    1) Usyk - one belt from undisputed
    2) Zhang - Can beat anybody on any given night
    3) Wilder - Can beat anybody on any given night
    4) Hrgovic - boring, but great chin and can bang a little
    5) Joyce - Zhang exposed him but he's still good
    6) Cartman..er...Ruiz - get in shape and he moves up
    7) AJ - due a crushing defeat - Wilder will give it to him
    8) Mahmudov
    9) Sanchez
    10) Anderson

    Hoping we can see Gassiev vs. Wallin

    Whyte is done unless he can prove it was a false positive.



    Fury is effectively retired from competitive heavyweight boxing. He's going to go the WWE route to prevent fighting Usyk or Zhang

    Fury would be #2 if he was still active. I don't count Ngannou as active

    He said that he considers him retired, and I don't think that is an intellectually dishonest opinion at all.

    For me...

    Uysk
    Fury
    Joshua
    Ruiz
    Zhang
    Hrgovic
    Wilder
    Joyce
    Sanchez
    Anderson

    Winner of Gassiev-Wallin could bump some guys.

    i think the main thing here are that people are making WAY too much of Wilder's dodgy win over Sugar Bob Helenius.

    Good list. Mine would be very similar. Agree on #1-4. I'd have Filip higher.
    How can anyone state Fury is "retired"? If Fury is retired, then many top HWs are semi retired.

    This is a good list.

    I wouldn’t have Ruiz Jr in the top 8. He is clearly washed up and has no motivation since making life changing money vs AJ.

    It’s difficult for new HW’s to make it into the elite conversation when major promoters are putting on two washed up 40 year olds as chief support for AJ vs a washed up 40 year old.

    I get that they are desperate to milk their cash cows dry but it’s killing the sport.

    After what Bakole did to Yoka he should have been on that card as chief support or fighting AJ. Good Eastern European HW’s are being frozen out by promoters.
