    Broadly similar, though I'd have Dubois in and not Kabayel.

    Nice to see I'm not the only one unwilling to rank a full ten through lack of merit :lol:

    I like how you are trying to do ratings on accomplishments and looking at recent and past performances

    I have Fury and Joshua the other way around but think it is very debatable


    Fury has lost to Usyk, a tough decision over Ngannou, a win over Chisora who was 1-3 in his previous 4 fights

    Joshua in the last 2 years has a clear ko win over Ngannou coming off the loss above and stopped Wallin. There is also the win over Helenius and Franklin coming off a defeat and the loss to Usyk

    Agreeing with others here that vaulting Bakole into the top 6 based on (an over-rated, in retrospect) Anderson begs the question of why Hunter isn't even in the conversation(?)

    Guy, I never said you lacked merit...I think you are a fine poster. But you haven't given me anything in this thread to argue against. You have called my pick "ridiculous," when you haven't even ventured an opinion of your own to test it against.

    Good luck to you. I hope you do fill out your list so we can have a proper discussion.

    Notable that Bakole and Hunter shook hands on rematch after the fight last night. It may or may not come off, but it is possible because both are very highly rated by the WBA.

    That's fair. I guess I'm saying a motivated Fury beats everyone not named Usyk.

    I never said you did.

    What I said was that beyond the top six there's a lack of obvious merit to assign 7-10 with.

    The division is horribly thin.

    I'm struggling to see a case for Joyce above Kabayel or Hrgovic.

    Sorry, misread it. My bad.

    I think Joyce has dropped out of the top 10 now though following the loss to Chisora.
