    Wlad is better than those 4 combined. Seriously joke list.

    edit. Adamek is tough boxer but not skilled, average. Dawson is best of those 4 has looked pathetic lately thou.

    Yes it is fair, no matter how bad the HW division is weight does not matter in P4P rankings.

    to answer your question about ranking heavyweightz pound for pound NO i dont think itz FAIR and FAR too often i feel they are rated WAY to high pound for pound.

    the dood that replied that haye would beat valuev of course COMPLETELY missed your point :patsch

    perhapz you should have used VALUEV vs PACMAN as your example instead :bbb

    vlad getz rated pretty high in most P4P rankingz ive seen the last year and believe me i have nothin personal against vlad and feel he has thus far earned his ranking as ONE of the TWO best heavyz (letz juz leave vitali out o this shall we, lol) in the world right NOW

    HOWEVER

    im not even sure i would rank vladdy as the best P4P heavy in the world right now although that said for sure he would be right near the top of heavy P4P rankingz

    i used to rank chris byrd as pound for pound the best heavyweight going back 5 to 10 years ago before age caught up to him

    the way he could compete and most of the time beat the BIGGER and STRONGER heavyz in his prime waz incredable and truly worthy of a HIGH P4P ranking :bbb

    lennox lewis is my TOP RANKED heavy of all time (yes i know im in the miniority lmao), that said i would RANK ali, holyfield, tyson etc etc etc HIGHER as pound for pound better fighterz than lewis regardless to the fact that in their primez i would still bet on lewis to beat them all head to head :!:

    and if your LAUGHING at me shaking your HEAD saying to yourself,,,,,

    "this guy dont know ****, ali would have killed lewis"

    well if thatz what would happen if they REALLY ever met while both in their PRIMEz i would be happy to admit after the fight that ali won because POUND for POUND he waz way better than lewis :good

    Yeah, as the size differences in the HW division have become greater and greater, there is a strong rationale for this.

    i disagree with you and think itz UNFAIR as i FEEL heavy weights that CRUSH another heavy weight that is 20lbz LIGHTER then them get TOO much P4P consideration for CRUSHING the other guy while not getting ENOUGH consideration for being 20lbs bigger which NEVER takez place in any other WEIGHT division

    i feel i understand what your trying to articulate eventhough i dont agree with you that itz FAIR but saying weight does not matter in P4P rankingz is a FUNNY way of articulating it

    And some would consider it, but with the Heavyweight division being such a tradition driven division it's unlikely we'll get a Super HW division.

    light heavyweight isn't bad, a lot of good fighters at lhw, and with some good prospects. Now cruiserweight and middleweight are horrible.
