Updating the BOXREC Forum Heavyweight Rankings CLOSED

Stiverne too low? I think I can name boxers that aren't even in the top 100 that can beat him.

No, you can't for one. And for two, you're basing ranking on opinion.

Stiverne IS too low. Not sure how anyone can justify having Andy Ruiz above him as he hasn't beaten anyone yet.

Hubeaux? Nofire? Bogdan? Spong? I rate them higher. And who has Stiverne himself beaten actually? Arreola is the only one and Arreola isn't any good any more.

You still haven't said who Andy Ruiz has beaten to be ranked above Stiverne. Also, Whyte and Chisora above Stiverne is an automatic travesty. Chisora is shot and Whyte is on the level of a shot Chisora. Whyte is pretty awful.

I'm no fan of Stiverne, but he's a level above Whyte. I think he'd knock out Whyte. Whyte was getting wobbled by Chisora. Stiverne probably bombs him out.

Ruiz was competative against Parker, so on the level of Takam. Stiverne was competative against Derric Rossy, who has lost by significant biggest numbers against Trevor Bryan. So Stiverne should be ranked 30 ish.

Let that fight happen! I expect Whyte to win.

1. Haye (from a British perspective, he's done Chisora and would again and he would wipe the floor with Whyte)
2. Hammer.

Christian Hammer - 10 votes
David Haye - 9 votes
Johann Duhaupas - 5 votes
Artur Szpilka - 4 votes

Hughie Fury - 1 vote

Both Hammer and Haye received 6 #1 votes, but on a head-to-head basis, Hammer was preferred over Haye by 6 votes to 5 as well as having one more vote in total. As such, Christian Hammer enters the rankings at #14 and David Haye enters at #15:

Champion: VACANT
1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Alexander Povetkin
3. Deontay Wilder
4. Anthony Joshua
5. Luis Ortiz

14. Christian Hammer
15. David Haye

1. Haye (from a British perspective, he's done Chisora and would again and he would wipe the floor with Whyte)

You assume he would, but Haye's done nothing worth anything in 4.5 years.

He doesn't deserve top be in the top 15.

Behave yourself Horse.
I don't even believe you believe Chisora would beat Haye.

Put your hate away for a second

Why does everyone worship Haye?

Because he has nice muscles and a lot of power, just like Joshua.

Undisputed cruiserweight champion, the last one to step up and win a heavyweight title in the era of superheavies.

He's a good fighter, simple as that

Your man Bellew, who consistently ranks too high on your top 30 list, how many rounds do you think he lasts against Haye? Seriously if he makes it past 6 i'll eat my own legs

So what?

That doesn't mean that he is still any good now.

Was.

Who cares if Haye can beat Bellew?

Hardly an impressive achievement at heavyweight.

Haye's done nothing to prove that he is a top 15 level heavyweight since he beat Chisora 4.5 years ago and that's hardly an incredible win anyway.

All depends on how you choose to rank. Objectively or Subjectively.

Haye probably beats Parker, Ruiz, Whyte, Chisora, Stiverne, Glazkov, Takam in my opinion and would think the bookies would have him favourite in those, toughest would be Parker. Pulev v Haye is pretty 50-50 I think.

I think when Haye had his inactivity and now has had only two fights there are question marks but if you make the case that Haye has not beaten any decent fighters recently, then how do you put Chisora in? His last decent win was a long time ago and he has a loss to Haye. Does anyone really think if they fought again Chisora would win?

The top 7 or so Heavyweights are all about the same in all the rankings, but there is a real weakness from 10 downwards.

The back up stats for the heavyweights outside the top 10 are terrible, most have resumes that include fighters like the recent Haye opponents.

Except for Glazkov and Stiverne, I'd be surprised if he would win actually nowadays.

I think this is very true, but I personally choose to rank boxers based on what they have done, rather than what they can do. For me, Haye barely makes top 50 based on his recent record, but taking into account his activity before his hiatus, I'd squeeze him inside the top 20, just not the top 15.
