If such a fight was to be set up surely Harrison v Williams would have to be the obvious - Sorry, bit cruel I know but you have to have a combination of skills, fitness and attitude to win, or altitude in Williams case LOL .

Lawrence Clay Bey = #1 Contender.

Not correct, Clay-Bey has to fight Kirk Johnson for the number one spot.

Dominick Guinn is in the #3 spot then.

Press release from Goofi Whittikar over on fightnews saying his disgust about how he is not ranked in the top 5.

Lack of desire could be posted to most heavyweights at the moment. Poor poor division.

And apparentley in the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross show filmed last night, an emotional Hasim Rahman broke down in tears and stated that despite his recent form he's eager to reclaim his title and once he's eeked past Maskaev he's hopes to emerge as a leading contender.

Its a talented pool, leading some to say it may even be deeper than the Weaver-Witherspoon-Tate generation, often referred to as the golden age.

Tony Tubbs has thrown his jerri curl comb into the ring, stating:
"I may be old, but I was under performing before most of these pre-tenders were out of nappies.."

"Just look at my physique for Christ sake! Despite world class skills and dazzling hand speed I never really put it all together; except maybe the time I bashed up Bowe and they robbed me."

"They give awaty titles with boxes of frosties these days. If any of these suckers thinks they can underwhelm me, tell em to bring it!"

Henry Akinwande has also made a statement he is very tired of fighting the likes of Mr TBC and Mr TBA and Mr A Bum for the IBA Penta inter farting championship and now wants to fight for the big title.

I think George Foreman might be starting a tournament.

Didn't Tony Tubbs win the vacant title when he was knocked out Lionel Butler?
