    Since Lennox Lewis retired in 2003, who is the best heavyweight you've seen?

    Tom's flexibility over the top rope should have given him that victory by default. Skelton is just too slick and black - it's an obvious choice no doubt, but I went for the more thought provoking Dallas pick. Each to their own, I guess.

    I like Matt Skelton.

    We should never make fun of ring warriors like Skelton. He always came to win, never just for a payday, and he has always been willing to fight anybody anywhere.

    With all the pussys like Dimitrenko and prima donnas like

    , we should appreciate the warriors like Skelton.

    It's impossible to say because the top two guys haven't fought each other.

    It's obviously between Wlad and Vitali, but we don't know who the best is. We might know who has the best record, best names on their resume or the most dominant career - but without the top two guys in the division fighting each other then we won't know who the best is.

    Either way, it's one of those two.

    Vitali, I think Vitali is the better brother personally, while Wlad has the better resume I view Vitali as a far superior fighter.

    I think Vitali beats Wlad head to head too, at least prime Vitali does.

    A poll from the same guy who named Wlad as the most exciting fighter in boxing. I wonder if there is an agenda here?
