    Post your rankings below.

    This is about who you like, who you want to win, who you enjoy watching, etc.#

    Not necessarily the top guys.

    If you don't want to come up with ten names post a smaller number. Points are allocated as follows: 1st = 10pts, 2nd = 9 pts etc.

    Rules:
    - Fighters must be active and not retired
    - I will collate and produce a combined top 10 ranking
    - Obvious trolls or double submissions may be removed at my discretion. Please stick to the topic and don't troll on this thread.
    - Please don't criticise people's picks on this thread.

    1. Tyson Fury
    2. Rigondeaux


    5. Golovkin
    6. Wilder
    7. Povetkin
    8. Teslenko
    9. Wlad
    10. Luis Ortiz

    Something like that I guess.

    There are plenty of phenomenal fighters like Loma and Usyk not on my list. I recognize they're very good, but I don't really feel much emotion towards them.

    I understand Fury is likely considered inactive, but I don't care. It's my honest list. Discount him if needed.

    Junior Fa, interesting choice. How far do you expect that he'll go?

    Was it the last performance by Parker which led to Gvozdyk taking avatar status and the top spot or was the Ukranian already number 1 for you before then?
