    The Top 30 Heavyweights according to ludwig, as of 9/14. This is a performance based ranking, not potential or even h2h.

    Klitschko
    Pulev
    Povetkin
    Stiverne
    Fury
    Takam
    Chisora
    Jennings
    Glazkov
    Wilder
    Adamek
    Thompson
    Cunningham
    Chagaev
    Chambers
    Ortiz
    Mansour
    Arreola
    Perez
    Solis
    Ustinov
    Price
    Ruiz Jr.
    Browne
    Scott
    Hammer
    Teper
    Leapai
    Charr
    Boystov

    in that order.

    Looking forward to upcoming match-ups Klitshko/Pulev, Povetkin/Takam, Fury/Chisora, and Chagaev/Ortiz to help sort out the division and give it a different look for 2015.

    Really the only guy who could give Klit a run for his money is Pulev.

    Stiverne has the power, but he is a guy who lost rounds to Ray Austin. Wilder is a fraud.

    Division looking thin at the top.

    Perez should probably slot in ahead of Cunningham, at the least.

    Good list. Solid. Joseph Parker might break into it soon and hopefully Helenius finally returns.

    Price is a bit suspect for me.

    Anthony Joshua would beat 95% of these guys now!

    That would mean hè would beat any but 2 of them (Wlad and Pov or Pulev) while Joshua himself admitted he got a lot to Learn after sparring Wlad.
    So that's pretty unlikely.

    I can't believe people used to rate Denis Boytstov highly, I always knew he was going nowhere.....

    edit :
    I thought it was historical.
    Otherwise, I did not assume one is interested about heavyweights ranked below top 10 of this moment.

    a quick guess of the current top 10:
    WK
    Pulev
    Povetkin
    Andy Ruiz Jr
    Fury
    Chisora
    Carlos Takam
    Stiverne
    Chagaev
    Oquendo

    Glazkov
    Mike Perez
    Bryant Jennings
    Adamek



    The historic was:


    Tony Tucker
    Oliver McCall
    Nicolay Valuev
    George Foreman
    James Smith
    Evander Holyfield
    David Tua
    James Douglas
    Vitali Klitschko
    Riddick Bowe


    Lennox Lewis
    Tim Witherspoon
    Ike Ibeabuchi
    Henry Akinwande
    Lamon Brewster
    Ross Puritty
    Corrie Sanders
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Jameel McCline
    Andrezj Golota


    Pinklon Thomas
    Tony Tubbs
    Ray Mercer
    Dominick Guinn
    Michael Grant
    Marion Wilson
    Mark Wills
    Mike White
    Dee Collier
    Mitchel Green

    Agreed. It's astonishing to note that Boytsov maintained a number-7 ranking in the Ring Magazine's Annual Heavyweight Ratings, four-years-running (2009-2012 inc.).
