    Torrez has at least as much of a case to be in there as Joshua does.

    Joshua's case is way in the past, though and it seems you guys either want british faces in that top ten or faces you know and have grown accustomed to.

    Torrez actually won his fights and with vianello he has a pretty good win in there. He didn't go fight a youtuber after totally disappearing for a year after getting blown out and completely dominated.

    Still it is unfortunate that torrez enters the list not because he has such a strong resume but because the rest of the resumes are so weak. People need to fight each other.

    But Joshua out of the list is well deserved.

    Personally I'm not overly fussed as it's all a load of bollocks anyway
    But if that one solitary average win and not even a very convincing one trumps a fighters history (these rankings have always taken that in to account) then that just proves my point about them being a load of tosh

    "US Brits" just wanting AJ on there is a quite bold statement too and I'd really like to see examples of British posters going over the top with AJ and his achievements if possible
    If anything the British forum is harsh as hell on him, and the main forum isn't exactly high on him

    Even myself I'm not a huge fan

    Basically Torres is pretty crap imo and yes I'd rather see a decent fighter with a sub par year ahead of dross like that

    Has there been any news on Big Bang Zhang’s next fight?

    With such poor calibre fighters at present, who Are the 10above him? Fury is classed inactive as should any fighter who has not fought in 12months.
    I’m neither for or against AJ being in the top 10, I struggle to be interested enough in 10heavies at present. That includes, AJ fury and wilder.

    People are always overcritical over the heavyweight division.

    Especially nostalgia biased American fans (or big fans of the American dominated periods at HW)

    No matter how healthy the division is, they'll always claim it's weak.

    Fury probably was dropped because he hasn't beaten a ranked opponent in more than 3 years, ditto with Joshua
