Ring Magazine Latest Heavyweight Rankings (post Arreola-Adamek)

[Jim Jeffries]

Nah, its fine Wlad is the HW champ, Vitali is #1, and Haye is #2 because he does have a belt.

So Jan Zaveck should be ahead of Mayweather, Cotto, Collazo, Clottey, etc at WW?

FTR I'm okay with Haye being at least top 5 now that he beat Ruiz. It was kinda absurd to be top 3 before that.

[The Hammer]

Carl Froch is no longer in the super middleweight rankings, they have Mikkel Kessler as both #3 and #4:

What else can be said? Kezzers is an omnipotent champion! He's so good he needs to occupy 2 ranks.

Arreola should be on Dimitrenko's position, Dimitrenko out of there, and Peter in.

And at the Kessler thing.

Personally I'd rearrange it a bit. Ring are really harsh on fighters who lose and often drop them below guys who didn't even do anything just because. To me a fighter losing a fight like Arreola-Adamek only says that Arreola is not as good as Adamek - not that he's not as good as Valuev, Dimitrenko, Chagaev and Boystov too.

My top ten would look like this:

1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Vitali Klitschko
3. Alexander Povetkin
4. Tomasz Adamek
5. David Haye
6. Chris Arreola
7. Eddie Chambers
8. Ruslan Chagaev
9. Denis Boytsov
10. Samuel Peter

...which to me doesn't look an altogether weak division anymore. Well, there are plenty good fights to be made anyway.

I dont like Arreolla at 10. Hes a Top 5 my Heavy in my eyes.

well he has lost 2 of his last 3 fights

I would like to see Boytsov vs Peter...

[Pirao]

I would like to see Boytsov vs Peter...

Boytsov should really start improving his level of competition. Oh, and he should fight more often, he hasn't fought in 5 months.

[Alec900]

what I don't understand in Ring rankings is why is David Lopez ranked 8th at middleweight

[Alec900]

Boytsov should really start improving his level of competition. Oh, and he should fight more often, he hasn't fought in 5 months.

agreed,don't want him to waste his potential
