    With previously highly regarded heavyweight contender Joyce being stopped by Zhilei Zhang, how does your ranking of the division now look?
    Before today Joyce was considered by many if not most to be atleast the 5th or 6th best active heavyweight and was said to have a good chance of dominating guys like Joshua and Wilder.
    With his loss, how does this change your personal ranking of the division? Is Joyce removed? Does he stay in the 10? Is Zhang in the top 10 now, And if so whatabout Hrgovic who got the decision in a close fight with Zhang?

    Yes. Also, he's one of two champions; if he's not top two, who the **** is?

    Styles make fights so joyce losing to zhang doesn't have any bearing on how he performs against anyone else imo.

    I still have him number 3 because I think he beats wilder and AJ but probably loses to hrgovic.



    1. Usyk
    2. Fury.
    3. Joyce
    4. Joshua
    5. Hrgovic

    Whyte and dubois have no business in the top ten.

    9 and 10 is a toss up between a few fighters perhaps replace Dubois with Franklin
