Fabio Wardley ranked #2 by Ring

Those rankings show how bad the division is. Itauma 9? Really? He looks good but how many fights does he have?

 

I know it's utterly pointless now and Fabio deserves better, but wouldn't Hrgovic v Wardley be an absolute banger?

 

Fury is "retired" why is he there?

 

Nobody believes him so he will probably be out of the rankings after 12 months of inactivity.

We're in the transitional period. If you look at early 50's there weren't many class heavywights either.

 

Fair placement. He's the WBO & WBA Interim title holder. I have him behind Kabayel and over Fury.

 

He beat the guy who was by far the most proven behind Usyk and on a great run... He deserves to be there.

Kabayel and Dubois are realistically interchangeable, but Dubois coming off a loss slotting in behind is fine by me.


If Fury's going to be on there on past merit alone, and without having won a fight for 2 years now (and that was Ngannou... Add another year if you want to go back to Chisora) then Joshua should probably still be on there - as poor as he looked against Dubois, he still has a more recent win at gatekeeper level regardless of where you place Ngannou.

I'm fine with leaving both off, but if ones going to be on there then they probably both should be.

 

The Ring ratings used to be meaningful. They are not anymore.

 

Interesting fight. Hrgovic's chin is crazy but I can't say the same about stamina.

I think it would be similar outcomes to Wardley V Huni/Parker. Hrgovic has a good one two that will win rounds, but not enough power to trouble Wardley enough.

 

What would you change?

Do agree Fury shouldn't be number one defo though.

 

And he's still too high!

 

Parker should be a little lower but it's a reasonable list. AJ isn't on it; surely he should replace Ajagba?

 

Seems fair to me. What a crazy world we live in... imagine if Fury and Wardley duked it out next.
