Why is L. Ortiz so low on these lists? The guy has looked a lot better than some listed higher and against same or better competition. He has not had a deserved title shot yet ( avoided for a reason! ) but looks the goods, no?
The first list looks solid although I rate Joshua higher than Povetkin, Joshua looks unstoppable at the moment could be top of that list a couple months down the line.
This is the real top ten. 1. Wilder 2. Fury 3. Stiverne 4. Wladimir 5. Ortiz 6. Joshua 7. Szpilka 8. Pulev 9. Joseph Parker 10. Bryant Jennings
I don't have Povetkin in my list for obvious reasons and think Chisora should be above Whyte as he's more battled tested and should have got the decision in my book.
1. T. Fury 2. Joshua 3. Wilder 4. Parker 5. Wladimir 6. Povetkin 7. Ortiz 8. Stiverne 9. Hughie F. 10.Washington
