    In no way, shape or form is Bam Top 10 worthy or Bud number 1 worthy. ESPN at this point should be seen as the laughing stock they are.

    If Bam beats Estrada I think the number 10 spot would be justified. Personally Estrada should be number 10 for me. But I think ESPN are already expecting Bam to pull it off.

    The biggest joke is that Fury, Davis and Stevenson are on the list

    How the F are Stevenson and Tank so highly ranked?
    OK, I maybe get Tank being ranked somewhere, but Stevenson?

    I ****ing found it!

    ESPN had Wilder at nr 10 back in 2018. :lol: Their panel is a joke. It´s just American supremacists.
    I am genuinely amazed they even rank guys like Usyk and Inoue.

    Stevenson is not top 10.
    Not even his own family place him there.
    Joke list.

    Why Bam? For me Davis Stevenson and Fury are less deserving right now. Ioka Loma Teraji Junto and Estrada could all be there but Bam belongs too imo

    Haney no longer has a place in the Ring magazine's top 10 either and rightly do. Good, riddance he never deserved to be there in the first place after weight bullying the hell out of all those well past prime or shot to hell old leprechauns he's much or way bigger than, one of whom clearly beat him despite fighting him on an insanely stacked deck. The new entrant who has replaced him and now resides at the #10 spot is surprisingly Junto ''Pig Face'' Nakatani aka "Snitch." Why him and not four-weight champ Daddy Ioka?

    Neither do I he's just a gigantic weight bully with very good skills but he doesn't possess the supposedly amazing elite skills that so many DKSAB clowns believed he does, all of whom in their infinite delusion and idiocy not only believed he was on Loma's level and his level skill wise which is patently absurd but actually far superior. I'm not even joking :facepalm:

    I could probably name 20 current fighters whose skills are more impressive than his. He's a very good fighter but definitely not a special one

    It's an American site so of course it is going to be biased in favor of Americans. I'm surprised it's not worse tbh.

    This top 10 turns my stomach...................Only 4 of the fighters on here should even be on here...................

    Let's be real; Bivol, Beterbiev, Tank, Fury and even Shakur (who I'm very high on) have done nothing yet for them to be on this list. Neither Bivol nor Beterbiev have even conquered their division. Fury has been half retired for nearly a decade, Tank ain't even top 3 yet in his division............Shakur was #1 and moved up, but his best wins ain't shining as bright anymore.

    Inoue, Crawford, Usyk and Canelo have at least conquered what they needed to conquer. Even with the Bivol loss, Canelo belongs as he reached for the stars..........got shot down but it was a respectable efford.

    I'm not even going to bring Rodriguez up...............:ohno
