    • Mitch Green-Nothing
    • Trevor Berbick-Fringe contender
    • James Smith-Fringe contender, maybe slightly better
    • Pinklon Thomas-Contender, top 10-15
    • Tyrell Biggs-Gatekeeper
    • Frank Bruno-Contender, probably top 5, maybe top 3
    • Henry Tillman-Gatekeeper
    • Razor Ruddock-Contender, top 10, probably top 5
    • Tony Tucker-Contender, top 7-15
    • Tony Tubbs-Contender, top 10-15
    Listed my opinions above. I think Razor would be very good and right in the thick with these guys and I think Bruno would matchup extremely well with this current crop. I would LOVE to see AJ vs Prime Bruno. Not out of the realm of possibility in my mind that a prime Bruno is the #1 guy in the division right now

        I am pretty much in line with BigZ44 with Razor and Bruno as the best of that lot and likely in today's top 10 if not higher. I think BoneCrusher would also be in the top 10 but understand if folks disagree.

        I think Carl Williams and Michael Spinks also would be top 10 today, especially Spinks.

        And before folks try to drag me for Spinks, just remember that some of you are sure Usyk would beat AJ...and Michael would tear Usyk a new one.

          I started to include Spinks but that was a win Tyson got a lot of credit for. I tried to include his wins that he doesn't get much credit for. Probably could've added Williams tho

            Ruddock, Bruno and Tony Tucker would definetly be top 10 heavyweights today, maybe even top 5


            Tucker would give AJ and Windmiller plenty of problems, he was huge, could box and had a granite chin, in his prime he only lost to Tyson by decission...too bad he couldnt stay away from drugs back in the day, dude was an underachiever

              Agreed Michael would destroy Usyk.

                  I'm sure most here believe that spinks would beat the breaks off of anyone at hw

                    I ain't going through all these mfers, but Bruno vs Joshua would be fun & I don't hate Bruno's chances there either.

                    Razor would probably be a bad mfer.

                    Mitch Green woulda gotta his face punched in at some Alabama nightclub by Deontay.
