    Here are mine:

    Champion - Usyk
    1 - Parker
    2 - Kabayel
    3 - Fury
    4 - Dubois
    5 - Hrgovic
    6 - Zhang
    7 - Joshua
    8 - Itauma
    9 - Chisora
    10 - Wardley
    11 - Bakole
    12 - Okolie
    13 - Torrez Jr
    14 - Huni
    15 - Ajagba

    Top 10 pretty easy, 11th to 15th not quite so and anyone could arguably be lower. Ruiz, Whyte, Miller all inactive for over a year.

    Any word on Zhang fighting? He really blew his last 2 fights. Was able to knockdown opponents but not put the finisher on them.

    Fury is officially retired and by some reports looking very poorly lately. I don't believe he will be back.

    As in poor by even Fury standards? I mean I know five fat boxers and Fury is three of them.

    Usyk
    #1 Parker
    #2 Kabayel
    #3 Hrgovic
    #4 Wardley
    #5 Itauma
    #6 Zhang
    #7 Bakole
    #8 Dubois
    #9 Ajagba
    #10 Joshua

    a thin division especially from 6-15. I'd say Itauma has the most talent of any fighter here not named Usyk
