    Russian and Ukrainian or Uzbek are different nationalities.

    It's sad that some of those guys haven't had a fight since god knows when.

    Ruslan's last fight that I could remember was in April-ish against Skelton, Ibragamov fought last in Feb and before his fight a few weeks ago Oleg's last fight was in March.

    Vitali, Wladimir Klitschko and Ruslan Chagaev are just as Russians as Floyd Mayweather is Canadian.

    It´s hard to rank Ruslan. If you rank on recent accomplishments he should not be so high. If you want to rank on H2H then it´s hard to evaluate him. He may not be the same he was when he comes back.

    Maskaev should also not be that high.

    One think I really wonder about is whether Tony Thompson would be able to beat Ruiz, Maskaev or even Valuev.

    I think Chris Arreola could beat a few of the guys on this list, even though I know he's not yet faced top opposition, but to be fair I don't think the top ten makes for very good reading anyhow.

    Arreola would go 0-10(10) against the guys on that list.

    how can Vitali be #2 when he "retired" as Ring Champion and then came back and beat the crap out of their #2? He should be Ring Magazine Champion he never lost it.
