We are one month away from Strikeforce Fedor vs. Henderson, and it got me thinking about the top heavyweights of all time.

This is not necessarily a list of who the best fighters are right now, but it is a list of those who have been in the fight game for years and who have made the heavyweight division what it is today.

Since this list can be extremely subjective, I am going to list some requirements fighters need to meet in order to qualify. The qualifications are as followed:

–         Must have held a major world title in the heavyweight division

–         Must have at least 20 fights

–         Must have at least 10 years of pro experience.

 

With that, let’s see who made the cut.

Expect the top five to feature more star power and have more divisional impact. Again, I will not be including rematches that are already scheduled to happen. Let’s take a look.

With Cruz/ Faber 2 only a few days away, it got me thinking about other rematches I want to see. There are so many exciting fights that happened that were either really exciting, ended controversially, or both.

Here are rematches I want to see take place and who I think will win.

Since I will be going pretty in-depth and I know most of you don’t have time to read the whole thing in one sitting, I am only posting 6-10 today. The top five rematches will be posted tomorrow. (Note: I will not be adding rematches that are already scheduled i.e. Forrest Griffin/Shogun Rua 2 or Edgar/Maynard 3)
