[badblood]

posted especially for Bad Blood..................GET MAD!

The list is decent but I can not agree with having DaVarryl Williamson in the top 25 much less the top 15.

David Tua should have been put in the fringe list and not in the top 25.

The fighters in bold should not be in the top 25.

Donald, from what I've read, beat Valuev...that puts him in the Top 25.

Krasniqi was beating Brewster before he got clocked...so he deserves to be recognized.

Skelton has beaten Williams pretty easily in the rematch; and Williams beat Audley Harrison and hung tough while getting his ass kicked by Vitali. So, they're lower tier; but they're there.

Dominick Guinn I'm almost inclined to agree with; but he did beat Audley, barely lost to Liakhovich, who is now the #2...that counts for something. Though, I will admit his recent loss to Thompson almost made me pull him completely.

Wow, the Peter decision was "fair"? Wlad hasn't taken an easy night's work with Brock? Okay.

Sad to see Danny "Humdilla" Williams fall out of the top 25, but the Battle Bus will roll again one day.


Correction for the list, though - Scott Gammer should be listed as Wales, not England.

no offense but you shouldnt make a list if you dont pay attention to the heavyweights.

FYI krasniqi was oredered to fight tony thompson to determine the #1 ranked contender for the WBO title... krasniqi refused the fight for no apparent reason and then signed to fight a TBA in germany a month later... he has since pulled out of that fight with an injury......... he certainly doesent deserve to be ranked.

dominic guinn being listed implies that you didnt watch the thompson fight. but simply read the result. he was used and abused all over the ring, he didnt throw any punches, he gave up to the point where his trainer said after the fight that it was probably time for him to quit boxing.... thompson landed 6 times as many punches as guinn and finished with a 42 percent connect rate

i just dont get how tony thompson can completely whoop guinss ass in one of the most impressive performances of the year and yet thompson doesent even make your list (though he should be top-15) and you rank Guinn (a guy who will likely never fight again)

Aside from the Guinn listing, I stand by the rest. Krasiniqi does deserve to be listed as to the rest. The Thompson fight, I'll admit is news to me, so that was my bad; but easily rectified. I'll just remove Guinn from the top 25 and put Thompson in at 25.

K-Dogg didn't write this list.
