Top 10 Heavyweights after Saturday Fights

[The Fix]

1. vitali..... champ till someone beats him
2. rahman.....looked great and in-shape.
3. byrd......has heart, got off the canvas and beat his mandatory
4. ruiz...... cancer of the division but finds a way to win
5. toney.... who else is there that deserves this spot? i cant give it to golota because he lost two consecutive albeit in some people eyes he was robbed.If kirk johnson could ge into shape i would give it to him because he has size,speed,and talent but he is throwing it away when he comes in fat.

He didn't throw anywhere near enough jabs though.

I doubt that would have helped. I think he needed to take all risks and go for a knockout in the last few rounds. He was too cautious, perhaps thinking that he was winning the fight. If only he knew what referees had for him, he would just go for a straight shoot-out with Hugger.

Exactly he was too cautious, and you see where it got him. Never trust the judges. They can come up with anything especially when Don King is involved.

Jirov should definitely be there.

I don't think Jirov should be ranked until he beats a heavyweight.

Well, if he had a chance to go for the 11th round with Mesi, he would have him out. If not for the injury, Mesi would be in top 3 right now, so it makes Jirov a top 10 figther, IMO.

Mesi has a horrible stamina problem like Corrie Sanders even though Mesi looks like he is shape, and Mesi still managed to outland Jirov in the 9th round. And Moorer is a horrible fight for him at this point in time too. Moorer is beyond finished just like Holyfield.

Jirov has a light frame, which will always be an advantage in later rounds against heavy-framed fighters. His only chance of winning against good heavy-framed boxers (Mesi is both a very good boxer and puncher) is to take it to the later rounds where he will have stamina advantage and go for a KO.

I think Moorer is a horrible fight to take now, but I doubt that the other top 10-15 rated guys rush to pick a fight with Jirov. Jirov is a an extremely tough fight. Moorer is a former undisputed champ, so winning over an in-shape Moorer will be good for ratings. The only problem is that an in-shape Moorer could be as dangerous as anyone.

1. Vitali- currently unbeatable.
2. Hassim Rahman- Only man with a chance at beating Vitali.
3. Up for grabs Wlad dominated McCline and Byrd but lost to Brewster. How do you rate this? Toney beat Booker and an ancient Holyfield that means **** any top 50 heavyweight can do that. This is really starting to look pathetic, its all about waiting to see who can do what in their next fights last night proved nada, except Rahman is back.
