for me, and please excuse my ignorance as the heavyweights i kinda ingore sometimes so i dont know a lot of the up and comers and such 1 - Wlad 2 - Peter 3 - Chagaev 4 - Valuev 5 - povotkin 6 - sultan 7 - Ruiz 8 - arreola 9 - 10 - i dont know who else i should put in there.... that deserves it and who ive seen personally.
I guess you'll be able to add Haye and Vitali to that list as well soon. I also don't see why you have Sultan at 6 when he didn't even compete with Wlad at a nuetral venue while Thompson went to Wlad's territory and at least competed for half the fight.
That Cheater Ruiz should NOT be in the top ten! Hell, it's arguable whether that glorified clubfighter belongs in the top 20! I don't get what the fascination is with a guy who basically can't beat world class opponents without cheating!atsch Anyway, here's my list: 1. Wlad 2. Peter 3. Chagaev 4. Valuev 5. Ibragimov 6. Povetkin 7. Maskaev 8. Virchis 9. Arreola 10. Thompson 11. Dimetrenko 12. Chambers 13. Gomez 14. Barrett 15. Lyakhovich
1 - Valuev 2 - Peter 3 - Wlad 4 - Arreola 5 - David Haye 6 - Ruslan Chagaev 7 - [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Povetkin[/FONT] 8 - Vladimir Virchis 9 - sultan 10-Juan Carlos Gomez
very good point! where i run into a problem is... i dont want to rank thompson above ruiz and chris JUST BECAUSE he extended wlad to the 11th round.... yet i dont want to put sultan below them because lets face it, he was the beltholder one fight ago and lost to the number one but lets try it How bout this 1 - Wlad 2 - Peter 3 - Chagaev 4 - Valuev 5 - Povotkin 6 - ruiz 7 - chris 8 - thompson 9 - sultan 10 - ???? With Haye and Vitali waiting in the wings....
i dont like criticing lists but... yours REALLY doesnt make sense to me You have valuev above chagaev (who beat valuev and hasnt lost since) You have peter above wlad (who beat peter and hasnt lost since) you have haye who has never fought in the division before, in front of chagaev, who beat your number one???? ??????
I haven't done this in a while and know my list sucks. I'll adjust it later. 1. Wladimir Klitschko 2. Samuel Peter 3. Nikolay Valuev 4. Alexander Povetkin 5. Ruslan Chagaev (docked for recent and upcoming inactivity) 6. Vladimir Virchis 7. Juan Carlos Gomez 8. Cris Arreola 9. Alexander Dimitrenko 10. Tony Thompson
1. Wladimir Klitschko 2. David Haye 3. Samuel Peter 4. Vitali Klitschko 5. Ruslan Chagaev 6. Nikolai Valuev 7. Chris Arreola 8. Alexander Povetkin 9. Sultan Ibragimov 10. Vladimir Virchis I don't have any problems putting Haye second. He'd beat every other fighter there, aside from Wlad and possily Vitali. Despite being unproven at heavyweight, he is clearly superior to the majority of them. Vitali may also puzzle some people, considering how long it has been since his last fight and his physical condition. He may turn out to be totally ruined, I don't know, so it's hard to place him. I've put him there based on what I think he will be like when he returns.
Golota should be ranked higher than Lyakhovich, Barret, possibly Dimetrenko. What has Sergei done to get that ranking? The guy hasn't had a credible win on over 2 years, and is fat at this point comming at a career high vs Valuev and he didn't even win a round vs Valuev. At least Golota beat a top 10 WBA contender. Barett? Over his win over Fields? Please.
Chagaev never fights he needs to retire. I dropped him in my rankings cause he sucks. I though Valuev should have one that fight anyway. I think peter should be ranked higher do to the fact he has been beating better fighters the last few years. Wlads just kinda coasting fighting a bunch of stiffs. I like Valuev he will fight anyone. Wlads scared to death of him.
1. Vitali Klitschko 2. Wlad Klitschko 3. Chagaev 4. Peter 5. Nico Valuev 6. Povetkin 7. Ibragimov 8. Arreola 9. Thompson 10. Who Gives A **** there are about 5 guys fighting for this meaningless spot.
Champ: Wladimir Klitschko 1. Sam Peter 2. Ruslan Chagaev 3. Nikolay Valuev 4. Alexander Povetkin 5. Vlad Virchis 6. Juan Carlos Gomez 7. John Ruiz 8. Hasim Rahman (if he beats Toney) 9. Alex Dimitrenko 10. Chris Arreola 11. Andrew Golota 12. Sultan Ibragimov (will be inactive till 2009) 13. Tony Thompson 14. Eddie Chambers 15. David Haye 16. David Tua 17. Odlanier Solis 18. Lamon Brewster 19. Monte Barrett 20. Oleg Maskaev 21. JD Chapman 22. Danny Williams 23. Sergei Liakhovich 24. Oleg Platov 25. Denis Boytsov 26. Kevin Johnson 27. Joe Mesi 28. Matt Skelton 29. Friday Ahunanya 30. Kali Meehan
01. Wladimir Klitschko 02. Samuel Peter 03. Nikolai Vaulev 04. Ruslan Chagaev 05. Alexander Povetkin Really don't pay much attention to the HW division..
