Hey Morph,

Thanks for your post. Similarly - while not exactly the same - here's how I rank the heavyweights, overall, at this point in time:

1. Lennox Lewis
2. Wladimir Klitschko
3. Mike Tyson
4. Kirk Johnson
5. David Tua
6. Evander Holyfield
7. Vitaly Klitschko
8. Larry Donald
9. Oleg Maskaev
10. Michael Grant

Clifford Etienne and Larry Clay-Bey definitely get a shout for the fight they held in a phone booth two weeks ago.

Also worthy of note, in particular with regard to these heavyweight rank lists, is the following: Ike Ibeabuchi - a guy who I was sure was the only fighter capable of beating Lewis, Tyson, and Holyfield before I saw Clifford Etienne - will have his fate decided (legal or medical) on December 18th.

At his former rate of success, he would be number three, at worst, on this list...and would quite possibly have fought Tua two weeks ago in Lewis' place, wearing the championship belts.
