Top 10 rankings right now
Heavyweights (190 and up)
1. Lennox Lewis (40-2-1). Boxing's biggest mystery: Will he sign with Don King and if he does will he still fight Vitali Klitschko next? Next: TBA.
2. Wladimir Klitschko (40-1). Lewis' heir apparent will bide time waiting for title shot by staying busy in Germany. Next: March 8 vs. TBA.
3. Chris Byrd (36-2). Sharp belt-winning performance vs. Evander Holyfield came as no surprise. Next: TBA.
4. David Tua (42-3). Long-awaited rematch with Hasim Rahman is finally at hand. Next: March 29 vs. Rahman.
5. John Ruiz (38-4-1). Let's get the prediction out of the way early: he beats Roy Jones Jr. Next: March 1 vs. Jones.
6. Evander Holyfield (38-6-2). Torn rotator cuff or not, 40-year-old warrior wasn't going to beat Byrd. Next: TBA.
7. Hasim Rahman (35-4). "Rock" is in a must-win situation against Tua after consecutive losses to Lewis and Holyfield. Next: March 29 vs. Tua.
8. Fres Oquendo (23-1). Stopped George Arias on Byrd-Holyfield undercard but looked abysmal; next bout is on Ruiz-Jones card. Next: March 1 vs. TBA.
9. Kirk Johnson (33-1-1). He's calling out Wladimir Klitschko. Guess he wants to get drilled. Next: TBA.
10. Jameel McCline (28-3-3). After non-effort vs. Wladimir Klitschko, a rematch vs. Michael Grant makes sense. Next: TBA.
Others: Mike Tyson, Vitali Klitschko. Top cruiserweights: Vassiliy Jirov, Wayne Braithwaite, James Toney, Jean-Marc Mormeck, Johnny Nelson.
