    Quick correction, Szpilka has been inactive for over 2 years so it's Otto Wallin at #20 instead.

    10) Ali Eren Demirezen

    What happened to this guy? I watched a couple of his fights and thought he was going to be a gatekeeper at least.

    Jarrell Miller almost (and should have) secured himself 4th spot

    What happens if instead of the losing fighter going down 1 place (and all of the fighters below), you just switch winner and loser?

    So for example figher A ranked 3 loses to figher B ranked 10, new rankings: B 3 and A 10, the rest is unchanged

    No Agit Kabayel?

    He's beaten Zhang and Chosora (from the list) plus Sanchez, Makmudov, Rudenko etc.

    I was looking at the list in your opening post. The one you referred to as 'the current Heavyweight rankings'.

    (#10 in that list is Ali Eren Demirezen and I can't see Agit Kabayel there)

    Apologies I just noticed how old that list is in the opening post. Hadn't seen this thread before and assumed it was a new(ish) one. That first list was 'current' 18 months ago.

    (Agit Kabayel did beat Chisora in 2017 too)

    So, if Usyk chooses to face #20 for the next five years and beats them, he remains #1?
