Your current heavyweight top ten, as of 2.8.25

You should probably switch Jalalov in for Ajagba who will turn 31 a week on Saturday.

It's kind of crazy that Jalalov is the first man to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals at Super Heavyweight, yet there is a severe lack of promotional push behind him. I gather he just pulled out (medical reasons) of a Canadian card headlined by an NABF title fight...
Is this guy just going to be left to die on the vine?

 

1. Usyk
2. Dubois

Kabayel
Okolie

I’m not looking at resume but rather where I think they are right now and who they can take.

 

Promise I'm not baiting and anyone who answers is just getting thanked not argued with:

Why is Bakole so favored while Bakole beater Hunter seems really disliked by this forum?

 

Chisora deservedly on top 10 lists in 2025. Strange times.

 

Seriously?! check the lists from the Klitschko era https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine's_Annual_Ratings:_Heavyweight--2000s
There are some cracking fights to be made.
Chisora may not be one of the top 10 HW active fighters, but his activity, resume and willingness to fight is what has got him there.

 

he’a not top 10 tho Wallin just can’t fight and never throws a punch

 

Not saying he is top world level but wallin was european champion so saying he "just can,t fight" is a bit strange . Chisora just gave a fantastic performance for his age that evening

 

nope I’ve seen Wallin when he fights at a higher level he does pitty patty straights only. Chisora was slow as hell as well as pretty much gassing and walking around as he pleases down the stretch because Wallin literally watched him do it. It’s not hard to name 10 better heavyweights than Chisora right now just look at the thread

 

No.

 

Reckon I'll stay with this. I didn't think much of Zhang and already liked Kabayel so it's not that big a win to me. I guess I could swap him and Larry but I don't think beating the crap out of an ancient Chinese man who was always slower that a zombie with about half the stamina is as impressive as Hunter's performances let alone the former or current champs.


Edit-

I forgot to comment on Bakole. I'd drop him down but who can I move ahead of him? Hrgovic might be more deserving maybe, on merit, but I'm just not into that Frankenstein style. Being big is no reason to be so slow and square.

 

Champion: Usyk

1. Dubois
2. Parker
3. Kabayel
4. Hrgović
5. AJ
6. Zhang
7. Bakole
8. Ajagba
9. Chisora
10. Wardley

 

Good list and I'm in the massive minority, but despite parker not having a belt,I have him number 2. Though I'm not fighting with anyone having Daniel as 1. It was a paper title won against Aj who has seen better days.

Parker should have imo fought for that title and it looks like he will have to fight yet again before getting a shot

That fat lump can fight bums and chisora 50 times yet get automatic shots and Aj can get a shot whenever he wants. I know they are the guys who brings money, but I believe Parker deserves his shot next
