Well the likes of Adamek and Pulev have to be taken out due to taking part in the IBF mandatory tournament in fairness. Possibly Helenius and fury are out for similar reasons with the WBO and WBC?

Comical ranking, I did my own and got some stick for it, yet these are farcical!

Wow you rate Wilder's opposition the same as British domestic level fighters such as ***ton, Dallas, Skelton even John Mcdermott? Atleast they are in the top 100, most of Wilder's opponents aren't even in the top 300 and have been inactive for years or coming off a losing streak. I'd have Price around top 15 and if he beats Thompson in spectacular fashion he'll be in my top 10, Lets see your top 15 then....

If thats the case why is Pulev still ranked by the WBC and WBO? Infact both Fury & Pulev are ranked top 10 by WBC, IBF & WBO its only the WBA who has left them out.

Yes Kayode had 9 heavyweight fights early in his career.
He Ko'd a few of them but this was years ago. No reason to be ranked.

Yes i realise his first 10 fights were at HW, I was reffering to if he had fought at Heavyweight since he announced he was moving up to the heavyweight division which he hasn't, those first 10 fights of his career shouldnt give him a top 15 WBA ranking.
