Top Ten Heavyweight Contenders

[dmaclv]

Yeah I would agree. I think Gomez gets sold short.

Ibragimov went life and death with the incredible Ray Austin and got his ears boxed off by Wlad yet he merits so high a rating.

I don't know. This division is so weak it's hard to put a good top 10 together, but I suppose Wlad Owns is as good as any.

After the champs it's anybody's game really. Dimentrinko is too high on people's lists and so is Haye at this point.

Haye and Dimitrenko are too high? Don't think many other contenders out there like Povetkin and Gomez should be rated above them. C'mon now Dimitrenko might have a suspect chin buh he's won all his fights by pretty wide margins, and Haye hasn't had many fights buh after the four he's had I can legitimately say dude should at least be in top 5. Also I was talkin bout non-champions/champions in recess so that's why Chagaev ain't on my list.

why do people rate dimentrenko over povetkin...?

Because they haven't seen enough of them to know.

I've seen almost all of Povetkin's fights, and several of Dimitrenko's. Believe me, Povetkin is better. Never mind the fight where he defeated Eddie Chambers despite having the flu - he's usually somewhat faster and better coordinated than that. People think Dimitrenko is the next Klitschko because he's big and strong, but he doesn't have 1) the ring smarts, killer instinct and relentlessness of Vitali, nor 2) the skill and power of Wlad.

Dimitrenko has better inside game than Wlad, better body work than both Wlad and Vitali, and an incredible stamina for his size. He's got his flaws but he's only 26, he'll get better within a year or two. He's also constantly improving, he'll be a champ soon.

Povetkin is nowhere near that, he's good but Dimitrenko beats him 9 out of 10 times.

I'm wit ya on that, Povetkin don't hav wat Dimitrenko has. Dimitrenko thou has a suspect chin which I think could be his final downfall, Povetkin fer sure won't beat any title holder when he gets his shot. Dimitrenko has a much better chance.
