    Dubois gets outboxed by Fury rather easily....which does give Fury a chance now at undisputed status should Usyk foregoe an immediate trilogy fight IF Fury wins the rematch.

    Either way I'd still prefer both Fury & Usyk to retire in December given the decline I see in both of them.

    Usyk
    Fury



    DD
    Parker
    Kabayel

    Who cares about the other bums

    Edit

    This era stinks lol

    I have to remove Usyk from my top 30 all time p4p fighters. I must have seriously overrated him. He just looks decent compared to trash

    ...why Hunter? I thought he retired? He's not even an active HW.

    He beat Casssius Cheany in June, he is the WBA gold belt champ, his hame was mentioned for a WBA eliminator and him and Bakole talked about a rematch. Regardless of what anyone thinks of his recent work, he's on deck for a big fight, and, when Usyk retires, he might be in line or a shot at the WBA title.

    1 Usyk
    2 Fury
    3 Dubois
    4 Parker
    5 Zhang
    6 Kabayel
    7 Bakole
    8 Joshua
    9 Hrgovic
    10 Chisora

    I'm not being reactionary by dropping AJ to 8th, in fact I think it's quite generous. Kabayel and Bakole are both younger than him, have been in less wars and taken less damage. Kabayel outboxes and possibly stops AJ, Bakole brutally stops AJ. I would probably pick Hrgovic to stop AJ too, but we'll wait and see how Hrgovic fares on his return first.

    I can definitely see Dubois and Zhang chinning Fury given Fury's decline, for now though he gave Usyk a close, tough fight, and still has a more varied skillset than anyone not named Oleksandr Usyk so he remains at 2nd. Usyk-Fury II will give us more clarity

    Talking about fighting someone isn't grounds for being top ten, nor is beating someone I haven't heard of.

    The point is that he is now highly ranked.

    Like I said in the post, you can take it or leave it.

    You don't think Kabeyel contends with Zhang?

    In regards to H2H ability yeah but resume wise I think Zhang is above Kabayel for now.
