    So accomplishment, opposition bested all that good stuff, but obviously where they meet that carries a lot of weight. The ranking % are approximate in some instances; rankings by TBRB post 2012. I went for:

    10 - Luis Ortiz
    Peak Ranking: 3 Record for the Decade: 31-2 Ranked For: 40% of the Decade

    09 - Andy Ruiz
    Peak Ranking: 1 Record for the decade: 33-2 Ranked for: 18% of the decade

    08 - Joseph Parker
    Peak Ranking: 3 Record for the decade: 26-2 Ranked for: 39% of the decade

    07 - Dillian Whyte
    Peak Ranking: 3 Record for the decade: 27-1 Ranked for: 19% of the decade

    06 - Vitali Klitschko
    Peak Ranking: 2 Record for the decade: 6-0 Ranked for: 35% of the decade

    05 - Alexander Povetkin
    Peak Ranking: 2 Record for the decade: 27-2-1 Ranked for: 100% of the decade

    04 - Deontay Wilder
    Peak Ranking: 2 Record for the decade: 35-0-1 Ranked for: 53% of the decade

    03 - Tyson Fury
    Peak Ranking: Champion Record for the decade: 21-0-1 Ranked for: 52% of the decade

    02 - Anthony Joshua
    Peak Ranking: 1 Record for the decade: 23-1 Ranked for: 48% of the decade

    01 - Wladimir Klitschko
    Peak Ranking: Champion Record for the decade: 11-2 Ranked for: 64% of the decade

    I'd probably put Ruiz over Parker and Whyte, otherwise I agree

    Yeah, you're absolutely correct, one moment.

    Ah, that was his record at the end of 1999.

    Defo nothing wrong with that, especially given how close their fight was.

    Whyte edges Pulev clean for top men. Pulev's best scalp is Tony Thompson I think, though tbf, I can't remember where Chisora was when those two fought. He and Adamek were the other two I thought about. You could take out Parker and Whyte and pop those two in without making me feel sad.

    It's two eras really. 2016-2025 could be good if they sort their **** out.

    Yeah… I can't wait to see, if Usyk can handle the big boys. Also young Debois looks promising.
