    Your top 5 seems pretty spot on.

    Like most HW lists of the past decade, everything after that gets murky and highly debatable.

    The top 10 are set in stone but the top 10-20 are interchangeable. I also noticed that you don't rate Haye?

    Yeah, Haye just needs to do more. He's 35 and hasn't fought a real contender in 3.5 years, since then he's called off 3 fights against real challengers, had career threatening shoulder surgery, and had one fight against a sub top 100 hw. I'm not rating him until I see him against a top 30ish hw. I'm not convinced he's remotely the same fighter he used to be. To some extent, it's similar reasons I left Helenius off my list too.

    Wilder can't be ranked above Ortiz.

    The Alabama Bomber's most recent win (after being outboxed) is over Szpilka who Ortiz's best win (Jennings) destroyed.

    Not bad. I would say Ortiz is above Wilder, bets aside.

    I'd rather Parker in the top 10. I'm not sure if Stiverne belongs in the top 12.

    Robert Helenius belongs in the top 15. He's big, he can hit, he can take a punch.

    Sergey Kuzmin, now 5-0 looks to be in the top 10 by 2018.

    Agree on Helenius, but I feel that he could have problems with slicksters such as Scott, Cunningham, Haye and Hughie Fury. They would steal the rounds from him. Hit and run style.

    Robert Helenius doesn't belong anywhere near the top-15 right now. Have you seen him since his comeback? He looks absolutely terrible. I don't think he is even in the top-40 at this moment...

    Peter at 13? He's fought once in the last five years against a guy sub-journeyman level.
