And if it was including all weight classes Ramon dekkers is up there he's such a badass fighter. More credit should be given to fighters that have fought 60-70 plus times.. I think it's amazing some fighters have that many fights under their belt for such a high injury sport Hoost should at least be in the top 5..

Look: Aerts was a great fighter...in the mid-late 1990s. It is 2009. No offense to him, but his best efforts were years and years and years ago. Schilt's dominance came against the same names from the mid 90s, like Aerts, Hoost, and Lebanner. The entire division was bolstered during the 2000s not with hot emergent talent but with old guys and varying frauds and freakshows like Botha, Sapp, Musashi, and Akebono. Simply put, in a healthy heavyweight division, Aerts wouldn't be in the top 15.

I struggled with that. But like I said, I give Aerts the nod largely because a follow up win over Zimmerman trumps Hari's follow up win over Freddy Sinestra. K-1 MAX rankings (and other under 70 kg fighters) are coming later this week. That's a much stronger list. Snowden - I know what you mean about Aerts, though I think you're a bit harsh on him. But this is sort of what I was talking about in my last column - it's a transitional time for K-1 where they don't have a lot of guys who have yet stepped up and really taken those top spots. Aerts is not what he once was, but then again he once was the best in the world, and he's still pretty good. I'd say the current HW scene here is similar to the MMA HW scene 2 years ago when Couture was past his prime, but still good enough to be #2 in a weak top 10. Only difference is that K-1 lacks that dominant Fedor-esque #1 since Schilt lost. I know what you mean about Hari and Aerts. I struggled with that.

I would change Aerts and Hari though. Even though Hari dq'd himself and got knocked out, he still smoked aerts. On another note, Someone should post rankings for K1 world MAX.
