    Glazkov lost to Malik Scott, why are people rating him above Jennings??

    Would be good to get a number 1 contender but the top ten still looks very weak

    I think it's actually alright. A healthy Haye and Helenius in the mix would help significantly, but a top 5 of Wlad, Povetkin, Fury, Wilder, and Pulev (put em in whatever order you like after Wlad and Povetkin) looks pretty good.

    Very close to how i have it. Bump Jennings to #5. Spilzka's victory over Adamek helps make Jennings' resume better than Glazkov's. I'd probably rank Tony Thompson ahead of Mike Perez.

    Speaking of Perez, turns out he fights Ding on 2/5.

    Fair enough. They probably weigh 190 on fight night and look like the boogeyman. I wouldn't mind watching them fight Lebedev, Drozd, or Huck.

    Wlad is the Champion. Has been for many years.

    That depends.

    On the merits of the action, that fight was a draw.

    The edge went Jennings on the basis of a point deduction that most agreed was unwarranted.

    Still, if we go by official results, he got the W and on that basis, is reasonably fairly placed.

    I would reverse 2 and 3 (Bermane is a better scalp than anything my favourite gypsy has taken so far).

    Apart from that, the list looks good.

    I like Solis, such a shame he can't stay in a good shape. Waste of talent

    According to the new Ring ratings, Wilder is promoted to #2, Stiverne went down to #6. Povetkin still #1, Pulev #4, Jennings #5.

    The Ring still has Arreola inside the top 10 for some strange reason, and obviously Takam is missing.

    So beating 32 tomato cans and 1 ranked guy who wandered around the ring like a zombie and barely swung back puts you above Perez, Cunningham, Pulev, Jennings, Charr and Takam? I know the HW division is a joke but come on.
