    copy/paste from the Rummy thread...

    I would remove Ortiz, as he doesn't really have much of a resume despite his age. Jennings, Scott and Hammer... that's it.
    You can say he outboxed and troubled Wilder in the two fights he lost to him, but so did the likes of Szpilka and Washington among others.

    Also, you might exchange Helenius for Pulev, as he didn't do much lately (Fury, Dinu and Booker doesn't amount to much) but is much more consistent as Robert, and I don't think many would favor Helenius over him if they go head to head.

    Good to see Sugar Robert Helenius cracking top10 lists after almost 10 years.

    I'd like to see Andy Ruiz successfully box a top 15 fighter within the next 12 months. Otherwise he ought to be dropped from the top 10.

    Happy to see Helenius in the top ten, but think Hunter or Pulev deserve it more.

    Ruiz at 4 and Helenius in a top 10 over Pulev is questionable . I think Pulev gets over looked I’d favor him over Ortiz who Hammer almost dropped. Usyk had a long lay off he’s an entire different fighter when he’s getting fights within months apart .

    1. AJ
    2 . Fury
    3. Hrgovic
    4. Wilder
    5. Usyk
    6. Whyte
    7. Povetkin
    8. Hunter
    9. Pulev
    10 Joyce / DDD

    For me .

    You definitely aren't alone. A lot of people were critical of Ortiz being included, and a lot of people seem to have preferred Pulev to Helenius as well (and quite a few shouts for Hunter).

    Helenius vs Ruiz would be fun

    if the Robert that turned up against Kownacki with fire in his belly it could be his fight again.

    speaking of Kownacki, who was he ranked highly with? Can’t see any of his fights being elimInators on boxrec as he had a good run beating Washington and Martin

    I enjoy your videos and this was no exception.

    I think your rankings are fair. I'd be tempted to include Hunter, more on potential than what he's done so far though. Though given Kownacki was both unbeaten and being groomed for PBC slaughter it seems fair to give Helenius extra credit for dispatching him on home soil.

    Wilder would be lower and Povetkin and Whyte higher. Wilder just got ko’d by Fury. After being outboxed by Fury- in between he ko’d a 40 plus year old fighter off steroids. I’d drop him to 5 on my list.
