Here gathered so serious people that even Alexander Povetkin is not in the first place. Want to explain why and tell me how many friends have a rating of Dmitry Mikhailenko?

10. Dmitry Mikhailenko

20 wins, 0 defeats; 66.6 kg; 29 years.

Where did he come from:Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Krasnodar region.

2015: Felipe de la Pip Teniente - Victory (Refusal to continue the battle), Johan Perez - TKO victory

The coolest in his weight:

Short:Mikhailenko trains by the sea - then in Gelendzhik, then somewhere in the USA: Oxnard, Atlantic City. He is being conducted by the Egis Klimas manager, a man with better eyesight and nerves in professional boxing. So that you understand why we are talking about climates: once he invested in Sergey Kovalev a quarter of a million dollars of personal money, so that Kovalev was now owned by three champion belts and from Cardiff to Montreal collected rivals's jaw fists.

9 . David Avanesian

21 victory; 1 defeat; 66.6 kg; 27 years.

Where did he come from: from. Tabyanskoye, Bashkortostan

2015: Dean Bairn - Victory TKO, Charlie Navarro - Victory TKO

The coolest in his weight:Manny Pacquiao, Kell Brooke, Kate Tourman

Short:Avanesian stands on the ninth line of the rating, but it may well not feel the hardness of the soil, being at this place. A week ago, for example, Denis Shafikov was somewhere near the top 5, lost and left for the 12th place. David while most of the battles spent in the south of Russia, leaving it only for the last three days: the United Kingdom and Poland. On the other hand, it was there that he managed to complement the fights early (last two), but the first trip to Britain was difficult. Boxer All 10 rounds dealt with a man whose statistics were 22-16 then and 28-23 right now.

8. Fedor Chudinov

14 victories, 0 defeats; 76.2 kg; 28 years.

Where did he come from: Bratsk

2015:Felix Sturm - Victory by a separate decision, Frank Buglyoni - victory to the unanimous decision

The coolest in his weight:Manny Pacquiao, Kell Brooke, Kate Tourman

Short:You may not like "Night Wolves", which are accompanied by Fedor and to his battle in Germany, have been added to the jubilee motorcycle race Great Victory. You may not like promoter Vladimir Khryunov, who leads Fedor. But it does not allow denying two things. Fedor went to Frankfurt and beat a local boxer there, being Anderdog at the bookmakers. And then came to England and defended the title. Fedor Chudinov as such - it is just a normal guy. "If I had been provoked like Briggs Vladimir Klitschko, I would not call the lawyers. We would wear gloves and how two men came up in the hall. " He lives in Serpukhov, dances - apparently, will listen to tips from Roy Jones.

7. Ruslan Condugeni

Where he came from: from. Berzovo, KhMAO

2015 year: Lucas Matisse - defeat by the decision of the majority of judges, Jesus Rodriguez - TKO victory

The coolest in his weight:

Short:The most beloved (this is a little different compared to the "popular") boxer of Russia continues to bounce with him and fight with his rivals. Conductors have three years of twin by shoulders: defeat in the first half, victory - in the second. Only if in the 2013th defeat from Bradley was a victory in content, and the next battle brought the title, selected from Alvarado, then the defeat was less mandatory, and victories are not as memorable. In 2015, Ruslan lost a very important duel with Mattissa and forced his manager to talk about the need to change. The conductors began to work with the new coach, but, having defeated Hesus Rodriguez in Monaco, did not give an answer, which he led to.

6. Arthur Beterbiev

9 wins, 0 defeats; 79.3 kg; 30 years.

Where he came from: Khasavurta

2015 year: Gabriel Campillo - Ko victory, Alexander Johnson - Victory TKO

The coolest in his weight:

Short:A verbal sword with Kovalev this year was remembered more than fighting with Campiglio and Johnson. Arthur either himself, or with the filing of managers reminded Sergey, as he won him in lovers, and Sergey recalled, like Beretbiev's sparrings "The head flew to ... Py."

After that, everything was even more strange: Arthur, who offered Kovalev's duel, suddenly refused the fight. True, he said not, and the manager: "Arthur needs another fight before going to Kovalev."

5. Eduard Trojanovsky

23 victories, 0 defeats; 63.5 kg; 35 years.

Where he came from: Omsk

2015 year: Ayk Shahnazaryan - Ko's victory, Ronald Pontillas - Ko, Cesar Cuenca - Victory TKO

The coolest in his weight:Treins Crawford, Victor Postol, Edrien Browner

Short:By the ratio of modesty / level, it could be in the first place. Smile, sociable and only because of the weight category in it it is difficult to guess a person who has never lost in 23 professional boxing battleship and stands in fourth place in the world ranking. Ahead - bronor, rear - conductors. To bring the first to Russia could be the main goal for Andrei Ryabinsky for the 2016th.

4. Denis Lebedev

20 wins, 2 defeats; up to 90.7 kg; 36 years.

Where he came from: Stary Oskol

2015 year: Joury Caleng - victory to the unanimous decision, Latif Kayoda - Victory TKO

The coolest in his weight:

Short:Somehow no one paid attention that Denis spent, perhaps the best year sports career. Two title protection, one of which was at that very evening boxing in Kazan, where the Russians fell confidently, and the guests destroyed the jaws and statuses of the losers in advance. Denis showed that it is capable of learning, is able to become more mobile and able to grow. If in battle with the caleng he added down his legs and thinking, then the second battle was able to add to this a year, which was always with him.

3. Grigory Drozd

40 victories, 1 defeat; up to 90.7 kg; 36 years.

Where he came from: Prokopyevsk

2015: Lukash Yanik - Victory TKO

The coolest in his weight:Gregory Drozd, Denis Lebedev, Kshyshtof Glovaki

Short:In the career of Grigory, now the turn, similar to the trajectory for a question mark. First, he at the level of the level of which 99% of boxers will not reach, and it is necessary to understand that it is not always easy to motivate yourself when the main goal is made. Secondly, Drozda of those boxers whom the boxing gave not only the opportunity to realize in life, but also the opportunity to develop somewhere else. He holds tournaments on Muay Tha, comments on battles, engaged in social activities. At 36, it may be trite as interesting as two workouts per day for three months. Grigory has a fight for spring, there will be an answer.

2. Alexander Povetkin

30 wins, 1 defeat; Over 90.7 kg; 36 years.

Where he came from: Kursk

2015 year: Mike Perez - Victory TKO, Mariusch Vakh - TKO victory

The coolest in his weight:Tyson Fury, Vladimir Klitschko, Alexander Povetkin

Short:Hero of his time unexpectedly received support from the UK: Tyson Fury, who arranged drain, Vladimir Klitschko, confused a little situation in super heavy weight. How does everything look now, you need a belt belt for status. There are four of them four: two in Fury, who will give Revan Klitschko. One of the American Wilder, who will ask for a lot of money for the fight with himself and, most likely, will lose Alexander. There is another belt - his fury washed into the toilet after the organization said he takes him to the British. Wilder, who will have to wait for Revan Fury and Klitschko, may agree to the fight in Moscow with Povetkin.

1. Sergey Kovalev

28 wins, 1 draw; 79.3 kg; 32 years.

Where did he come from: Kopeisk, Chelyabinsk region

2015: Jean Pascal - Victory TKO, Nadzhib Mohammedi - victory

The coolest in his weight:Sergey Kovalev, Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward

Short:Boxer, who was waiting for the planet, was born in Kopeisk and this should be rejoiced. After Klitschko's defeat and conflict, Tyson Fury with IBF, he is the only one in the world with three champion belts and the only Russian in the top ten planet boxers regardless of weight. It somehow gets around and cry "Aiu, Chelyaba", and englishwhere he gives an interview in America, and a house in the United States, and the Russian flag on the shoulders. And also the ability to beat hard and interesting to tell. Made himself, who separated almost three dozen Kovalev's rivals never was the first number of the Russian national team in lovers and now harms up.

What was a dozen a year ago *: 10. Evgeny Gradovich, 9. Habib Allahverdiyev, 8. Rakhim Chakhkiev, 7. Ruslan Condugeni, 6. Denis Lebedev, 5. Denis Shafikov, 4. Matvey Korobov, 3. Gregory Drozd, 2. Alexander Povetkin, 1. Sergey Kovalev .

Joe Fraser. This American was born in 1944 in South Carolina. Boxing was in Joe's life by chance, his first passion was gymnastics. However, taking a new sport for himself, Fraser managed to become one of the best heavyweights in America. On the way, Joe was no longer anyone who could beat him. Only Basher Matisa managed to do it. That victory gave him the right to go to the Olympics in Tokyo in 1964. But her hand injury prevented Matis, as a result, it was Fraser represented by the US. He became the Olympic champion, defeated the German finals of Huber.

The young Cassius declared that it was worth to take it under the custody, then he could become an Olympic champion and just the best boxer in the world. The coach decided to work with promising young men and did not lose. He turned out to be a boxer from nature.

He possessed the ideal body of an athlete, he had a flexible mind and excellent intuition. But this was preceded by hard work. The younger brother threw stones in Cassius, honing his reaction.

The 1960 Olympics Cassius Glue easily won, speaking in lightweight weight. From 1964 to 1974, Ali was a repeated world champion in heavyweight boxing. For the past 20 years, he was King Ring. When heighting in 192 cm, the boxer weighed about 97 kg, it was very movable. It is no coincidence that Ali belongs to the phrase: "Put, like a butterfly, I regret like a bee." Total legend spent 25 title or qualifying fights, which is inferior only to Joe Louis. In total, Ring Ali suffered 5 defeats, the first of which in the championship match with Joe Freizer in 1971.

After that fight, George felt the connection with God. The second call sounded after the defeat in 1977 from Jimmy Yang. Formman left a big sport and became a preacher. He built the church, collecting donations. 10 years outside the box have changed an athlete, but in 1987 he stated that he dreams about returning. Forman gathered again to become a champion.

Louis, known as the "brown Capral" won his first 27 fights, of which 24 knockout. The coach picked up his rivals, gradually increasing their level. However, Louis screamed with rings and experienced boxers, and ex-champions. Before the beginning of World War II, Joe was defended by his title of absolute champion.

Let's talk like intellectual with intellectual?

Boxing is one of the most popular sports on earth. Many find it, it would seem that the cruel "manuscript" opposition two rivals attractive, forcing the fight to the end, without breaking down.

As the passionate fan of boxing Arthur Conan Doyle said once said this species Sports is a conversation of two intellectuals in gestures. However, some in such a "communication" occurs is sometimes much harder than others, - if the "interlocutor" it fell sickly large. In this case, the opponent is not easy to find a way to strike, given one of the main rules of combat - not to beat the belt below. How to implement this if sometimes one of the opponents in the literal sense of the word breathes another to the belt (championship?)!

The story knows not one such an athlete. The one who will say that certainly the largest is "superstays". It is understandable - after all, it is in their case that not only a rather big weight is allowed, but also an increase can be appropriate.

However, to determine who the biggest boxes are not very easy, since it is not known that it is here to take into account: only growth, only weight or all together.

Romanian and two Americans

One of the most incredible representatives of this sport was Goggy Mita, a citizen of Romania. This man lived only twenty-two years, and it is known that in 1935 he performed in the ring. Sources of those years claim that the growth of Mita was about two meters of 23 centimeters, and the weight is about 150 kilograms. Goggy's photos next to his opponents are very impressive: not even little athlete There was a little above the belt to Romanian and seemed to be a real pigment or Liliput compared to him.

Nichtie was not inferior to the growth of this giant American John Rankin. True, there is little information about it: the Annals of History retained the data only about one of its bosa in 1967 in Louisiana, which, by the way, he won. What happened to this boxing giant Next - the Great Mystery, and even English-speaking sources stored a hard silence about Rankin.

According to eyewitness, Jim Kulli, American boxer and a wrestler, who spent the forties of the last century, also had a height of 2.23 meters.

Heavy weight

The largest of the "super heavy" were at least two people. One of them is Australian Samuel Pannet - in front of his battle in March 1999 he was greatly puzzled by the match organizers. They could not find suitable scales to find out what the exact weight of this giant is. "On the eye" determined that it was about 250 kilograms.

A little more "miniature" was another athlete - American Frank Finnegan. Conducted battles in 2001, he was at that time weighed at least 210 kilograms. The growth of Finneghan was relevant - 2.01 meters.

However, all these people did not benefit any serious title. The world's champion in the entire history of Boxing is the biggest (in terms of dimensions). It is not difficult for compatriots to call his name - Nikolai Valuev, in August of the current year, celebrated the fortieth anniversary.

Russian giants

"Russian giant", as it was nicknamed in the ring, already in kindergarten was significantly higher than all of his peers. Becoming an adult, Nikolai "Duck" already up to two meters 14 centimeters (however, there is evidence as as many as 2.17 m), and its weight amounted to almost 160 kg. True, in the period of participation in the most important battles, he was humid up to 141-148 kg.

During professional activitywhich began in 1993, the growth of sometimes helped him in battle. So, one more curious case is known when the rival of Valuev, going to the ring against the "beast from the east" (another nickname of St. Petersburg boxer), just jumped around him, being unable to get somewhere above the belt to strike, and refused Further participation in the match.

Nikolai, who became now, at the end of the sports career, also the most "large-sized" politician in history, spent more fifty battles at one time, and only two of them were defeated.

However, large boxers only at first glance have an advantage. In fact, their height and weight is a huge burden on the spine. This can not not affect health, why career does not always develop, as I would like.
