    A case can be made for 4 or lower.

    Fury
    Wlad
    Povetkin

    All must rank higher.

    Then it's a mix of Jennings, Wilder, Pulev, couple of others.

    I agree with this, but why does so many rate Jennings so high? What have he done to be ranked so high? A loss, even to the best can't be a plus.

    Well it stands to reason that #1 and #2 are Fury and Klitschko, it's hard to argue they are anything other than that with the proof on hand. All that being beaten by one of those two proves is that he's not #1 or #2, there's nothing to say he's still not top 5.... as the odds are that ANYONE else not top two should lose to them too ;)

    He did get a gift win against Perez who hasn't feared well since. I had it a draw and that was after the point deduction which i felt was unfair. If that point wasn't deducted it would have been a draw on the judges cards.

    Well he holds wins over Perez, Szpilka, Fedosov, And a competitive loss to Wlad. Tupou and Liakovich are ok wins as well for an early up and coming fighter. He may not be top 4 but if he defeats Ortiz I think he is.

    Until we see him against others who are top 5 we don't really know.

    We know he can smash cans pretty good.
