Ranking the Heavyweights

[The Hammer]

why do you have perez so high in the advent of his awful showing in his last fight?

He was doing well against Takam before the headbutt, and he's looked good in other fights.

[LacedUp]

it's a sad, sad world


what an awful top 10. how the mighty have fallen.


i'd provide some unput, but i just don't give enough of a ****.


i want to see a few guys fight each other. arreola, fury, wilder, chisora, are at least capable of being in some good fights. pulev is a decent fighter, but he's been in stinkers.

wladimir is a great fighter, but he hasn't been in an exciting fight in several years.

It truly truly is.

They don't want to fight each other. Each are waiting for a payday call from the klitschkos.

It's pathetic. It's already ripped of talent as it is, to make matters worse, they don't fight each other.

Why is Adamek on so many lists? He fought once last year against a nobody and before that, in 2012 fought Cunningham and should have lost, Fury blasted Cunningham away. If Adamek must be on there, surely he isn't a top 3 guy.

Perez shouldn't be on that list and Wilder is barely top 20 so far.

Adamek is not a top 5 guy anymore at all.

He should be somewhere around 7-10. Even though he beat Arreola, I think Arreola has proven over the last couple of years that he's progressed more to the extent where I'd consider him a healthy favourite should he fight Adamek again.

A better question would be why so many people have Solis on their list?

Adamek should be top 10 imo. I know he is faded and he blatantly ducked Pulev, but he does have wins over Arreola and (officially) Cunningham.

Solis is not top 10. I don't care how "skilled" he is, his best win is Ray Austin, and it was 3 years ago.

Oh, and Helenius is nowhere near the top 10 imo. His only claims to fame are a KO over a shotter than shot Lyakhovich, and a robbery of the year contender "win" over Chisora.

Agreed. Good post. Just because Adamek has the balls to actually fight good competition, he doesn't look as good as other's who fight competition much below them. Arreola shouldn't be near a top 10. Adamek? Hell yes. Can't forget he's tried to fight Haye, Solis and Povetkin and none of them would sign.
