list your top 5 heavyweights and explain.

[cold]

Lol Kevin McBride is there cause that is what i thought of most of the other names to choose from. I agree McBride needs to beat Skelton anyway or someone else bigger :-)


My list is very suspect but based on Future results not yet seen.

Toney losing some more.
Byrd losing.
Calvin Brock losing

Peter winning.
Serguei Lyakhovich winning.
Valuev winning some more.
Wladimir Klitschko winning against Byrd and than losing again.

[Southpaw16]

OK, I'm going to mention something before I give this list. I do not think that Wlad Klitschko is king of the division or even is deserving of a title shot, but I would pick him to beat anyone else right now. This list is strictly who I think would beat who.

1) Wlad Klitschko
2) Calvin Brock
3) Sam Peter
4) Chris Byrd
5) John Ruiz

No, I don't like Ruiz either, the guy has a ton of heart and wins. The other two candidates for the #5 spot were Rahman, Valuev, and Toney. Toney was in disgraceful shape against Rahman and does not deserve to be in top 5, and Ruiz has a recent win against Rahman, and from what I hear, got ripped of against Valuev (I haven't seen the fight). Like I said, this list is strictly in terms of who I think would beat who.

The other one I think I need to explain is Brock being as high as number 2. Everyone constantly talks about how Brock does everything well, but nothing great. I would much rather pick a guy like that than someone who is one dimensional and will lose once he fights someone who can expose his weaknesses.

I think that Sam Peter would be too strong for Chris Byrd, given how Byrd was overpowered by Wlad and Ibeabuchi, which is why Peter got the fourth spot.

The top five by ranking (Ring-style)

1. Byrd (Champ for a while, won title legitimately)
2. Rahman (Beat Lewis, which is more than any of the others has done, but was gifted title and hasn't defended it yet)
3. Sergei (beat Brewster, who was the potential saviour of the HWs)
4. Valuev (Title holder, but he's crap, I don't like him at all)
5. Wlad (Best HW, if/when he beats Byrd he'll be no.1.

The 5 I think are the best
1. Wlad (best HW boxer, sorting out stamina problems)
2. Rahman (sometimes impresses me)
3. Byrd (really difficult to hit, feather-fisted, but would back him to beat fat Toney)
4. Toney (if he got thinner he'd be up at two)
5. Sergei (first time I've seen him. He's no great shakes but with that heart and good handspeed he makes the top 5.

[FeelTheA-Force]

1 - Audley Harrison (he had a bad night with danny, due to family problems. if you see any of his fights you will see that he is such a technicall boxer and with the physical power too.) he potentially in my eyes has the attributes to beat any world class fighter.

2 - Danny Williams (beat Skelton and Harrison on a SD, has the power and heart to beat anyone. apart from the bitchco's)

3 - Matt Skelton (beat every man that was put in front of him, apart from danny. he could beat maybe Valuev)

4 - Hasim Rahman (beat Lennox therefore will beat anyone. on a good day.

5 - LEMON Brewster - lost recently. exposed slightly. hmmmm

.......Worst top five list in the history of mankind.

He is british give him some leeway...Ha

2tough Skelton/Harrison is relatively unproven and is like top 15 material...Williams is a fringe top 8-10 contender.

Could Oliver McCall beat anyone?

[FeelTheA-Force]

Im glad you find humour in my picks.

but they could perform well if put into the deep end.

No disrespect but in todays division anybody in the top 20 could put on a decent showing against the number 1 guy it is just that bad.

While Williams/Skelton/Harrison are all decent fighters they certainly are not championship material and are relatively unknown and unproven. But hey people said the same thing about Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe and look what they did....Potential is their but hasnt been reached my friend.

[BloodClot]

it was clearly a wide UD for Sergei so why should there be a rematch?
