    I've seen worse lists.

    Wilder is too high.
    Hunter is too high.
    Gassiev is way too high.

    As much as Joyce needs to step up, he could be a touch higher.

    I'd put Wilder above Joshua. AJ quit against Ruiz, that's the reality. No heart and no desire. Wilder kept on going, kept on thinking he could land the right hand and took an absolutely savage beating last night. There was no quitting there.

    Also bare in mind that Wilder landed some massive right hands frequently. AJ would be asleep on the floor from that shot he put Fury down with.

    Also Parker shouldn't be 6th. He had a pathetic performance against an old Chisora.

    Joyce should be higher for sure.

    Joyce would beat Parker, Whyte and Ruiz so he should be at least 6th.

    Gassiev is too high but other than that I don't see a reason to argue.

    Wilder coming off back to back stoppage losses, needs to be lower. No way around it. One loss ok you can say he lost to champ he doesn’t slide far he loses again by Ko he has to drop down to like 8th.

    Wilder lost his last three fights and is higher than I would expect. Plus he got sparked two times in a row. That will lower a fighter’s ranking. None of the guys in the top ten lost their last three fights and were legitimately KOd in their last two. He’s lucky to be on the list.

    Surely they should be judged on what they have done, rather than what you think they might do? On that score, Joyce is below all three.

    Parker and Hunter are overrated.
    Ruiz and Joyce underrated

    Sanchez should be on that list after last night's performance.
