Pretty crappy looking bunch isn't, after the top 2 anyway?

[ChrisPontius]

That's a pretty good list. I'd move Rahman a few of notches down and replace Toney by Brewster, but overal it's solid.:good

This is a fairly decent list. I still don't think Toney belongs on there, but other than that, I can live with it.

[Maxmomer]

Good list. I don't think Rahman should be that high, and I don't think Toney should be there at all, but all things considered, a good list.

:think How about Roy Jones Jr's foray into the Heavyweight division: 1-0 against Opponents on list?

Only one fight, but still managed to beat the number 7 on this list and even though it is speculation I do feel that back then he would have outboxed a green Peter, same goes for Valuev and we already know he could box the ears of Toney.

Worth consideration or just not enough of an actual resume?

I agree the quality of the big men today is pretty dire,imo.

[Russell]

No Maskaev, with his two wins over Rahman?

At least put him over Toney.

This list is a bit better. Toney was lucky to draw vs Rhaman, and did not beat Ruiz due to a failed riods test. I would put Maskeav on the list over Toney, as he was rated higher ( #2 ). I also think Sanders based on a bigger win, or Johnson based on beating Maskeav belong over Toney.
