Here are The Most Dangerous

1. Sam Peter: His boxing has improved, he has loads of power and a good chin. Tough for ANYONE

2. Vitali Klitschko: He is #2 because of ring rust but he's still a young-ish heavyweight and pretty friggin tough to fight.

3./4. Ruslan Chagaev/Sultan Ibragimov: Slick fighters and southpaws with power!

5. Calvin Brock: Good average fighter with decent power. He's young, he's tough, and he has heart.

6. Sergie Lyakhovich: solid fighter on his way back from injury. No power but he's a solid fighter.

7. Lamon Brewster: old warhorse, he's tough he's fending off injury but he might have ring rust on him.

8. Eddie Chambers: tremendously gifted boxer, he doesn't have much power, but he's slick, he's just not big enough to overwhelm anyone.

9. John Ruiz: he's old, fat, boring, and he's still up here....he's just tough to beat (on the scorecards that is)

10. Alexander Povetkin: Sure he hasn't even had 15 fights yet but he's a BEAST. He's a good boxer with good power and he puts his punches together very well.

11. Corrie Sanders: He slips a bit because of the long layoff but he is still DEADLY with that left hand!!!

12. The old guard: Rahman, Toney, Holyfield: Old warriors can really get up for title fights....never ever look past them


Here's my top 5...(current guys)

1. Wladimir Klitschko....may have a questionable chin still but his defense and offense may not allow anyone to ever get there again.

2. Samuel Peter....this kid punches like a mule kicks and is getting down with some not-too-shabby ring skills these days. I look for him to claim a world title very soon.

3. Nicolai Valuev....dude is humongous. i'm sorry but he's gonna be trouble for anyone out there right now based on his sheer size alone. god help them if he learns how to box and move.

4. Oleg Maskeav....one thing you can be sure is he isn't gonna fold or give up. the guy is in it for the long haul and he doesn't stop working. a really tough customer. just ask hasim rahman.

5. Vitali Klitschko....teach a guy this big to box and he's gonna cause problems and fuck more than a few people up. it doesnt help the opposition that this guy and his brother can think too. I see V.K. as a major player in the heavyweight division despite his retirement and layoff.
