Inside your top 100? If you don't have a top 100, do you think they'd make it?
Andre Golota
Lamon Brewster
Oliver McCall
Henry Akiwande
Why, and why not for each.

Brewster and Akinwande definitely not, Golota and McCall maybe. Don't have time to write reasons now, I'm sure someone else will agree with me and oblige. Golota's h2h ability is def top hundred.

Brewster's dual wins over Golota and Wlad don't see him into a top 100 list?

Well.............
Golota whipped Chicken Bowe twice.....
Akinwande was a pudding, so probably not.....
McCall certainly.... stoppage win over Lewis, would take a Boeing 747 the distance......
Brewster open to debate....

Akiwande's underrated to some degree. Sad that how he's remembered is having a nervous breakdown in the moment of the Lennox fight.

Golota comes nowhere near the top anything. He didn't whip Bowe twice, he came out of both fights with an L on his record. Sure he was faster, stronger, and landed more punches, but that's just it: He did all those things and STILL lost. TWICE. He always found a way to lose. He was the master at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yeah, that speaks of his mental stability, not his ability.

Yes on Brewster and McCall. No on Golota. Akiwande, I think he either just makes or misses the cut.

Probably put Brewster in there for wins over Wlad & Golota like you say, probably put Golota seeing as he impressively beat Bowe twice before losing his head.
McCall yes aswell because of his chin and win over Lewis etc. Akinwande no.

McCall - without question. Top 100? Of course. After the top 50, and certainly top 75 its a case of what you a like. A case can probably be made for any of the others, along with reams of other 'decent' HWs.

McCall's strange in some of the wins he's managed.
A still useful Holmes, Akiwande, Maskaev, Lennox Lewis, Saleta, Sam, Damiani, Seldon...
Really, 50-60 wouldn't be a bad place for McCall.

Yup, of the guys mentioned, McCall is clearly the top guy in the bunch.

I would say Brewster and McCall.
They both defended their titles Brew (3) and McCall (2).
They have beat great names on their resume. Brew-Wlad and McCall-Lewis.
Akinwande beat Jeremy Williams for the WBO ffs.
Golota, even though he was beating Bowe never won a title. He's had plenty of chances.
