    I thought about Hrgovic but I haven’t actually seen him fight though I have heard of him so I didn’t include him.

    1. Tyson Fury
    2. Oleksandr Usyk (only below Fury because he has only had 3 fights at heavyweight)
    3. Anthony Joshua
    4. Deontay Wilder
    5. Dillian Whyte (not sure if he has the hunger to beat the guys below him now though(
    6. Joseph Parker
    7. Andy Ruiz Jr
    8. Joe Joyce
    9. Martin Bakole
    10. Frank Sanchez (not sure why he isn't on more lists)

    Many will disagree, but here is mine:

    1. Usyk
    2. Joshua
    3. Joyce
    4. Wilder
    5. Makhmudov
    6. Sanchez
    7. Hrgovic
    8. Bakole
    9. Dubois
    10. Jalalov

    Some badly-needed new blood here. Fury is retired. Chisora is faded and was mediocre at his best, Ruiz is a slow-footed fatty, Ortiz is old as Methuselah, Whyte is no good, Parker has become craven and backs out of fights.

    Actually i only watched his last fight, but i think he’s pretty good, good size as well. Would like to see him fight joe joyce, i think it will be exciting

    Based on their records and proved in the ring rather "eye test":

    1. Usyk
    2. AJ
    3. Fury
    4. Whyte
    5. Parker
    6. Ruiz
    7. Hunter
    8. Pulev
    9. Joyce
    10. Wilder

    Although there are guys I would back on "eye test" to beat the likes of the weaker boxers mentioned above such as Pulev and Wilder in the likes of Sanchez, Jalolov, Hrgovic and Bakole who haven't manage to get the right fights yet.

    1. Usyk/Fury
    3. Joshua
    4. Wilder
    5. Joyce
    6. Whyte
    7. Ruiz
    8. Ortiz
    9. Parker
    10. Hunter/Chisora/Helenius

    If Wilder or Fury doesn’t fight for the rest of the year then by default they’re out. The winner of Ruiz vs Ortiz will jump Whyte and Joyce while the loser will drop out the top 10. Joe Joyce will jump Wilder if he beats Parker and Parker would jump to 6-7 if he beats Joyce..

    Top 10 heavyweights like that and people wonder why boxing is suffering, where is all the talent in the USA? I have been saying this for years now, where are the killer heavyweight americans? They aren’t in the NBA and NFL tha’s a bs reason.
