    As of today

    1. ) Usyk
    2. ) Joshua
    3. ) Fury

    I think it could be debatable between Joshua and Fury

    4. ) Parker
    5. ) Dubois
    6. ) Kabayel
    7. ) Zhang
    8. ) Hrgovic
    9. ) Whyte
    10.) Bakole

    Possibly something like this
    The only one I am really sure of is Usyk at number 1
    Fury and Joshua below Usyk but above everyone else but could argue which way around
    I could see various debates for all the others

    Great list, Rummy. Only comment is that Hrgovic IMO was and is way overrated. I'd leave him out and replace him with one of the young guys you mentioned.

    But what do I know over here?

    Good Rummy video especially because it's a tough job to be accurate with the HW TOP 10 at the moment.
    I am sure, considering all the scheduled matches, that you will have to change the TOP 10 list by the end of the month, that is, the August HW TOP 10 will be different from the December HW TOP 10.
    And one more thing I would add...
    IMHO No. 8 Bakole would knock out No. 7 Dubois, especially since Dubois is falling to non-punchers Larena and Usyk.

    I don't see how you can put current Whyte in the top 10

    It's not that I don't think there are fighters who he may lose to, but have to consider his complete resume including losses and it is alot better than many
    I think ratings should be on results rather than potential of who would most likely win at a certain time

    Whytes resume is better than many

    Povetkin
    Parker
    Rivas
    Chisora
    Browne
    Helenius
    Current top 10 American HW Franklin


    Though did say it was debatable and can see other arguments
