    You have Chambers ahead of Povetkin.

    Povetkin beat him without any controversy.

    Until that situation is retified, Pov ranks higher.

    VERY good list.
    Although, I would have Chagaev over Valuev, as Valuev basically lost his last fight. Also, Povetkin over Chambers.
    Good thing you recognize Boytsov, he's a heavy handed guy.

    This is like compiling a list if your top 10 cancers but that being said, there's a name that's noticeably absent from all of these lists . . . John Ruiz. Definitely a top 10 heavy in the current landscape.

    Hopefully Tua can make a comeback.

    No one cares about the heavyweight division. 140-147 and 160-168 is where it's at.

    I don't watch much heavyweight boxing any more but Vitali is clearly number 1.

    i knew people wouldn't like the ranking i gave chambers, but he has to be ranked behind povetkin. neither the peter or dimitrenko fight made me think he would win a rematch, even though he looks better than he was

    i read no more than 2 months ago that ibragimov had not retired. his former manager had made a statement saying he had, but apparently that isn't true. might try and find a link to that

    its true that at heavyweight haye has done very little, but it depends whether you think being the cruiserweight champion counts for anything, its not like he has just started his career. i say it does, but maybe i was a bit generous putting him 4th anyway

    Good ratings... I think Chambers is the only one who could MAYBE beat Vitali ... there would be a very considerable size difference, but we have seen Chambers deal with size before.. but never against someone so big and so good.

    it seem like quite a solid division at the moment. if only the klitschoko's would fight each other.

    I think that Odlanier Solis easily beats any of them (excluding the Klitschkos), he should be on that pathetic list.

    Puh-leez. That cheater Ruiz doesn't belong anywhere near the top ten, other than the top ten worst beltholders of all time.

    You have to go by official results, not opinions, imo. Valuev got the nod over Holyfield.

    And, there is a strong rationale for Povetkin being ranked over Chambers, but Chambers recent activity and victory over Dimitrenko count more to me than Povetkin' victory over Chambers a year ago. Plus, Povetkin has been out of action for most of this year.

    Boystov I think will be the next guy who starts getting hyped. Whether he'll deliver or not remains to be seen.
