    They should all get the equal respect as any boxer from American, Mexican, PR, or any part of the world.

    Sadly they don't.

      I wouldn't use the word greatness because Kosta and Wlad are the only ones considered great. But Its prob Wlad, Kosta, Joe then take your pick.

              Bute and Povetkin shouldnt be on this list cause they didnt beat a real good champion. Povetkin is a paper champion. The other guys on the list are pretty awesome. the Klitschkos are ATG Heavyweights, Kostya Tszyu is a top3 All time 140 pound fighter, Michalczewski is pretty much a top 3 LH all time with a record of title defences. Henry Maske was an excellent fighter with a very high ring IQ a la Hopkins.
              Calzaghe is overrated imo. Fought lots of bums and ducked quite some fighters.
              Adamek is great also, highly skilled. All fighters on the list except Bute and Povetkin are hall of famers without a doubt.

              here is my rating:
              1. Wlad Klitschko
              2. Vitali Klitschko (I rate the heavyweights so high cause its the king division in boxing)
              3. Dariusz Michalczewski
              4. Kostya Tszyu
              5. Tomasz Adamek
              6. Joe Calzaghe
              7. David Haye
              8. Henry Maske
              9. Lucian Bute
              10. Alexander Povetkin

                Maske not included as I know him only from boxrec to be honest, but I might put him right behind Michalczewski.
                Bro, you gotta watch fights of Henry Maske, he had a ring intelligence second to nobody. His ring IQ is as high as Bernard Hopkins'
                You gotta watch fights of him!

                  The klitschkos are big fans.

                  Maske was a tall rangy southpaw...a great and sometimes under appreciated fighter.
