Who is the best heavyweight not named Klitschko?

[Walt Liquor]

I am from France.

Do you watch a lot of boxing? did you happen to catch the povetkin chambers fight? what about brester liaykovich? aerreola walker?

[Derranged_]

Eddie Chambers, but I'm hearing a lot of good things about this Boytsov guy.

Boytsov is a decent fighter who's improving with every successive fight; he's a contender to keep an eye on in years to come. However, I hope his promoters don't "shelve" him too long (like Universum did w/ Dimitrenko); he needs to be fighting frequently and against better opposition...

What a nonsense poll including evander in the lists of bums?

What a nonsense poll including evander in the lists of bums?

Evander is still a good fighter. A lot of people thought he beat Valuev, I thought it was a close fight.

If Haye clearly loses to Valuev, which is a real possibility, doesn't that mean Holyfield is still better than the Gayemaker?

Holyfield is still > Haye, even at age 46.

This may be the toughest poll question I've ever seen. They're all just about equally terrible. Can't be Ruiz or Valuev because they fight each other so close there's not much separation. Can't be Haye because we haven't actually seen him do anything at heavyweight. Can't be Chambers because he lost to Povetkin. Wow, it might be Povetkin. If it's Arreola, this is just sad. I would go Povetkin, but I'm not sure why.

IMO it's Chambers. I think he beats Valuev, Haye, Brewster, John Ruiz, Povetkin in a rematch, etc. The only boxers I don't favor him against is the Klitschko Brothers, and I still give him a good shot at beating them. Actually I would favor Chambers beating Vitali, but not Wlad though.

What has Povetkin doing this year compared to Chambers? Not really much, so you can make a case that Chambers is higher than Povetkin in the rankings, and there is no doubt that in mind he would beat Povetkin in a rematch.

LOL at the dumbass nuthuggers who voted for Hypejob Haye. He hasn't done jack **** at heavyweight.

Alexander Povetkin (17-0, 12 KO) is the best heavyweight not named Klitschko. He has a very impressive resume:

legendary amatuer career, best amatuer super heavyweight of all time.

2004 olympic gold medal

- Beat the **** out of the best American heavyweight Eddie Chambers. I scored it 9-3 for Povetkin.

- Dominated and TKO'd former 2 time heavyweight champion Chris Byrd

- Dominant shutout 100-90 over Larry Donald (who was coming off a controversial fight with Nikolai Valuev, I thought Donald won the fight and got robbed).

- Beat the **** out of the talented 2004 Olympian Jason Estrada. He had Estrada badly hurt and almost KO'd him in the 10th, Estrada is lucky it was only 10 round fight, if it was a 12 round fight he would've been KTFO in the 11th by Povetkin.

Povetkin has already accomplished a lot in only 17 pro fights.

Povetkin doesn't come close to havin the power that Haye has so dog, i.e. little chance he'll KO Wlad.

Povetkin, Valeuv and Dimitrenko.
