.

    As I said earlier, Huck's done nothing to be rated that highly. He may be undefeated, but his records not spectacular.

    Bell's a former champ as is Wlodarczyk. Cunningham and Enzo are reigning champs. Haye's euro champ and number 1 contender for Mormeck's belt. All these guys have achieved more and sport comparable if not better records. People like Ding have a good shout for a higher place based on opposition too.
