    I think Joshua is too high, I've never been a fan of Wilder but right now, he should be higher than Joshua who has two losses now.

    Rivas and Ortiz shouldn't be there. The winners of the Helenius-Kownacki and Sanchez-Agabwa fights should enter at #9 and #10 in two weeks time.

    Fury's nipple in the picture is staring me in the eye.

    I just posted this in the other thread, most I can see justification with the exception on Rivas at 9.

    Near enough, it's always based on unknowns.

    I don't see why Parker is always rated so high, he hasn't ever looked better than he did losing to Joshua, Whyte, and arguably Ruiz. He also arguably lost to Chisora, and looked bad against Fa.

    Am I wrong in questioning Rivas? I haven't seen much of him aside from losing to Whyte.

    Joshua is #3 or #4 (seeing Fury as #1) depending on how Wilder performs in Fury 3.

    Wilder shouldn't even be in top 5.
    Joshua's place is not high. He beats everyone except Fury and Usyk here. I don't like bodybuilder but he still has the best resume.

    Personally I'd have Usyk top given he has 3 belts to Fury's 1 but aside from that it's ok

    I agree, he should be about #8. He certainly should be ahead of Ortiz and Rivas.

    Actually - Hunter shouldn't be there after his shameless duck of Hrgovic IMO.

    I think the top four are accurate considering Fury has the ring magazine belt. I’m not sure about the correct order of the Others though.
