What do you mean p4p? Its not p4p if its just one weight catagory.

3

Maybe he meant “by the pound” then I would have had Toney higher…either way I just wanted to get my 200th post in!

4

The Heavyweights ‘Pound for pound’ ratings go:

1: Chris Byrd
2: Who cares, Chris walks it :wink:

5

Well coming from the man who didn’t consider Frank Bruno to be even in the top 100 p4p in the 80’s I’m not sure whether you re joking or not :stuck_out_tongue:

6

A pretty big catagorie though isn’t it :wink:

7

LOL [click] :wink:

8

As far as “top ten current HW’s”

  1. Wlad: got plenty ?'s but the best and most complete
  2. Toney: I hate to put this guy in here but if he shows up under 220 he can give any HW in the div a tough fight
  3. Rahman: a good fighter who is woefully inconsistent
  4. Liakovich: awesome heart with good fundamentals but gets hit too often
  5. Brock: Looked good in his fights but needs to step it up in competition
  6. Peter: Needs to get some boxing skills not every fight is going to be a slugfest.
  7. Brewster: Great chin, great power and always shows up to fight. Defense sucks
  8. Valuev: Sheer size and the fact you have to fight the guy in Germany wins him fights
  9. Tua: I know I’ll get some SC for this one but the guy is the sinlge most dangerous puncher still in the division and can’t be KO’d
  10. Briggs: lets see something other than club fighters.
11

Tua is a coulda/shoulda/woulda…no need for a SC though. Everyone has a valid point (well, atleast most).

12

I’m a Tua fan. I think is nickname stinks on hot ice. David “Tuaman” Tua has to be the worst one out there. I always hoped for a Tua/Tyson fight.

I thought Lennox couldn’t have been more cowardly than when he fought Tua. Maybe it wasn’t that he was a coward, but he could have tried harder to hurt Tua. It looked like a big brother holding his little brother back with a hand on the forehead while he swings away wildly.

13

Well well well. Looks like we need some cynics to come in and shake things up a bit.

Now, and forsome controversy, I think I’ll put Nikolay oin at no 1, both to annoy all the Klitschko circle-jerkers, and that I think that doing all your training fo throwing punches, while kneeling down to replicate the fight might affect a guy’s training in the run-up to the fight.
So:

  1. Nikolay Valuev
  2. Wladimir Klitshko
  3. Hasim Rahman
  4. Liakhovich
  5. Briggs (partially so i can increase, in my mind) the importance of the previously mentinoed fight between Klitschko and Briggs.)
  6. Toney
  7. Danny Williams (yup, he’s fat, he’s round, he’ll beat you pound-for-pound, he’s danny wwww, he’s danny w)
  8. Maskaev
  9. Peter
  10. Matt Skelton

I am fully expecting some sc’s for sending the usual waves into disarray, but i need some entertainment before the Brock-Ibragimov fight gets under way. The winner of which will likely snatch one of the coveted ‘superheavyrhun’ top 10 places.

14

Well Tommy Morrison is definitely the most dangerous fighter out there, I sure as hell would’nt want to get in the ring with him

15

I wouldn’t want him to bleed on me. LOL.

16

LOL

Oh, that Ray Mercer fight…precious memories.

17

its called boxing.

18

Exactly Adam. Have a CC. Who cares if Lewis didn’t try to KO Tua. He made Tua look so baaad in that fight I forgot why anyone ever thought he would be champ some day. In fact watching him get so outoxed that I decided that night Tua would never be champ and six years later he hasn’t won even the WBO title.

19

I guess after fighting back-to-back pushovers like Michael Grant and Frans Botha, I would be leary of Tua and keep my jab extended all night as well.

20

I guess know that statement was meant as a light hearted throw away remark, but…

In the 21st century, in the developed world there probably is no physical reason as to why a fighter who is HIV+ should not be allowed to box.

Yes there would have to be rule changes to take into account either fighter getting cut. But the actual chances of becoming HIV+ in these controlled circumstances would be minimal.

The real reason it probably could not happen is the extra insurance costs for each fighter.

I guess what I am trying to say is that sadly there are far more easier ways to die because of boxing.

Time to get off my :soapbox:

Box on :wink:
