Good list, we all can come up with different and reasonable ranking combos. For the top 10 I'd up Pulev a few spots, drop Chambers a few.

Where's Jennings? No Mitchell might be a little harsh.

Mitchell was always a stretch to be Top 20 and has now been exposed.

Jennings hasn't beaten anyone of note---Liakovitch is too far past his prime to count. He's a very good prospect though and is probably Top 25 h2h.

These guys would destroy many of the hypejobs that show up on Top 20 lists. All 4 are decent heavyweights with good wins. Only Cunningham is somewhat unproven, yet his reign as a cruiser champ ought to earn him more respect.

Helenius ahead of Fury.

honestly it may be a stretch to have Fury so high, but I feel Fury has improved alot in the last year. Plus his willingness to take on Boystov and Johnson shows he must be feeling quite confident atm.

Helenius deserves more credit for getting past Sherman Williams, who is a very difficult guy to beat. SW was probably a better win for RH then shot Peter. But I understand your point in the sense that I agree RH isn't Top 10 h2h.

Why did you rank USS so high, ludwig?

Fury beat Chisora.
Helenius lost to him.

That's all that needs to be said really.

Not if you take into account

-Chisora's conditioning vrs. Fury
-RH was probably fighting with an injury vrs. Chisora
-Fury has benefited from at least 1 robbery and several questionable ref jobs to keep his unbeaten record.

Helenius won a SD, last time I saw the decision announced.
