Haye is the 2nd/3rd best HW in the World right now. He would beat the current version of Vitali IMO so for me he is 2nd Others will disagree.
Wlad is #2 and Vitali is #3. The best HW in the world right now is Deontay Wilder. - the world just doesn't know it yet.
The third best heavyweight, by far, is David Haye. Only Odlanier Solis could come close to rivaling him for that spot. In terms of how the leading fighters compare in ability, I'd put it something like this: 1. Vladimir Klitschko 2. Vitali Klitschko 3. David Haye 4. Odlanier Solis 5 - 9: Pick 'em: Derek Chisora, Robert Helenius, Al Povetkin, Kubrat Pulev, Chris Arreola 10 - 12: Pick 'em: Tomasz Adamek, Eddie Chambers, Tony Thompson 13 - 17: Pick 'em: Alexander Ustinov, Ruslan Chagaev, Denis Boytsov, Kevin Johnson, Juan Carlos Gomez FRINGE (in no particular order): Bermane Stiverne, Marius Wach, Alexander Dmitrenko, Seth Mitchell, Franklin Lawrence, Tyson Fury, Jonathan Banks, Ray Austin, Cedric Boswell SUB FRINGE: (in no particular order): Hasim Rahman, Luis Ortiz, Manuel Charr, Francisco Pianeta, Jean-Marc Mormeck, Monte Barrett, Konstantine Airich, Andrei Pala, Carlos Takam, Maurice Harris, Travis Walker This is just a very rough estimation of the top guys. Obviously I've overlooked some names, and incorrectly rated others. Just a guess.
I like your enthusiasm but most importantly for a HW is a mixture of power and chin. Price has proven neither. He's KOd several bum and a couple domestic level journeymen. Whereas a guy like Helenius took the best Brewster, Peter, Gammer, Bydenko, Chisora, Levin, and Liakovich could throw and KOd them all less Chisora(an iron chin himself) in which he had previously suffered a separated labrum then to add injury to injury, suffered multiple fractures to his metacarpals on the single meaningful R hand he was physically able to throw. Without a doubt, from the list, a healthy Robbe Helenius is the heir apparent to the Klitschko thrown.:deal
Huck did very well against Potvetkin. His caveman style was enough to win 5-6 rounds against the underprepared Potvetkin. That said, Huck gave away the first 4 rds like he does in every fight. And without the KDs he gets alot of times he lost the fight. He wasn't robbed, he simply handed the fight to Potvetkin by not fighting for the first 12 minutes.:rofl
