    Kownacki or Jennings over Chisora and Wilder listed as 3. Not 1c. Otherwise good list

    I would put Ajagba at #5, until someone proves otherwise.

    My list:

    1. Joshua
    2. Fury
    3. Wilder
    4. Ortiz
    5. Povetkin
    6. Pulev
    7. Whyte
    8. Miller
    9. Parker
    10. Kownacki

    I realize that guys like Joyce, Hunter, Hrgovic, Ajagba could well beat some of those, but top 10 is more about achievement for me.

    1. AJ - still has the best resume, is here on merit

    2A. Fury
    2B. Wilder
    Fury shaded the fight on my card, but there's still doubt in my mind on who wins this rematch. Let's see it!

    Who ranks where out of these three right now is pretty irrelevant. I want to multiple fights between them over the next few years, a Wilder Fury rematch doesn't necessarily need to be next.

    (4. Usyk - he isn't here yet but will be when he steps up to heavyweight)

    4. Ortiz - I think his days at the top are numbered, but still is putting in solid performances in consistently, albeit at a low level of late
    5. Whyte - Has the most momentum out of all of the contenders right now, but maybe this is as high up as we will see him
    6. Povetkin - Here mostly on strong historical form. I want to see a big performance from him in 2019, otherwise he could be slipping out of my top 10
    7. Miller - A limited fighter, but also a highly underrated one imo. I expect he will be climbing up these rankings in the next 12 months and will surprise some people. However I also expect his time at the top will be brief, he will take a lot of punishment and will fall back down before long
    8. Pulev - His career seemed to be going nowhere a few months back, but an impressive win vs Hughie and he's now back in the picture. Let's hope we see Kubrat build on this and not hold that mandatory position hostage like he has been recently

    9. Parker - It's been a terrible year for Parker. I think he's better than this ranking but right now deserves to be no higher than 9th. Perhaps a new trainer needs to come in to fulfil that potential we saw in him as a prospect.

    10. Kownacki - Quite a few guys could be here. This level of the division right now is very tight with little to separate about 10 different fighters. Kownacki is here for two reasons. One, he has beaten a solid level of opponent and two, because I like him.

    I agree but he did get knocked out in last fight hard to put him over those guys

    I'd switch Whyte and Pulev. No other real complaint although the top three is very standoffish.

    Thanks. Ironically, I actually waivered on both those points. I figure Chisora probably loses in a couple weeks so give him his moment in the sun while his last fight is still the upset win over Takam. Then I'll move Kownacki into his spot.

    This is based on resume. H2H would look pretty different.
