Hipefully the last time I make this list without tyson fury for a very long time. If he beats Pianeta and doesn't look terrible, I'll consider him active and probably move him up to #3. For now: 1. AJ 2. Wilder 3. Povetkin 4. Ortiz 5.Whyte 6. Parker 7. Miller 8. Pulev 9.Brazaele 10. Chisora If Jennings beats Dimitrenko this weekend, I'll probably return him to the list as well.
My Top 10 RIGHT NOW: 1. Anthony Joshua 2. Deontay Wilder 3. Tyson Fury 4. Luis Ortiz 5. Alexander Povetkin 6. Dillian Whyte 7. Jarrell Miller 8. Joseph Parker 9. Andy Ruiz Jr. 10. Dereck Chisora I do not rank Dominic Breazeale and Kubrat Pulev right now as they both haven't fought this year, Pulev even inactive for 16 months.
1. AJ 2. Wilder 3. Povetkin ( only above Ortiz based on resume ) 4. Ortiz 5. Whyte 6. Parker 7. Tyson Fury ( in top shape i have him at number 3 ) 8. Jarrell Miller 9. Kubrat Pulev 10. Dominic Breazeale
1. AJ 2. Povetkin 3. Whyte 4. Parker 5. Wilder 6. Miller 7. Ortiz 8. Breazeale 9. Kownacki 10. Chisora
That's fair about Pulev. I go back and forth about whether to include him, but now he has a fight scheduled so I lean the other way.
Good list when counting Fury as active. Agree on the Ortiz caveat. Where would you rank Chisora on a top 15 list?
11. Hughie Fury 12. Dereck Chisora 13. Carlos Takam 14. Andy Ruiz jr. 15. Adam Kownacki Hughie Fury i would rate above Chisora because he is younger and would beat him H2H with his style. I still think Takam is a better fighter than Chisora and Chisora got a bit lucky, Takam fought a very stupid fight but Chisora beat him so i have to rate him above Takam. Andy Ruiz jr. is the better fatman compared to Kownacki, he is a lot faster and has better ability but Kownacki has a bit more power.
I looked at the Boxrec top 10 heavies yesterday & agreed with who they had (although not the order). Mine (noting that I only recognise the lineal champ): C - Tyson Fury 1. Anthony Joshua (IBF, IBO, WBA & WBO champ) 2. Deontay Wilder (WBC Champ) 3. Olek Usyk (Undisputed Cruiser Champ) 4. Alexander Povetkin 5. Luis Ortiz 6. Jarrell Miller 7. Dillian Whyte 8. Tony Bellew 9. Dominic Breazeale 10. Joseph Parker I don't think anyone else deserves being ranked ahead of those on my list. I'll rank Parker higher when he starts winning again.
Rough estimate of 11 to 25: 11. Adam Kownacki 12. Andy Ruiz 13. Kubrat "Sore Shoulder" Pulev 14. Hughie "Big Cat" Fury 15. Dereck Chisora 16. Bryant Jennings 17. Tony "No Joke" Yoka (Olympic Super Heavy Gold) 18. Joe "Jockstrap" Joyce (Olympic Super Heavy Silver / Commonwealth Champ) 19. Filip Hrgovic (Olympic Super Heavy Bronze) 20. Daniel "Yeah, it happened" Dubois 21. Trevor "Big Trev" Bryan (WBA Interim Champ) 22. Michael "The Bounty" Hunter 23. Manuel Charr (WBA Regular Champ) 24. Ivan Dychko (Olympic Super Heavy Bronze) 25. Junior Fa
Usyk has never fought at hw & Bellew beat an injured Haye then a shell of injured Haye & both are in your top 10?
Good list i have almost the same names but in different order. Imo Hrgovic, Teslenko and Joyce would batter Manuel Charr already any day of the week. 16. Hrgovic 17. Teslenko 18. Joyce 19. Jennings 20. Yoka/Dubois Those guys round up my top 20.
