    Deontay Wilder has not won a meaningful fight in five years, and only won once in five years.

    Wilder is crap and we all know that now but Zhang has no head movement and styles can at times make fights.. I see Wilder taking him out inside the first 2.

    And you have every right to that and you have every right to answer this question as you like. I think Parker has beaten better comp in the last year.

    1. Usyk
    2. Parker
    3. Kabayel
    4. Joshua
    5. Fury
    6. Hrgovic
    7. Zhang
    8. Dubois
    9. Joyce
    10. Wilder

    Purely based on their respective records over the last three or so fights. I'm not tying my rankings to fights that happened years ago.
    Ruiz Jr. is innactive otherwise maybe at 7.

    You know, I like you as a poster, but I am curious as to your justification for keeping Wilder so high when he has only won one squash match in five years. Just asking.

    Ahahahaha. This will happen and i would laugh at this post. AJ will take Parker head off now. Different league. AJ is becoming 3x time World Champion in September.

    Funny. That's what everyone thought Wilder and Zhang would do. AJ would get wrecked by both.

    I'll admit I'm basing it on more his past achievements and performances than his recent ones. I don't think he's completely done like some after the Parker loss, I favour him to beat Zhang and if that's the case then I find it hard to justify ranking Zhang above him. Hrgovic's only accomplishment to date is beating Zhang and Joyce lost to Zhang so again hard to justify ranking both of them above him in my opinion.

    Kabayel's recent run was over two hype jobs who really are not proven at all and I still think Dubois is very average and would lose to Wilder and his resume is even worse than Wilders.
