    Ranking the Heavyweights

    I did the light middles so lets look at the heavies:

    1. Wlad
    2. Povetkin
    3. Stiverne
    4. Pulev
    5. Fury
    6. Chisora
    7. Arreola
    8. Jennings
    9. Solis
    10. Helenius

    the last 2 just about hang in there cos I just don't think the likes of Chagaev, Adamek, Wilder, Mitchell, Banks, Price and co are worthy of a top 10 finish.

    What do you guys think?

    Switch Povetkin with Pulev.

        Pulev should be higher, Chisora should be lower, helenius and solis shouldn't be on there. Adamek is missing. Other than, not too much to disagree with.

          Seeing Povetkin at number 2 reminds me the sad state the heavyweights are in. Too bad because it has always been my favorite division.

            Why is Stiverne ranked that hight? Solis is the most skilled heavyweight out there by far, Adamek should be in there, Helenius hasnd looked good for years now, Povetkin was fighting dead bodies since Huck, Fury could be great if he wasnt such an idiot. Chisora needs to fight someone with a pulse (and not get rocked like he did in his last two fights agains low level opposition). Jennings over Arreola after his last fight imo.

              1. Wlad
              2. Pulev
              3. Fury
              4. Stiverne
              5. Arreola
              6. Povetkin
              7. Adamek
              8. Chisora
              9. Solis
              10. Thompson

              Jennings still doesn't have the resume for it, needs another top 20ish win. Helenius and Chagaev have the resume, but haven't fought anyone top 30ish for awhile and age injuries etc leave too many questions about proper current ranking. I'd put Wilder, Wach, Hammer, and Charr in the next level down with Jennings, cusp people who a win over another top 20 level guy could be elevated into the top 10.

                I was going to but then I saw no reason, Povetkin reigned as WBA "champ" and has a loss to Wlad, I see no reason why Pulev should be ranked higher.

                Yeah Fury is an odd case, if only the Haye fight had come through, win or lose we would have known more about him. Right now I've no idea just how good he is or can be.

                Adamek above Chisora? Why?

                Thompson on there? No

                I like your ranking of the top 6, they are pretty much the main guys in the division.

                  Get ready to put Haye back on that list.

                    Bigs up Solis, says Chisora should fight someone with a pulse.
