What are your top 3 HWs?
Mine are
1. VK
2. Brewster
3. Wlad or Toney
Vitali Klitschko is the only fighter that I can think of that has proven anything in championship fights up to this point.
Samuel Peter is up and coming, and could quite possibly be the real deal.
However, I remember before Wladimir was demolished by Corey Sanders, that he was the talk of the town and unstoppable. Now, he is just a big, fragile fighter.
Ruiz is dismissed because he's illigitimate. He seems to operate in bought-off and corrupt affairs, otherwise he would have alot of losses to guys like Golotta, and it was very obvious that he couldn't handle even James Toney.
Chris Byrd is a joke. He beat Jameel McCline, whooppee-doo. I thought he lost to Golotta also. He's just not a heavyweight, and on top of that, he's annoying to watch and boring.
As far as Lamon Brewster goes, he's a 2nd tier heavyweight along with McBride and even Rahman, he is severly lacking in skills. It wasn't that long ago that old man Holyfield beat him up.
Audley is legitimate, Sam Peter seems to be, Wladimir could be back on top if he doesn't go to sleep, but the rest of them are just there to rake in a few bucks. I wish they would all leave the heavyweight division.
Vitali Klitschko is the linear champion, passed down from Lennox Lewis.
I think that the championship lineage should be followed from days of old to name the champion.
Until somebody beats up Vitali, and it could happen, but until it does he's the champion and let's say that there are a couple of contenders and the rest are pretenders.
As for James Toney. I think James Toney, on a good day can beat anyone if he's in shape. I think they should designate him to beat up all of the pretenders in the division. Once he beats Byrd, Ruiz (again), Rahman, and all the rest of the rif-raf, I say give him a title shot. He deserves it just for being so old-school and tough.
Knuckles.
Ok lets take the top guys and see who "should" beat who if they fought tomorrow.
VK BEATS : ALL
Byrd BEATS : Brewster, Peter, Ruiz, and maybe Toney
Byrd LOSES : Wlad, VK
Brewster BEATS : Ruiz, Peter, possible Wlad
Brewster LOSES : VK, Toney, Byrd, more than likely Wlad
Peter BEATS : Ruiz.......
Peter LOSES : Everyone else
Wlad BEATS : Ruiz, Toney, Byrd, Peter, Possible Brewster
Wlad LOSES : VK (aint gonna happen)
Ruiz BEATS : HAHAHAHA>>>>
Ruiz LOSES : Everyone, unless it goes to the judges
Toney BEATS : Ruiz, Peter, Brewster
Toney LOSES : VK, Wlad, Byrd
A few of these fights could go either way, so who knows what the top list should look like :confused:
dumb fuck ?
how is that look at skills Byrd has not ducked anybody he beat your top guy last time i checked......and far as ducking everybody knows Byrd will fight anybody all you have to do is pay him his money and sign the contract its that simple and what has Vatili done so special you talk about Byrd has fought old guys(in your opinion) but you tell me a top level guy that Vitali has punished ? you say that Byrd's only claim to fame is his win over McCline well i say Vitali's only claim to fame is his loss to Lewis....how the hell you gonna build your career on a loss ??
stop going by what the public and the media says or by ring magazine form your own opinion don't just go along with the crowd
don't get mad at me for Vitali quiting whats done is done the man quit he said he didn't wanna go on...its funny how you can praise a guy who said "i quit" just how i can't see how people praise Duran the man still gave up and in boxing you should never give up.....
and i bet you havent even seen Byrd vs Tua have you ??? you just talk on what you read from other people's post
1. Byrd
2. Toney
3. Brewster
even tho i can't see anybody beating Toney but i have to give Byrd his just due
You are a dumb fuck!
What the fuck has Byrd done other than ducking this whole year?
Gettin gifts against Golota, Oquendo, and would have lost to Klitschko if he didn't quit..
His biggest win is against McCline, grandpa Holyfield, and One dimensional David Tua.
Many also think McCline was robbed...
He got whooped by Wladamir...
He got KTFO by ibeabuchi
#1. Vitali Klitschko
#2. Lamon Brewster
#3. James Toney
Lamon Brewster KO'd Golota in the 1st, Ruiz won a controversial decision over him and many think he got robbed...
Lamon would KO Ruiz easily...so I put him on top of Toney..
Rahman=overrated bum
Wladamir=needs a big win to get back on top which he will after he KO's Peter
Byrd=I can't wait to move to Michigan and run his ass over!
Ruiz=Ruins
U know the rest!
honestly thegreat1, no disrespect, u kno we got respect for each toehr, but i really dont understand how u have toney at the top man. his best win was against like ruiz, and a past his prime holfyield

if ur referring to the Rahman/Klitschko fight, its the 12th.
It'll probably end near midnight and I may work that night, so I would have to watch it tape delayed the morning of the 13th...
anybody who says ruiz or toney are top heavyweights are idiots..toney is too small and too slow to be a real heavyweight..and ruiz is just shity....peter both klitchkos brewster byrd
I think you're a little out of it. I dont like Vitali but the big pussy has to be number one. And Toney has to be above Rahman.

...Boxrec is all computer generated and is like the BCS or some crap. I still their formula sucks. Itdoesn't take into account domination or a cheesy win.
