New Top 10 Heavyweight lists!

[SacTown1]

Where does Samuel Peter fit into your top 10 list, following his KO victory last Saturday? Do any of the title holders drop/rise based on the recent non-negotiations for future matchups? Here's my newly revised top 10 list, feel free 2 pick it apart, add/subtract, etc....

CHAMP: Klitschko (has the Ring belt, so technically we still gotta call him "champ" until he finds his spine...er...until his back heals)

1. Brewster (KO wins vs. Vlad & Golota vault him into the #1 spot IMO, nobody's more deserving of a shot at the linear title)

2. Toney (wins vs. an old Evander and a boring Ruiz put Lights out in my #2 slot, maybe the most complete fighter at heavyweight)

3. Rahman (still the best right hand puncher in the division, although Sam Peter may have something 2 say about that)

4. Peter (our only up-&-comer in the division, maybe 1 year away from fighting the elite competition)

5. Byrd (has become stagnant ever since claiming the IBF strap, has no legit W's since that time, struggled vs. B- fighters such as Oquendo, Golota, and McCline, but still the slickest boxer at heavyweight)

6. Ruiz (the worst fighter to ever defend the crown, yet he won't go away!)

7. Brock (decent prospect, but can he hang in there vs. a KO puncher? I highly doubt it....)

8. Barrett ("the gatekeeper" is always 1 punch away from a W, but doesn't have the best beard... matchup vs. The Rock should be exciting)

9. Vlad K (still has more natural ability than anybody out there, but NO CHIN will haunt him forever)

10. Touch of Sleep (we'll call him gatekeeper #2, not great at anything, but pretty good at everything)


what's your list???

Thats not a bad list but I think your putting Peter to high right now, he hasnt really fought the best right now but he will be in a while. Id put Vacant Champ until the belts are unified and as of the rest of the list Id just have Vitali, Brewster, Byrd and Toney with no solid order.

I like the list but Brock should be higher than McCline IMO..

Brock easily beat McCline and if it went 12 I think he could've knocked him out or stopped him...

If Byrd vs McCline was a 10 roudner Byrd would have lost...btw the fight was very controversial anyways..

[guru]

i dont see how you can rate peter that high, he hasnt fought ANYONE yet... i'd say that he hasnt even fought a top 20 opponent...

McCline isn't on the list homey, better clean those contacts off

Mike Tyson hadn't fought anybody good until his 1st title shot either, that's very common with prospects, so we can't hold that against Peter or his team because he hasn't been granted a title shot just yet....everyone else on my list aside from Brock has had a title shot

[guru]

he could fight some other contenders though... and at some point he's gonna have to step up the comp.

List seems to be straight with the exception of Peter. I am just not seeing it. With his wide open punches and plodding along footwork, I cant see him being that high on the list. Although one thing I must say is that with the state of the division now, anything is possible. The heavyweight division is horrible!!!

exactly, the division is wide open, which is why I think Peter could easily claim a belt within the next year, and even though he doesn't have great technique, there's no question about his KO power, so I feel he's at least a top 5 guy because of his big right hand

what's your list???

i agree with the ten but peter should be below Barrett who has been in with much better comp. bryd should be a little higher, he is the longest raining champ we have right now. other than that the list looks good.
