    #1 - Amir Khan
    #2 - David Price
    #3 - Anthony Mundine
    #4 - Ismayl Sillakh
    #5 - Sadam Ali
    #6 - Artur Szpilka
    #7 - Jorge Linares
    #8 - Dimitry Kudryashov
    #9 - Andrew Tabiti
    #10 - Anthony Joshua

    Longtime features RJJ, Maccarinelli and Kirkland are absent due to inactivity/retirement so this one required a bit of thought.

    Thoughts?

    Updates to the list.

    *Groves replaced due to retirement by Jorge Linares + then swapped with former #7 Dimitry Kudryashov
    *Gavin replaced by Sadam Ali due to the input of fellow colleagues

    Surely Joshua should be higher up the rankings

    He only has 1 tko loss. It's quite possible that he'll be higher on the list before the years end though.

    Forgot about that. Still eligible for ranking though due to having competed in the last year. The Smith fight was only 6-7 months ago. But hmmm... Who would be a suitable replacement?

    Joshua should have moved up those rankings to just below David Price!!

    As bad as Price is, if he landed a bomb first he could beat Joshua!

    Tabiti should be higher man. Only the glassiest of glass jawed fighters take those kinds of canvas naps.

    This is true and I did think of this but was a bit hesitant due to it being his only loss thus far. Any Intel in whether or not Tabiti has touched the canvas prior to this?

    Think Mundine might be a bit too high on your list. Sure his chin isn't the greatest and getting KO'd cold by Sven Ottke looks terrible on the resume . I just think after a long career and being fairly durable , maybe should be down the list a little bit .

    Not a chance. Brutally KOd by light hitting Ottke in a KOTY, upset by Woods of all people, recently laid out in 1 by Horn. If anything his chin is worse now. Jones didn't get a pass for being older... He was still a somewhat rated guy fighting in meaningful fights despite his age and long career, that's the case with Mundine as well. No reason he should get a pass.

    No pass but just a bit high is all. Yeah the Ottke and Horn Ko's look bad but he's not Price/Kudryasov level , surely? He's been in plenty of title fights , gone the distance with Kessler and Green , world class fighters who could bang.
