Current state of the heavyweight division

I'm more than happy to justify any one of those picks.

It's not possible to respond meaningfully to generalizations though.

If you think you can do a better job, you're welcome to try.

 

I said I'm not biased based on nationalism & that's correct.

I'm always happy to give a Kiwi a leg up though. Plenty would say I'm being harsh on Joseph Parker not having him in the top 10. I'll move him back up when he starts winning again. Proving he's still the best h/w in NZ would be a good start.

If your biggest issue with my list is who I've got at #25, I'll take that as a compliment.

 

Don't see why it's a joke. The Ring had him in their top 10 after beating Haye but have since removed him.

I don't remove guys on a whim. Someone needs to beat them. If Usyk does this weekend, Bellew will make way & others will move up. How far he falls will depend on his performance.

If he wins, he'll move up. Usyk is a tough ask for anyone on the list.

 

He'll still be on it, but not likely top 10 after this weekend.

 

The cruiserweight division is nothing more than an apprentice h/w division.

Usyk has weighed in heavier for his first 15 pro fights than what Cassius Clay did for his first 15.

Cassius was the #2 contender for Sonny Liston's h/w crown after 15 pro fights.

Floyd Patterson, the #1 contender & former h/w champ, weighed even less.

 

Well, when you're finished raising your eyebrows & would like to take issue with some of my other picks, I will be happy to respond.

 

The point is clear whether you are willing to accept it or not.

I'm comfortable with Usyk as my #3 heavy.

It's preposterous to me to rank others above him.

He's clearly better than the guys ranked below him.

As in right now he's better. Hence the reason he's ranked where he is.
