Corrected list: 1. Usyk 2. Wardley 3. Kabayel 4. Dubois 5. Fury 6. Hrgovic 7. Parker 8. Zhang 9. Ajagba 10.Itauma
Usyk Wardley Kabayel Dubois Parker Hrgovic Fury Ajagba Wilder (god, I hate to admit this) Torrez or Itauma Riakporhe and Okolie have between them have beaten no one of note. Bakolie complete fat loser Joshua is still a name but the last two years have not been kind, with only the youtuber win Zhang not fought in over a year, and last was a loss
I get taking Zhang off the list, but instead of Wilder, I’d put Okolie on there. He looked like a top 10 heavyweight against Lerena and Huni, whom I am really impressed by.
Fair play. I am a Wilder hater, but Chisora was on a hell of a run, so he earned his last shot in my book.
Someone has to explain the Riakpohre hype to me. This is a dude who lost to Chris Boring-Smith at cruiserweight. He didn't look all that impressive on Saturday when he was in there with a fat potato TKV. Way too muscular, his technique is severely lacking, and he ain't even a mover for a lighter HW.
If we want to have the objective HW Top 10 we need to compile rankings from as many independent ranking outlets as we can. Here's my compilation of the rankings by The Ring, TBRB, ESPN, Bad Left Hook, Top Heavyweight Boxing, BoxRec and SportsRankings: WORLD CHAMPION: Oleksandr Usyk Top 10 Contenders: 1. Fabio Wardley 2. Agit Kabayel 3. Tyson Fury 4. Daniel Dubois 5. Joseph Parker 6. Filip Hrgovic 7. Moses Itauma 8. Efe Ajagba 9. Anthony Joshua 10. Murat Gassiev Remaining contenders ranked in Top 10 rankings: Martin Bakole Lawrence Okolie Andy Ruiz Jr Richard Torrez Jr Brandon Moore Richard Riakporhe Deontay Wilder Zhilei Zhang Looks good, but I would definitely take AJ out of the Top 10 and replace him with Bakole. My subjective Top 10 at the moment is: [C] Oleksandr Usyk 1. Agit Kabayel 2. Fabio Wardley 3. Tyson Fury 4. Daniel Dubois 5. Joseph Parker 6. Filip Hrgović 7. Moses Itauma 8. Efe Ajagba 9. Martin Bakole 10. Deontay Wilder
C Usyk 1 Wardley or Kabayel 2 Wardley or Kabayel After those it’s basically a pick ‘em,Zhang not fought for 14 month,Parker (ban ?) coming off a loss,Dubois coming off a loss,Fury back with a win,Wilder back with a win over Chisora no2 ranked IBF,Itauma with his biggest career win so far,Gassiev back with an impressive win over Pulev,Hrgovic back to winning ways,Ajagba ticking away in the background,Bakole not fought for almost 12 month,
Brandon Moore is absolutely nowhere near in the same category of those guys around him. Who has he beaten? He got smashed up in 5 comfortably by Torrez.
I'm a little bit of a fan of Brandon Moore as well but I agree, no where near the top ten........yet!
