How do you rank the Heavyweights?

[RichCCFC]

Ranks these guys in order from best to worse; Wladimir Klitschko, Ruslan Chagaev, Samuel Peter, Sultan Ibragimov, Alexander Povetkin, David Haye, Nikolai Valuev, John Ruiz, Andrew Golota and Eddie Chambers.

David Haye?

[-Swizzy-]

in what sense? accomplishments or skill? cuz I would put haye last on that list as far as accomplishments go but probably 3rd based on skill and abilities.

2.Povetkin
3.Valuev

Gomez
Virchis
Arreola
Ruiz
Thompson
Peter
Dimitrenko
Haye
Chambers
Golota

Chagaev is injured, Vitali is a question mark after four years of inactivity, Sultan has retired

The last ten are all good but difficult to rank since they've never fought each other. I don't think Golota would beat anyone on the list, however.

The real weakness of the heavyweight division is that these guys rarely fight each other. I'd like to see all sanctioning organizations have four-fighter eliminators, like the IBF did last year.

Wladimir Klitschko
Ruslan Chagaev
Nikolai Valuev
Samuel Peter
Alexander Povetkin
Sultan Ibragimov
John Ruiz
Andrew Golota
Eddie Chambers

Haye's off of the list for the moment, as I need to see him in a more relevant heavyweight fight than the two or three tune-ups he's had so far in his career.

On Chambers, I'd pick him to beat Golota and possibly even Ruiz at this stage, but tend to avoid ranking fighters based on potential. Otherwise I'd have Povetkin higher on the list than is presently the case.

Haye's only had one fight at heavyweight so far.
