    Top 5 heavyweights March 2024:

    1. Usyk
    2. Joshua
    3. Parker
    4. Fury
    5. Hrgovic

    Joe Parker should be ahead of Tyson Fury. During the past year, he's defeated 2 heavyweights who were rated in the Ring top 5 when he beat them - along with three other wins. Fury has fought just once during that time, and with fair judges, should have lost to a boxing novice.

    I’m not sure I’d have Parker rated so high. Good comeback story but truth be told he still looks quite vulnerable in the ring. I think if Zhang was aware he was behind on the cards and pressed the action he would’ve gotten the stoppage.

    Zhang act arrogantly after the first KD and that eat his head. I think he will go all out in the rematch, and the result maybe different. If Parker wins the rematch, oh man, he should be getting title shot, nothing else.

    Hell he even deserve it now.

    As far as the Ranking:

    Based on resume AJ is clearly number 1.
    Based on rating:

    1. Usyk
    2. AJ
    3. Parker
    4. don't care for the rest.

    Hrgovic disappoint big time, as he was offered big fights and he was given the choice to choose his opponent, and he decide to just sit on his mandatory.
    I'm 100% certain he is next for AJ and he will get smashed to pieces.

    Don't want to place Fury, as he lost to Ngannou and i literally had to place Ngannou in top 4, which is ridiculous. I don't care about official results if they are an obvious robbery.

    People are angry and upset with Fury and are throwing knee-jerk reactions. Here is my list:

    1. Usyk
    2. Fury
    3. Joshua
    4. Parker
    5. Hrgovic

    Fury had a terrible night against Ngannou, but he was overconfident, undertrained and did not take the fight seriously. He is definitely capable of more, although I think that Joshua will overtake him eventually.

    Fury/usyk
    Parker/Aj
    Hrgovic

    Parker and Aj joint for me
    Aj looks devastating, but against who?

    Fury was terrible vs Ngannou, but smoked chisora and whyte and is fighting the best In May, so for now they are joint number 1

    I can understand Aj being above fury,but Usyk??
    What are you basing that on considering he lost twice?

    His performances in his last 2 fights have been top notch,but beating franklin, helenuis wallin and Ngannou puts him ahead of Usyk now?

    Bit strange

    What’s strange? Joshua just demolished the combatant within 2 rounds that gave the current WBC heavyweight champion a split decision.

    But why would that put him over Usyk?
    Sure fury was in awful condition and according to this forum, he's rubbish anyway

    Like I previously said, above Fury? By all means,but extremely strange to place him above the guy who outboxed him twice and stopped Dubois, who is levels above wallen or Ngannou

    Franklin is a bum and he took ages to beat a bum that wilder finished in 1 round
     
    Usyk is the best likes this.

    Uysk - His wins over Joshua are better than any win Fury has had recently.
    Fury - His performance against Ngannou drops him down below Usyk at least for now.
    Joshua - He's the clear number 3, not even up for debate in my opinion, his resume speaks for itself and he has a win over my number 4 so he has to rank higher.
    Parker - Parker is at a career high, his wins over Wilder and Zhang raise him to my 4th spot.
    Hrgovic? - Bit of a question mark over Hrgovic's standing if I'm honest, he's the only one in the top 5 who hasn't been extensively tested. He could easily drop down or rise up depending upon how he performs when he does eventually fight someone good again.
