    At this time I do not rate Wilder in the top ten, not until he fights a legit fighter on the level...................

    Pretty much how I've got though could swap Bellew for Miller. Don't like either of them to be honest lol.

    Yeah I debated about that. If Miller fights and beats Duhaupas next then I'd have him take the 10th spot.

    I put Bellew in 10th because I think his win over even a shot Haye is better than Miller's win over Washington who isn't much better than Charles Martin in my opinion and Wach, Wach has always been garbage.

    1. AJ
    2. Povetkin
    3. Wilder
    4. Ortiz
    5. Parker
    6. Pulev
    7. Miller
    8. Breazeale
    9. Kownacki
    10. Bellew

    Top 6 is pretty standard, I think anything from 7 to 10 is interchangeable.

    Memo to guys out there Dillian Whyte is utter dog shyte.

    AJ
    Wilder
    Povetkin
    Parker/Ortiz

    Something like that. Which is only 5, but I just can’t really see any other names...

    I don’t know. Pulev, Miller I guess.

    Not listing Fury until he finally fights someone.

    1. AJ
    2. Wilder
    3. Ortiz
    4. Povetkin
    5. Parker
    6. Hughie Fury
    7. Pulev
    8. Jennings
    9. Whyte
    10. Andy Ruiz Jr.

    Miller and Bellew/Haye are close. Breazeale if he upsets someone from top 15. I don't know why people put Fury up there, if he's been inactive for over 2 years now. Kownacki lacks sound defensive game to compete in top 10 - anyone with decent physicality will end him inside 4 rounds.

    I'd ditto this with maybe Takam somewhere in the last 4.

    Hughie Fury and Ruiz lingering just outside.

    Usyk, Gassiev and maybe Dychko + a few other recently turned pro are lurking ... not likely to fight any of these in the near future, but quite likely to take a win when/if they eventually do so.

    I hesitate ranking Wilder top 10 until he beats Bronco Billy Wright.

    10:miller/braezeale



    honourable mentions
    tysonfury- if he fights again and looks decent jump up to5th or 6th easy
    Hughie fury.. - I think he could beat whyte,takam/braezeale but need to seehim do it first

    Jennings-the Jennings who fought klitchko would be between 6-10

    bellow/haye neither fight enough.. bellow is borderline 10-15... a 100% haye not injured in my opinion could be anywhere from 2-7
