    What about Ortiz? He got caught by PEDS too.

    He has at least served a ban for it and it wasn't quite as recent, I've lost count of the amount of recent tests Povetkin has failed. I'm not saying that excuses Ortiz by the way but at least he's served a punishment

    Why not? Which nine fighters would you have beating him?

    I'm with this but would trade 6 and 7 + a dedicated-ish Fury with 6 months lead in time would likely slot in somewhere, and Usyk even now could conceivably be anywhere on that list. Haye really needs a top ten win first IMO - as someone who has had shoulder problems myself I appreciate how difficult it is to really overcome shoulder injuries 100%.

    I'm pretty sure he tested positive for Meldonium pre Wilder and Ostrine pre Stiverne.

    He was cleared in the Wilder case you know this or should know this if you are to pass judgement.

    Cleared because there were only traces, the fact remains he was still on the stuff.

    Just like Lucas Browne you can sympathise with one failed test but 2 in quick succession is unforgivable for me.

    If you're putting all that aside I'd have Povetkin 3rd on this list
