    Looking at Boxing News HW rankings

    1. Anthony Joshua
    2. Deontay Wilder
    3. Kubrat Pulev
    4. Joseph Parker
    5. Hughie Fury
    6. Carlos Takam
    7. Dillian Whyte
    8. Tony Bellew
    9. Dominic Breazeale
    10. Jarrell Miller

    Joshua in 20 fights had beaten undefeated Whyte and undefeated Breazeale on that rating as well as Takam and is fighting undefeated Parker next.
    Joshua was also due to fight Pulev.

    With this in mind and noting the fight between Wilder and Ortiz tonight. With Ortiz not being rated in this ranking. How big a HW fight do you feel that match up is?

    Is it a big match, are you hyped by an 0?

    LORD have mercy.

    It is quite possibly the worst top 10 I think I've ever seen....where the hell is Povetkin?

    I'm guessing Ortiz and Povetkin are excluded, because they have both failed drug tests. Funny if Ortiz beats Wilder and becomes a belt holder, he will still be excluded because he failed a drug test.

    This is great! :lol:

    Look at "Shades of Ali" at 5 and "Carey Powah" at 8. No mention of Povetkin and Ortiz...

    Takam wouldn't be in anyone's top list if he never fought Joshua.

    No way should Pulev be there.

    The only 2 names on that list of any importance are Joshua and Wilder. Once Wilder knocks out Ortiz tonight and Joshua blasts through Parker at the end of the month they need to make the fight happen!!!

    Thats the shittiest reason I've ever heard.

    If that's the case why is Fury and Miller in it? I'm not being funny but both they have "failed" in the past.

    To this day I still say Pulev has some of the best management I've ever seen. This guy has consistently been ranked in the top 5 for over 6 years despite Pulev doing nothing since his destruction at the hands of Wlad several years ago.

    i wanted to get ogonuh in there but breazeale beat him so he cant rank higher than him although i think he is very talented just was naive in that fight

    basically its only a top 6 anyway i think the top 6 on form beat all the rest albeit haye is too injury prone.
