    Pretty average resume? I'm talking as whole, its weak by the standard of tenured champions. And yes he beat old ranked me too. Glad we agree on things.

    Wallin is another example of a fighter who is rated highly because he wasn't stopped and blown away by one of the elite guys, did arguably well enough to make it close on the cards and even landed some good shots which lead to a nasty cut. Rating a fighter based on one fight is just ridiculous. There was a lot of recency bias with him after the Fury fight. Wallin is solid. Nothing special though.

    Nothing special for sure. He deserved the title shot far more than Chisora. Why wasn't he considered?

    Well than you disagree with facts the Fury hasn't defended his belt much and has selected weak opposition when defending it. Isn't that correct?

    No Mendooza

    I just disagree about him regularly giving title shots to old men like you claim

    Facts are, he has officially given just the one

    Well by your " facts " he only has fought two different men for his belt title defenses. What is your definition of old and who did he face? I'm curious? Theses opponents were not always in shape either.

    You may call his title defenses average as a whole, I differ and say he fought old men and non top 10 men besides Wilder since winning his belt vs an old ( 39 ) Wlad Klitschko. One title defense that mattered. An epic fail for a long standing champion.

    Why be so elusive Wiz? Why don't you answer my questions? I see you've gone low to name calling. Have you posted under a different name before?

    He has few title defenses and fought old and unranked men post Wlad ( 39 ) who was also old. He's also guilty of using steroids as a pro. That what I'm saying. You are free to disagree with the facts.

    We won't but no Hrgovic who has beaten better fighters and is undefeated? Dubois looked awful in his last fight. Not a bad top ten based on RIng ability, age and accomplishents.

    I see it like this.

    1A Usyk
    1B Fury
    3. Winner of Wilder vs Ruiz
    5. AJ
    6. Joyce
    7. Hrgovic
    8. Parker
    9. Sanchez
    10. Jalolov

    Some guys are on the way up, some on their way down. This top 10 will change. On deck is Anderson, Zhang and Baloke. Not good depth clouds the rankings and age in some fights clouds it further. Lucky for us talent is on the way up!
