    And I fully agree with that switch.

    as you said, put Oleg above Peter, and I fully agree with that list.

    Dimitrenko can be added, Valuev and Povetkin needs to come down a bit.

    And if health permits, I think Vitali will sonn be on that list near his brother.

    Ruiz?? Forget he's a cheater and a fraud, he hasn't "won" a fight over a live body in years. Rahman?? How many times does this joke have to get starched before people realize that knocking out a bunch of tomato cans doesn't make you any good? :huh :patsch

    These guys are BARELY borderline top 20, let alone borderline top ten. :-(

    No, Ibragimov is worthy of two spots;)

    I would switch Maskaev and Peter, for now.

    I don't know if I like Chambers being in the top ten. I mean, yeah, he got a win over Calvin Brock, but the guy above him TKO'd Chris Byrd which I think is much more of an achievement.
    Plus, Liakhovich has been so inactive, nothing really warrants him remaining in the top ten, unless he beats Valuev. At least former champs in Ruiz and Rahman are still active, and coughing up wins.

    I knew this would come up when I began to type "Ruiz.":lol: He's definitely not top 10, but his awkard and cheating style would give a lot of guys fits outside the top 10 who aren't ready to deal with it. If I actually sat down and did an accurate ranking, he would be anywhere from 20-25, but I was just throwing names out there to finish off the "Honorable Mentions" Category.

    Nice to see you've got things in perspective!! :good Even IF Ruiz was a legitimate fighter who didn't cheat - like I said, he hasn't even "won" a fight against a live body in years.

    That he could get a shot against a top fighter without even facing a string of bums like Rahman - who shouldn't get title shots this way either - is one of the things that's grossly wrong with this sport.
