    Klitschkos in no order 1 and 2

    3 Povetkin
    4 Chambers
    5 Chagaev
    5a Ibragimov (he is not retired)
    6 Thompson (very underrated IMO)
    7 Arreola
    8 Gomez
    9 Haye
    10 Valuev

    Others in the mix:

    Peter (with 243lbs. he still can be a factor. Weight is his biggest problem and now it seems he recognized it. I wouldnt count him off)

    Boytsov (hot prospect),

    Brewster (stabled in Germany might be a factor),

    Solis, Kevin Johnson (great that Solis fights Johnson, winner will be solid Top10)

    unprejudiced, non-xenophobic boxing fans who can accept that the HW-title isnt a american affair anymore and who love to watch boxing because of the sport and not because of entertainment. If I wanna entertainment i look in the mirror.

    :good I forgot about Iggy. If he's really not retired he'd be in the top 10 and I agree that the winner of Johnson & Solis will be in the lower half of the top 10.

    Some thought out lists here. I might tally these at some point. When I need a nap, you know.

    *yawn* The current heavyweight division is the equivalent of a local tough man competition from the 90's. :D

    Other than the top three fighters, there's nothing worth watching.

    I hope Chambers is in really good shape when he finally gets to fight Wlad, because, I think he could cause some real problems for Vlad if he can get inside.
