Well, after this PPV, here is my own top ten rankings for the heavyweight division...
1.Vitali Klitschko - He tkod Larry Donald, had a great fight with Lewis (who promptly retired), destroyed Kirk Johnson, and retired Corrie Sanders...pretty good string. Up next is Danny Williams on ppv
2.Chris Byrd - Questionable decisions over Oquendo and Golota, and I havent seen the McCline fight but noones arguing it. He hasnt lost in 4 years and really seems hungry to keep his belt.
3.John Ruiz - This guy is boring and sloppy...but he always wins somehow. Roy Jones is the only guy to really beat him since 1996
4.Hasim Rachman - If this guy is in shape he can beat anyone. Just ask Lennox
5.James Toney - Along with Byrd, hes the most talented guy in the division. His last four wins (Robinson, Jirov, Holy, Booker) have been very impressive...but hes been injury prone
6.Monte Barrett - Hes a bit of a wildcard and a journeyman...but hes looking good lately. He looked very sharp in losing conroversially to Joe Mesi (who seems to be finished) and handed Dominic Guinn his first loss.
7.Andrew Golota - An amazing comeback...he deserves one more chance after possibly getting jobbed in two straight close fights
8.Danny Williams - Virtually unknown until knocking out Tyson. Up next he gets to fight the big dog, Vitali.
9.Wladimir Klitschko - Clearly the lesser of two brothers, but if he corrects his problems he can comeback as a serious contender. His chin is very questionable.
10. Tie - Larry Donald/Vassily Jirov - Donald is far from the best, but his win over Holy will probably net him a title shot. Jirov lost to Mesi in his first heavyweight fight but may have retired Baby Joe in the process...up next is former champ Michael Moorer on FoxSportsNet.
