    1. Fury
    2. Usyk
    3. Wilder
    4. Zhang
    5. Joyce
    6. Joshua
    7. Hrgovic
    8. Ruiz
    9. Ortiz
    10. Wallin

    The whole division is pretty weak though honestly, anyone could be number 10. But the top 9 are pretty clear-cut (even if people have them in a different order).

    I had Joyce at #4, so Zhang takes over the spot.

    Uysk
    Fury
    Joshua
    Zhang
    Ruiz
    Wilder
    Hrgovic
    Joyce
    Nine and ten are extremely subjective, maybe...
    Sanchez
    Bakole

    Did better than Joyce V Zhang but still lost.

    It's really difficult to judge somebody who's career highlights is a half decent performance Vs Zhang.

    I disagree with the order, but we have the same top eight, and both have trouble with 9 and 10. I do see your logic.

    Losing badly doesnt alter his positioning. What will?

    I think those 8 are a level above everybody else but it's hard to order them because Furys only fought 1 of the other 7. Wilders fought 1. Usyks fought 1. Joyce has fought 1. Ruiz has fought 1...

    Only Zhang and Joshua have fought 2 of the "top 8". Shocking really.

    Depends how you are ranking them, on who you think would beat who or actual resumes.

    Top 2 is easy Usyk and fury. AJ has to be 3rd based on resume.

    The rest put them in any order you want they could all beat each other.

    Fury
    Wilder
    Usyk
    Joshua
    Zhang
    That’s my top 5 the next 5 on the list could be anyone and anybody. Joshua looked poor in his last fight but I think after Joyce’s performance tonight,Joshua beats him so placed him at no4 on my list .

    Losing to more top fighters...

    The issue we have in this era is that the top 10 or 15 don't fight each other.

    You can't rank fighters when they have only fought 1 other top 10 opponent each.

    Of course Ruiz is over Zhang…narrowly losing to Hrgovic and beating Joyce doesn’t put you ahead of someone who’s been world champ and has a much better resume.
