    Delboy took Scott's 0 and beat Kingpin and put him down in the process. Took the EBU title from Gerber, who's not special but at least on par with someone like Pianeta. Add to that he gave both Helenius, Fury, Vitali and Haye some tough fights leading up to that.

    He has a well deserved spot in the top ten.
    Takam should be well ahead of Arreola. What has he even done lately? He lost to Stiverne twice and beat an unproven Seth Mitchell. Takam just beat Thompson and should've gotten the decision over Perez as well.

      Arreola has challenged for the heavyweight title? He gave Stiverne a good fight.

      Takam beat TT? Wow, the guy is like 42 years old and 260 pounds of flab. He would need one or two wins to get into my top ten. His resume is atrocious I think.

        He atleast drawed Helenius..

        He did alright against VK..

        He was doing well against Haye until caught..

        He fought hard with Fury too, it's not fully conclusive.
        He clearly beat Helenius.

            What's the difference between Takam's resume and Jennings/Perez? His resume is better than Wilder's. Thompson is older but he would be the best win for a lot of guys in the division. Also, Takam should've gotten the decision over Perez. I don't see how Jennings, Perez or Wilder can be on the list but not Takam.

            What's Arreola's best win in the last 3 years? Best win ever?

              Challenged for the "heavyweight championship" LOL then put Chagaev in your top 10 and also Fres Oquendo LMAO.

              TT beat Solis who also "challenged for the heavyweight championship" and has faced WK for the real belt twice. Beat David Price twice too, a guy who all the british were hyping and now are trying to pretend they never had faith in him...

              Takam is top 10 if Perez is. TT > Mr. Magoo

              Ps: "gave a Stiverne a good fight". He lost, that's what matters at the end. Ray Austin also gave Stiverne a good fight but nobody cares.

                Jennings beat Szpilka, a good prospect. And Liakhovic. I don't think he would. Thompson gets a lot of credit for beating David Price, but other than that - he's really not done much.

                I didn't see the Perez fight, so can't really comment on that - but I from what I've seen of Takam, I think Perez and Jennings have impressed me more.

                OK 'A' heavyweight title then. Arreola still has a pretty good resume and has fought some good guys, and is a good fighter.

                Solis was a bum. I said this long before he fought VK and even TT. He simply is not dedicated enough, and it didn't surprise me one little bit that TT beat him.

                I'm not even sold on Perez being in the top 10 anyway. I don't know what the fuss is, just don't think Takam is either. If Perez is in, he's probably #10 for me.

                  Not a terrible list, but I have a couple of complaints:

                  1) Pov over Kobrata is debatable. Pov's best wins (Byrd and Chambers) were very long ago.

                  2) Jennings is way too high. I would rank him around #8-10.

                  3) Chambers shouldn't be there at all. His last significant fight was a loss to Adamek two years ago. I would replace him with either Takam or Glazkov.

                  4) Fury (as much as I hate his guts) is too low. He should be around #5.

                  5) Where is Chisora?

                    I know he's in the UK, I saw him at a fight card lol

                    but he is years past his best man, he's nothing but a glorified sparring partner now.

                    if this list was something to do with the division some 5-6 years ago, then you could possibly have him in a top 10

                      1) Klitschko

                      2) Bermane Stiverne

                      3) Kubrat Pulev

                      4) Dereck Chisora (only lost to Vitali and Haye in recent times, has been on a good streak lately. I think he'll beat Fury)

                      5)Audley Harrisson

                      6) Carlos Takam. (I think he could have got the decision against Mike Perez, he beat a still good Tony Thompson)

                      7) Povetkin

                      8) Deontay Wilder

                      9) Tyson Fury

                      10) Tony Thompson.
