It is currently the following. Do you agree/disagree with these ratings? 1. Tyson Fury 2. Oleksandr Usyk 3. Anthony Joshua 4. Deontay Wilder 5 . Dillian Whyte 6. Joseph Parker 7. Michael Hunter 8. Andy Ruiz 9. Dereck Chisora 10. Kubrat Pulev 11. Murat Gassiev 12. Joe Joyce 13. Luis Ortiz 14. Agit Kabayel 15. Robert Helenius
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.
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.
Joyce is H2H top 5-6 Not sure what gassiev has done at hw Resume wise about right. H2H alot would be removed from top 15.
