The russians have taken over the heavyweights completely in the rankings it seems. 1. WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO 2. SAMUEL PETER 3. RUSLAN CHAGAEV 4. OLEG MASKAEV 5. NICOLAY VALUEV 6. SULTAN IBRAGIMOV 7. ALEXANDER POVETKIN 8. VLADIMIR VIRCHIS 9. TONY THOMPSON 10. SERGEI LIAKHOVICH
Everyone except Peter and Thompson speak Russian and were born and raised in the Soviet Union. That's "Russian" by American standards. Damn Thompson's the only American!
The point is that it hasn't happened yet & in boxing we usually wait for the actual fight to happen before we give credit for a supposed victory. It's the way we roll.............
