Today I tried to put a list together, the top10 current heavyweights based on accomplishments. Not easy, what do you think of my list, girls and guys?
Champ : LAMON BREWSTER
The most dominant champ since Lennox Lewis in my view. Great wins over Klitschko, Krasniqui, Golota.
01 : CHRIS BYRD
The longest reigning champ of all current heavies. Some of his recent bouts might have been close, maybe even controversial, but he is still quite successful.
02 : HASIM RAHMAN
Long winning streak, wins over Meehan and Barrett. I think he deserved the win over Toney.
03 : NIKOLAY VALUEV
His last two wins by decision were highly controversial, but a win is a win.
04 : JOHN RUIZ
Still, he got a great resume.
05 : WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO
Not impressively lately. The Peter win is big, though, although he was floored several times.
06 : JAMES TONEY
Undefeated at HW, but I do not see him having a bright future at that weight.
07 : CALVIN BROCK
Undefeated with some really good wins over Etienne, McCline and Lawrence.
08 : DANNY WILLIAMS
Good resume as of late.
09 : OLEG MASKAEV
WBC mandatory, big win over Sinan Samil Sam.
10 : SULTAN IBRAGIMOV
Undefeated, impressive fighter with quite a good record already.
It's impossible to get excited about any of these guys but..here goes
1.Rahman
2.Toney
3.Byrd
4.Brewster
5.Klitschko
6.Brock
7.Williams
8.Valuev
9.Ruiz
10.Maskaev
11.Briggs
12.Donald
13.S.Ibragimov
14.Gomez
15.Peter
1 byrd= the resume is great still has great skills but is boring
2 brewster= if he can learn to box and get some d he would be easy 1
3 rahman he did beat tony and beat barret and meeham who is better than most
4 klitscho= he will get his mojo back. he may get knock down a lot but he gets up.
5 toney= needs a big win or he should be at the bottom of the list
6 brock= needs to fight big name for his next he is fighting the wrong cousin although ti is probly his best match up besides the mcline fight
7 ruiz the guy has a good record nuff said
8 valuev he has faught some decnt fighters
9 danny williams= i think on a good night he can beat any hw
10 big o= agian on a good night he can beat any one
Good list. I would rank it like this:
Champion: Vacant
01. Lamon Brewster
02. Hasim Rahman
03. Chris Byrd
04. Calvin Brock
05. Wladimir Klitschko
06. James Toney
07. Samuel Peter
08. John Ruiz
09. Oleg Maskaev
10. Luan Krasniqi
11. Nicolay Valuev
12. Sultan Ibragimov
13. Danny Williams
14. Larry Donald
15. Monte Barrett
I wouldn't have included Donald but a fairly good list. I would expect some changes in the next 6 months though due to some big fights coming up.
Valuev and Ruiz both go lower now... Byrd is probably gonna have to be moved down a notch soon, and you have to still keep Toney in at least the top 5 for now until he's really proven otherwise...

Thanks, your list makes sense. Though, can you explain to me why Peter is ahead of Ruiz?
