Boxrec rankings have Vitali as #1 HW

[-Swizzy-]

Do you agree with these rankings?

I think they take only the last 365days into consideration so basically its like this:

Vitali: Sam Peter, Juan Carlos Gomez
Wlad: Hasim Rahman, Tony Thompson


personally, I agree with those rankings. Vitali has fought the better opposition as of late.

yea vitali is much better .. he was better when he retired too

Boxrec rankings are usually not the best.

Wladimir should be number 1.

Wladimir and he'd win in a fight if they were to ever fight...

no way man. Vitali would punish Wlad. Wlad wouldn't have the balls to try and land a big shot on Vitali. Vitali would KO Wlad for sure, even now.

Wladimir.

He has done more in his career and during the past three years (six successful title defenses) so he should be #1.

However, Vitali closed the gap with his stoppage of Gomez, so it's close.

Wladimir keeps Vitali on the end of his jab and right hand all night. Vitali has never delt with that type of jab before and him at 37 doesn't have the speed to bull rush him. It's a shame Wlad doesn't show that killer instinct (anymore) because then I'd be even surer. Still Wlad's cautious style would keep vitali at bay.

Wladimir on cuts stoppage. Vitali hasn't faced that good of a boxer, besides past his prime/out of shape Lewis (who he lost to)

[Welter_Skelter]

Peter=Rahman Thompson=Gomez.. I see no difference

The British Boxing Monthly mag has David Gaye at #4.
