Current HW Rankings

Parker over Dubois. Most people think the stoppage was dodgy and Parker was on his way to winning.

And who has Joshua beat in a year?

CHAMP Usyk
Wardley
Kabayel
Parker
Dubois
Hrgovic
Chisora (yup, sorry)
Gassiev
Joshua
Ajagba
Torrez
Itauma
Vianello
Okolie
Bakole


Really no need to go on after that, although I am a big fan of Labinot

 

No way AJ should be ahead of Parker or even Hrgovic for that matter

 

That's more or less the way I'd have it, though I think AJ shouldn't even be in the top ten. He's had no notable wins in years.

 

1. Usyk
2. Kabayel
3. Wardley
4. Parker
5. Dubois
6. Hrgovic
7. Zhang
8. Ajagba
9. Bakole
10. Sanchez

11. Itauma
12. Chisora
13. Torrez Jr.
14. Huni
15. Gassiev

 

Why is Joshua even in your top 10?

 

1)Usyk
2)Kabayel
3)Fury (He will be removed if he is inactive again this year)
4)Wardley
5)Parker
6)Dubois
7)Zhang
8)Ajagba
9)Bakole
10)Hrgovic

Itauma, Chisora, Anderson, Torrez and Vianello are next up

 

Joshua is too high Parker should be above him he's beaten numerous top 10 ranked Heavyweights in the past few years and has been more impressive in recent years.

I'd put Joshua in the lower end of the top 10.

The rest of your list is fine although I'd put Chisora above Gassiev.

Chisora has wins over Joyce, Wallin, and Wallin beat Gassiev.

 

You say why is Joshua in the top 10 but why would Fury be so high up in your list aswell ?

Fury hasn't beaten a top 10 ranked Heavyweight since 2022 and arguably he could be 0-3 in his last 3 fights.

 

I would say AJ just outside the top 10 and Fury on the lower end of the top 10.

 

Because he lost twice to number 1 in competitive fights

Joshuas last 2 wins were against gimmick fighters

Joshuas last fight vs a legit opponent was a one sided beatdown loss

 

He hasnt held a significant win since 2019 (could be 2018 if you dont count the Ruiz rematch as a significant win cause its really only signigicant because of the 1st fight loss)

Got knocked out cold in a 1 sided, uncompetitive fight vs his only legit opponent in the last 3 years

Not to mention his abysmal showing vs Jake Paul

 

Losing to Usyk is all well and good but you have to go back to 2022 to find Fury's last win over a ranked top 10 Heavyweight in Dillian Whyte.

Add to the fact Fury had an awful performance against an MMA fighter prior to the Usyk fights.

I certainly don't think Fury warrants being in the top 3.

Dubois and Parkers list of wins in the past few years are much better than Fury's.

 

Fury has only lost to Usyk, and I think he still beats anyone else in the division at the moment so i'd still have him at number 2 tbh, but understand if some would have him lower due to inactivity.

Whereas AJ has to earn his way back into the top 10 because he got sparked by Dubios and struggled with Jake Paul of all people. Yeah he had a small run against Franklin, Wallin, Helenius and Ngannou but that's hardly top 10 material either (you could make a very technical case for Wallin I spose).
