Rank the HWs

I have heard the Maskaev fight is in negotiations and I have heard that unless something big happens, IE Oleg loses to Okhello the fight will come off in April

I believe Wlad when he says he wants to unify, and I think he has come out and really tried hard to prove himself to the fans by taking out undefeated guys and fighting consistantly

I agree with you on those statements. I hope he does meet and beat OM.

Wlad and boxing fans might not consider him a Great boxer....but you'd be hard pressed to find a guy that does not think he's a Great guy.

He's humble, respectful, gives to the less fortunante....I mean for all we know Wlad and Vitali could win the Nobel Peace Prize.

I know that has fuck all to do with boxing...I like the way Wlad boxes but the way he handles himself and cares about bigger things than himself really make him my favorite fighter

These always make for interesting discussions.. i'll have to do some homework..lets see...excel spread sheet major 4 rankings..hmm add ring magazine scores..adjust for recent losses..hhmm this looks like work!

hhm this is tougher than it looks!!!

1 Klitchko tall skilled smart all around good can be ko'd
2 Valuev record is good jury is still out till hes tested
3 toney beat rahman,peter,and ruiz in my view
4,5,6 rahman,maskaev,peter a toss up here
7 chagaev southpaw beat ruiz maybe the dark horse
8 byrd can beat most of the above except maybe first 2 and maybe not toney
9 Evander ok its a sentimental pick but long track record and good conditioning. i didnt see the fight against fres. if it was like the donald fight put a big line thru evanders name with a fat jiffy marker and forget i said it!

Unify my a**! C'mon man, even middleweights are calling out Maskaev now that he has the title. He's the most vulnerable champ in the HW didvision in years. I didn't hear him calling out the other champs but I heard them call his name.
