Hi, I was just wondering people's opinion on these Heavyweight contenders: Efe Ajagba Jermaine Franklin Daniel Dubois Derek Chisora Carlos Takam Zhilei Zhang Luis Ortiz Otto Wallin Frank Sanchez Filip Hrgovic If possible can you rank them from 1-10
1) Frank Sanchez - Undefeated. Good win over Ajagba. Could become champion in a few years. 2) Luis Ortiz - May be 43 but has put up good performaces against Wilder and Ruiz recently. 3) Filip Hrgovic - Only scraped past Zhang. 4) Zhilei Zhang - Could upset Joe Joyce, but has never beaten a top opponent so far. 5) Jermaine Franklin - I thought he deserved the decision against Whyte 6) Daniel Dubois - Only 25 and will improve. 7) Efe Ajagba - Good 8) Otto Wallin - Very average 9) Derek Chisora - Wins over Pulev and Takam are quite impressive, however he has 13 losses on his resume. 10) Carlos Takam - Good win over Tony Yoka recently, however he is not on the level of the other boxers on this list.
Derek Chisora Filip Hrgovic Luis Ortiz Zhilei Zhang Carlos Takam Daniel Dubois Otto Wallin Frank Sanchez Efe Ajagba Jermaine Franklin
Right now, purely H2H: 1. Zhilei Zhang 2. Filip Hrgovic 3. Frank Sanchez 4. Efe Ajagba 5. Luis Ortiz 6. Derek Chisora 7. Carlos Takam 8. Daniel Dubois 9. Jermaine Franklin 10. Otto Wallin Very fun to rank. Good list of fighters.
1. Zhilei Zhang (Close fight against Hrgovic but I had him winning it) 2. Filip Hrgovic (bad performance against Zhang, but external factors preceding the fight means I expect better next outing) 3. Frank Sanchez (dark horse) 4. Otto Wallin (well schooled, big, southpaw) 5. Luis Ortiz (this might be too high, he gets hurt too often now) 6. Jermaine Franklin (the guy is tough and can clearly fight) 7. Efe Ajagba (got that big right hand) 8. Daniel Dubois (his resume is quite awful) 9. Carlos Takam (renaissance man) 10. Derek Chisora (doubt he can repeat that KO against Takam now)
aren't you the resident ******? dubois, wallin sanchez ajagba arew all there abouts. All done **** all
1. Filip Hrgovic 2. Frank Sanchez 3. Zhilei Zhang 4. Jermaine Franklin 5. Luis Ortiz 6. Derek Chisora 7. Otto Wallin 8. Daniel Dubois 9. Carlos Takam 10. Efe Ajagba
1. Hrgovic - though I had him losing to Zhang 2. Zhang 3. Sanchez 4. Dubois - gets too much hate nowadays, hes a very good prospect 5. Franklin 6. Ortiz 7. Chisora 8. Takam 9. Wallin 10. Ajagba
Let me preface this by saying I only think Hrgovic and Sanchez are in the HW top 10. (I had them at 8-10) Hrgovic Sanchez Dubois Chisora Takam Franklin Ortiz Wallin Ajagba Zhang. But if you asked me next week, the order would probably be different
Put them all in a bag shake, then draw them out. There's not a lot separating them except age for a couple of the fighters
1) Sanchez 2) Hrgovic 3) Zhang 4) Wallin 5) Franklin 6) Ajagba 7) Dubois 8) Takam 9) Ortiz 10) Chisora Rough list to rank and I'm not married to some of these picks. A few of these guys are really long in the tooth so they are teetering on the edge of shot and completely shot. Franklin I feel competed with Whyte well and showed heart against AJ. I hate having Sanchez so high here, Hrgovic should of fought a few contenders by now, Zhang can bang but he's "39".
The best list I've seen so far. I wouldn't put Wallin that high as the guy seemingly never fights. Not sure Chisora should be on the list, only thing he has going for him is the lucky punch he landed on Takam when Takam was beating him from pillar to post. Sanchez is very talented, question with him is can he beat the Cuban jinx that seems to get every Cuban heavyweight. Though Ajaba lost to Sanchez, he got right back to work, showing a lot of character. Dubois is too fragile, as is Ortiz is now. I think Franklin has peaked, he will always be a "close but no cigar" fighter. Takam is the toughest SOB of them all. Hrgovic is missing the "it" factor, doesn't seem to have the natural strength he needs
