My current Heavyweight Top 10

[tremendous]

10. Monte Barrett (skilled, true fighter when focussed)
9. Vitali Klitschko (in my opinion, one of the most overrated boxers ever)
8. David Tua (hope he fights more often, he is real good I believe)
7. Samuel Peter (not experienced yet, but will be successful I think)
6. James Toney (difficult to judge because of his use of steroids)
5. Chris Byrd (If only he punched a little harder)
4. Hasim Rahman (a lot more than a one-hit-wonder)
3. John Ruiz (Very underrated in my honest view)
2. Lamon Brewster (Not only since he beat up Golota)
1. Mike Tyson (You may doubt he is the best, you shall see soon)

LOL ! No ...

I think if you read the list backwards (from #10 to #1) then it's actually not so bad...at least better than it is the right way around .

Just kidding around, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Thanks for your response and the respectful choice of words.

No problem, I just disgree with the placements of Ruiz and Klischko, plus I don't have as much faith in Rahman as most people seem to.

So much comes down to your opinion of Vitali. Obviously people disagree over him a lot.

[guru]

i respect his opinion, but how much credibility can you lend to him when he puts a guy who was KO'd in his last 2 fights at #1??? i could maybe understand putting him in the the top 10, but #1???


yodaism - serious this list is not

Vitali is Top 5; Tyson currently is not. I'm one of Vitali's biggest critics on this board, and even I can recognize that...

He was koed in 2 of his last three fights: against Williams, in which his knee was seriously injured and against Lewis. He beat Etienne in 2003.
In my view Tyson has a lot more potential.

It's hard to rank based on "potential", though. A lot of posters aren't going to be as nice as these on page one have been. There's a lot of rabid Klitschko fans on the board that will probably be a tad rude to you on this thread.
