Heavyweight GreatsElsewhere on the WebCurrent Heavyweight RankingsMay 17 2008 Heavyweight Top 50The heavyweight division has always been and will always be the glamour division of the sport ... but it's kind of a mess at the present time. Lennox Lewis was the (more-or-less) undisputed champ ... but now he's retired. Then Vitali Klitschko seemed to be on his way to becoming the (more-or-less) undisputed champ ... but then he retired too ... at least for a while. Plus all the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport are campaigning in lower weight categories. Nevertheless, the big money and the majority of the media attention continues to focus on the big boys. Accordingly, it seems appropriate to have an in-depth look at who's who in today's heavyweight division and rank them accordingly. Plenty of magazines and web sites will give their top ten. However, if you really love boxing, then ten is definitely not enough. So here they are -- the top fifty heavyweight fighters in the world today. Let the debates begin!

Wladimir Klitschko Next: July 12 vs. Tony Thompson Dropped from the Top 50: Chris Byrd, Corrie Sanders, Lawrence Clay-Bey, Owen Beck, Michael Grant, Vassiliy Jirov, Danny Williams, Kevin McBride, Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe. We're sure your list would look quite different. Tell us and your fellow fight fans where you agree and where you disagree on the boxing bulletin board.
