Top 15 Heavyweights – April 29, 2014 The heavyweight division sucks. That’s the current narrative, anyway. In fact, throughout the years, that’s often been the narrative. The common consensus throughout most heavyweight eras is that one or two great fighters are dominating an otherwise weak division. Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Larry Holmes, and Mike Tyson… Read More Top 15 Heavyweights – April 29, 2014
This one isn’t a repost as much as a discovery. Earlier today, I was in my basement, pouring through boxes, doing some cleaning. I had just moved a month ago, and unpacking has been slow. In one of the boxes I found a folded up piece of paper. The paper contained my own heavyweight ranking,… Read More Historical Heavyweight Ranking – August 2011

Chris Byrd’s attempt at rejuvenating his career by dropping two weight classes met with failure Friday night in Las Vegas. Shaun George proved to be too steep a challenge for the former two-time heavyweight titlist. The… Read More Repost – Blogger – May 17, 2008 – Shaun George stops Chris Byrd in 9
Reposted from Blogger Top Ten Heavyweights, 12/29/07 – December 29, 2007 I haven’t done a top ten list in a few months. However, not much has changed in the heavyweight division, especially in the top 5. Wlad is still number 1, but hasn’t fought since July. Maskaev and Peter have yet to get it on. A lot… Read More Repost – Blogger – December 29, 2007 – Top Ten Heavyweights, 12/29/07

Wladimir Klitschko – Four of his last five victories have been over Ring-ranked top ten opponents. His recent domination of Lamon Brewster added to this impressive streak. Wlad is clearly head and shoulders above the rest of the division. (Ranked #1 on 04/27 list) 2.)… Read More Repost – Blogger – July 23, 2007 – Top Ten Heavyweights as of 07/18/2007
Reposted from Blogger Top Ten Heavyweights as of 04/27/07 – April 27, 2007 1.) Wladimir Klitschko (IBF Champion) – With none of the other titleholders available, Wlad decided to take the toughest possible fight in Lamon Brewster. Brewster may be rusty, but he’s still relatively young (for a heavy), hits like he has bricks in his gloves, and… Read More Repost – Blogger – February 27, 2007 – Top Ten Heavyweights as of 04/27/07
