1. Wladimir Klitschko - IBF/WBO/IBO Unified Heavyweight champ...He stays at #1 because he has accomplished more than Vitali.
2. Vitali Klitschko - WBC Heavyweight Champ....Came back after 4 year layoff and destroyed former champ Samuel Peter and legit top 10 HW/former cruiserweight champ Juan Carlos Gomez.
3. Alexander Povetkin - 2004 olympic gold medalist, undefeated, has impressive wins over Eddie Chambers, Chris Byrd, Larry Donald, etc.
4. Ruslan Chagaev - WBA heavyweight champ, Undefeated tough technically sound southpaw, he is the only man to clearly beat Valuev, also has wins over John Ruiz, Matt Skelton, Vlaidmir Virchis, etc.
5. Alexander Dimitrenko - arguably the best prospect in the heavyweight division, 26 years old, 6'7 250 lb beast, he has the skills, heart and 1 punch KO power.
6. Sultan Ibragimov - former WBO heavyeight champ, tough slick southpaw with fast hands and good power.
7. Nikolai Valuev - You can't teach size, the 7 foot freakshow can give anyone problems with his size, strength, iron chin and improving jab.
8. Juan Carlos Gomez - fomer undisputed cruiserweight champion, he showed a lot of heart and toughness in his KO loss to Vitali, deserves to stay in the top 10.
9. Eddie Chambers - Fast hands, good defense, technically sound, his win over Peter puts him in the top 10.
10. David Haye - former cruiserweight champ, still unproven at heavyweight.
