    Going into September I don't think much has changed and wins/losses happen which mean they wont dictate standings for me on one fight ,going by chances of getting the best resume and difficulty on defeating.

    1. Joshua
    2. Fury
    3. Wilder
    4. Hrgovic ( This guy is right there and continues to establish comfortability at HW with different styles a legit threat right now )
    5.. Usyk ( He IS a HW hes Joshuas mando so its speculation if you include him I do,he has fought at HW outside official pro bouts )
    6. Whyte ( distractions wont do him favors here hes still lingering a top 5 spot )
    7. Joyce ( Hes up and own in approach/different trainers and to sporadic for me to put higher right now. )
    8. Ruiz ( He has to be somewhere on here ,he has a W over AJ but does he maintain the top spot in another upset? Doubt that.)
    9. Povetkin (Still a top guy until proven otherwise ,solid career stil his age hurts him here unless he gets another top win )
    10. Ortiz ( The 49 year old only has lost to the third guy here ,it counts for something )


    Guys who could shake the list up not on it..

    Otto Wallin . A win over Fury puts him top 5 spot.
    Pulev .a win over Ruiz /AJ puts him top 5.


    Parker/Hunter are on the prowl these guys could sneak in a top 10 spot with a win over anyone here in beyond 2019.

    Pending Usyk

    Wow! You don't?

    And how is Usyk Joshua's mandatory? His mandatory what?

    Things have changed, friend. Things have changed.

    Ruiz
    Ortiz
    Kabayel
    Wallin
    H Fury

    Wilder loses out due to inactivity, and Povetkin shouldn't be considered as he's in his 40s and likely shot. Joshua isn't even top twenty until he proves otherwise, and Whyte is a skill-less bum on industrial levels of juice who should frankly be banned for life. No way is this lowlife ever getting on my top ten list again, the cheating scum. Miller I'd have around seven or eight, and Tyson should break the top ten if he gets a win over Wallin (unlikely).

    1. Fury
    2. Wilder
    3. Joshua
    4. Ortiz
    5. Ruiz/parker/whyte

    I still rank ortiz up there. Great fighter. His problem is hes a nightmare for some styles but other styles are a nightmare for him. Its a decent competitive division atm. I reckon a lot of them can beat each other. Ruiz would be easy for fury but joshua could actually beat fury. And yet ruiz beat joshua. Go figure

    It's up in the air for top dog right now, but the top 5 h2h is something like this imo (in no particular order)

    Wilder
    Fury
    Joshua
    Ortiz
    Whyte

    I think Ruiz gets beat by all of the above including Joshua in the rematch.

    I have a similar list:

    1) Fury
    2) Wallin
    3) Seferi
    4) 50 year old retired Wlad
    5) Dustin "the worm" Nicols

    1) Fury
    2) Wilder
    3) Ruiz
    4) Joshua
    5) Hard to say. Povetkin and Ortiz are old, Whyte has his dianabol problems, Usyk hasn't fought at heavy, so Idk.

    Usyk is the WBO mandatory no matter who holds the belt .

    Nothings changed besides AJ current standings and guys like Joyce pressuring Povetkin to take a fight with Ortiz potentially nearing the end of a key Guy to defeat by 2020 .Guys like Hrgovic and Joyce who i had ranked over them , would suggest my rankings are on point .

    Only One to switch up dramatically would be another Joshua loss where it puts Ruiz at a number 3 spot from 8.

    Parker , Pulev and Hunter are going to need key win to get back.in my top 10. Hunter was never in my top 10 but it's not improbable.

    I don't think Hughie's done enough to be ranked above Wallin as of yet. Hopefully they'll fight at some point as that's sure to be a barnburner. Nicols I have in my number nine slot as of now. He needs to do something soon though or I might drop him to number ten.
