Well, I realized that I wasn't as disappointed with Parker's performance as I thought I would be. I think if Gvozdyk got knocked out or looked bad it would annoy me more.
I think he could actually get to the level Parker is at now if he works hard. He's still fighting no-hopers though, long way to go for sure.
1. Golovkin 2. Fury (Tyson) 3. Spence Jr 4. Matthysse 5. Farmer 6. Charlo (Jermall) 7. Gvozdyk 8. Kovalev 9. Charlo (Jermell) 10. Crawford Toney, Mosley & RJJ are also personal favourites who while technically still active, I left off as they should probably be retired and are no longer relevant.
1:joseph parker 2:GGG 3:loma 4:shawn portor 5:mikey garcia 6:crawford 7:Lubin 8acquico 9:gamboa 10:kell brook.

In no order Roman Gonzalez, Gennady Golovkin, Canelo Alvarez ,Timothy Bradley, Anthony Joshua, Shinsuke Yamanaka, Carlos Buitrago, Wanheng Menayothin, Deontay Wilder, Knockout Cp Freshmart, Joseph Parker, Anselmo Moreno, Akira Yaegashi, Sergey Kovalev and Ilunga Makabu
Okay, time for the first summing up. For those who have posted "in no order" or similar, the total points they had to allocate (55 = 10+9+8 ...) will be shared equally among the fighters they name. Keep the replies coming!
Geez, most of my recent favorites are retired (Mayweather, Malignaggi, Wladimir, Wonjongkam, Calderon, Takayama)... 1. Kazuto Ioka 2. Roman Gonzalez 3. Nonito Donaire 4. Giovani Segura 5. Anselmo Moreno 6. Diablo Wlodarczyk 7. Moruti Mthalane 8. Canelo Alvarez 9. Shawn Porter 10. Keith Thurman Wow, I don't like any of the crop right now, haha, several of those guys are on the way out or barely active and the bottom three were forced... Honorable mentions to guys like Huck, Tete, Crawford, and Yaegashi.
I'd heard of him and read a couple of articles, but I've never seen him fight. Watched a couple of videos of him tonight. Also saw that he and Parker went 2-2 in the amateurs. He's on my active watch list now.
