    1. Wladimir Klitschko
    2. Vitali Klitschko
    3. David Haye
    4. Alexander Povetkin
    5. Kubrat Pulev
    6. Tyson Fury
    7. Bermane Stiverne
    8. Tony Thompson
    9. Tomasz Adamek
    10. Dereck Chisora

    This list is perfect. Lists with Helenius etc are ill-thought.

    I stopped reading when I saw averagemek on the list. He is no top 10 heavyweight. Even a fat out of shape guy like Solis would murder him. replace averagemek and its a good list

    Helenius had a good fight with Chisora despite the use of ONLY ONE ARM.

    Whether or not Chisora SHOULD have been awarded the decision does not matter in determining the rankings.

    Since that close fight he's had 2 wins over better than journeyman level competition.
    Chisoras win over Scott may be better, but it's not yet known if Scott is actually the goods since he seemed afraid to engage in his bout with DelBoy.

    I have Helenius higher than Adamek b/c his wins over 3 former world titlists at HW are better accomplishments than those of Adamek at the same wieght.


    Wlad
    Vitali
    Potvetkin
    Haye
    Helenius
    Fury
    Pulev
    Adamek
    Solis
    Stiverne

    Helenius has done nothing to warrant a place in the list. He clearly lost to Del Boy who took Klitschko 12 rounds and has operated resonably well at the weight.

    As for Adamek, his achievments at HW surely surpass those of Solis........

    If Haye beats Fury - which I think he will - I think he solidifies his claim for the #3 spot. Right now though, who has he beaten in the last 3 years? Audley? Chisora? Please.

    Anyone who doesn't have Povetkin as the third best hw can't be taken seriously. So no.

    Slide Haye down two below Povetkin who is a clear third and Pulev as well or remove Haye for inactivity.

    Push Thompson up two spots.

    Do that and I would have the exact same rankings.

    I'd probably switch Adamek for Solis and drop Fury to #8, thus moving Thompson and Stiverne up one spot each... Pretty solid list though

    This is what I mean. Explain your logic. Haye was a legit champ at HW, and has good wins over Valuev, Ruiz and Chisora. Who has the Russian fought? Throw in the fact he is a former 200 lb king as well as giving Wlad Klitschko his hardest fight in years (show me another fighter who has pushed the Ukranian like that) then you quickly see how he trumps Povetkin. Its commoon dog. He is a paper titlist.

    Haye was no more legit than Povetkin is now. Wlad beat Chagaev for the real WBA, as Chagaev was stripped thanks to Don King and his own blood tests. In fact since Povetkin beat the last legit WBA Champ for the title he's probably more legit than Haye was.

    Haye wasn't a legit champ. Chagaev was THE WBA Champion not Valuev. Add on the disgraceful manner in which Haye 'won' it and how did that make him a legit champion? :lol:
