    I think he belongs around 8-12.

    His ridiculous decision to fight on harms him IMO - too much longer and he may drop from the top 20.

    He should have packed in after losing to Lennox, because there was no way he was beating him, any victory over say...... Ruiz, Donald, Byrd, Wlad, Vitali would have been hollow.

    Could you make a top 10?
    Anyway I disagree if he stdoesn't stop hurts his resume,it hurts his health,I don't think it can hurt his resume,it just gets better.

    Evander's decision to fight on should not hinder him. Fighters should be judged in their primes no matter what. Evander can always pull a Foremanlike upset..........

    Agreed,if anything it makes his resume better,he is taking on one of the best HWs,altough chances he will lose.

    Anywhere between 10 and 20 could be reasonable depending on how you look at a few things.

    No, no Bowe - he is a *****, and didn't beat many quality opponents.

    A fair assessment of his career and performances puts him around 15th to 20th on the all time list. He is of course over rated by American fans, who are in the forum in the greatest numbers.
