    None of the last Klitschko brothers opponents had a real chance against them, as shown in their respective fights. But if you would assess the perfomance of the last Klitschko's brothers opponents , how would you rate their effort. Which of them had the better chance to win during their fights:

    1. Juan Carlos Gomez
    2. Chris Arreola
    3. Tony Thompson
    4. Ruslan Chagaev
    5. Peter Sam
    6. Hasim Rahman

    Glad you give credit to Gomez, a great fighter bit past his prime (and ideal weight). Personally I'd rate Gomez, Arreola and Chagaev on the same level, I think all of them would beat Thompson, Peter and Rahman, who'd be the 2nd group. Other than an old Rahman, these were quality top contenders or reigning champions.

    i think povetkin, chambers, haye and probably also valuev are all better then those 6 fighters.... so there are challengers left... but i wouldn´t bet for any of them
