    I have Pulev higher in my top 10 than Miller just at present as I believe he is the more skilled fighter. However its certaintlly debatable, I mean Miller has the better runs of fights of late with and certainly handled Dinu a lot easier than Pulev did.

    Whyte has a deeper record and far superior career win in Parker which is better than Pulev has managed in his career.

    Pulev is more skilled than Whyte as well. And if we single out fights - Whyte actually lost to Chisora and got a gift for the first time. Pulev beat the same Chisora without controversy.

    I had Whyte winning the first fight against Chisora by about 3 rounds. Whyte then gave Chisora the most brutal KO of his career. Pulev did beat Chisora comfortably too.

    Well I thought Whyte won. And 1 punch KO'ed him in the rematch. Whyte has also beat Parker, a former world champion who is better than anyone Pulev beat

    Agree with all of it.

    Pulev had a top-shelf promoter in Sauerland (until their Russian-money vaporized last year) and the only reason fights weren't getting made for Pulev up until last summer (when Sauerland's operation seemed to dissolve almost ovr night) was that other fighters or their management were just ducking him because he was unknown outside of Europe but definitely high risk.

    Some people said that Pulev's pullout for his scheduled fight with AJ due to a shoulder injury was just a cover - but I think that's bull****. Because if he had ducked that fight you can be damn sure that Kalle Sauerland and his "investors" would have ensured that Pulev found his way onto those same train tracks as Denis Boytsov did.

    Pulev's age is going to start being a factor in the next 12 months or so - but he still definitely makes my HW top-10 list for the momennt.

    I tend to base ratings on resume as that to me is really what says it all.
    With that in mind, do we go on what we feel or official results?
    I guess based on official results I would go

    1. Joshua
    2. Fury
    3. Povetkin
    4. Pulev
    5. Whyte
    6. Wilder
    7 - 10 I think can be very variable but would guess that Parker, Breazeale, Miller, Kowanacki, Ortiz, Rivas, Kabayel could all be argued for a place
