    Andy Ruiz doesn't belong in there, neither does Mansour and i'd switch a couple of names around but otherwise fairly accurate. Oh yeah, Hughie Fury hasn't really done enough to be considered top 25 either.

    I am not writing Ruiz Jr completely off from his last fight vs Liakhovic, which was terrible to watch. I think he beats the likes of Browne, Hammer, Arreola, Duhaupas and Szpilka, who didn't make my top 25. Fedosov is also close to top 25, he might beat Ruiz Jr at this point.

    I had a shot White Wolf drawing with Ruiz, and he looked ill prepared.... With a full camp he probably would have gotten the nod... Based on that fight I think Duhaupas and Szpilka would beat him, especially in 10-12 rounders. I don't rate Browne, or Hammer that high so you could well be right, but I don't think he's fighting at that much of a higher level than those guys, Arreola may have fallen far enough for someone like Ruiz to beat him.

    Not a great list at all. Perez, Ustinov and Takam should not be in the top 10 nor should Joshua.

    Parker, Ortiz and Martin should be somewhere between 10 and 15.
    Ustinov, Helenius, Perez drop lower.

    Get some sleep. You have Wilder at #1, and that fat tub of lard Ruiz in your top 10.

    Some really interesting calls in here, some I agree with and some I strongly disagree with. I can pretty much guess where people are from by their options, and I'm feeling Parker is being underrated (albeit not hugely so) so I guess I could be as bias as others are being.

    While I'm pondering it, here's the "average" rating people have given to fighters mentioned so far:

    1 Klitschko
    2 Povetkin
    3 Helenius
    4 Pulev
    5 Jennings
    6 Platov
    7 Wilder
    8 Chagaev
    9 Takam
    10 Fury
    11 Perez
    12 Joshua
    13 Ruiz
    14 Thompson
    15 Teper
    16 Ortiz
    17 Dimintrenko
    18 Ustinov
    19 Wach
    20 Stiverne
    21 Glazkov
    22 Peter
    23 Cunningham
    24 Tarver
    25 Chisora

    I think the top 10 of that list is very reasonable, though I have no idea who Platov is so I'd replace him with Fury
