    The Ring hasn't updated their rankings yet but they had it

    Champion: Fury

    1. AJ
    2. Whyte
    3. Bootleg D
    4. Ortiz
    5. Fat Andy
    6. Povetkin

    How on earth they had Ortiz over Povetkin I'll never know. Povetkin is far the superior fighter amateur and pro, far superior resume Ortiz's best win is Bryant Jennings), and Ortiz has been KO'd x 2 by a traffic warden.

    This is how the top 3 should look now

    Champ: Fury (gypsies run boxing)

    1. AJ
    2. Povetkin even though he's shot

    And take your pick for the #3 spot out of Fat Andy or D.

    Ruiz is the 3rd best, I think he would beat Povetkin up. Way too fast for the old Russian.

    I think I was the first to point out that Usyk is the real winner, because he beat Hunter pretty easily, who drew with Sascha, who just knocked out Whyte. but for me, you actually have to win a significant fight in the division. I would be very comfortable with...

    Fury
    Joshua
    Povetkin
    Usky-Hunter at 4 and 5 interchangeably.

    He needs to show that he can win his battle with obesity before he worries about fighting Povetkin.

    He is certainly in the top 3-5.
    One punch entirely changed his trajectory. I hope he gets a title fight next, he deserves it.

    Hey, I'm eleven inches in ten more inches but that don't mean jack for right now, Ovi. Let's keep it about the present.
