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

 

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

 

1. Usyk
2. Fury

3. Zhang
4+. Various protected hype brands and the rest.

Until Joshua beats someone like the top three, or even 'new Parker' he doesn't deserve any high ranking. People are living in the past. He ducked Wilder and Fury for years fighting an endless 'rebuilding' schedule. He's now fighting Dubious who was considered mediocre until recently.

Why is Zhang better than Parker? Because he KO'd Joyce twice while Parker got KO'd and because Parker point-fought a win against Zhang while getting hurt badly. Based on that Zhang seems more dangerous, though Usyk and Fury probably beat him easily.

 

1. USYK
2. AJ
3. PARKER
4. FURY
5. KABAYEL
6. DUBOIS
7. BAKOLE
8. RUIZ
9. ZHANG
10. CHISORA

Not sure how so many have Zhang top 5, the dude can only box for 5-6 rounds and his best 2 wins are 38 year old bums, & lost to another bum in Hrgovic.

 

Who has Fury beaten to be rated second?

 

Bakole vs Zhang. Please

 

1. Usyk - obvz.
2. AJ - think he beats Fury at this point, and still don't see how Parker beats him either
3. Fury - poor resumé in recent years, and despite having his moments lost quite clearly to Usyk.
4. Parker - Very good recent wins Vs Zhang and Wilder.
5. Kabayel - on great form lately. Great pressure fighter. Don't know if he beats Bakole, but it'd be very close, and Agit's recent form is better.
6. Bakole - think he beats Dubois handily, and just about gets past Zhang due to Zhang's freakishly poor stamina. Hype crusher by beating Anderson and Yoka.
7. Zhang - his power is trouble for any top 10, his stamina puts him in trouble against any top 10.
8. Dubois - nice recent wins, but eats punches and a big puncher (like AJ) will stop him.
9. Hrgovic - really needs a statement win after Dubois beating, clinging on based on rep and Zhang win, but not looking good for him.
10. Miller - a lot of people put Chisora here, but I see Miller (and even Ruiz) outworking him. Chisora had a great final hurrah against a suddenly shot-looking Joyce, but that's all it was. Miller looks resurgent. Could've beaten Dubois were it not for coming in grossly. overweight, and beat Ruiz imo.

 

he has won one semi meaningful fight his entire career.

 

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

I am rating Fury more on historical ability and how well he fought vs Usyk even in a loss. If we are just going off recent wins, Parker should out rank both Fury and Joshua but it might be a bit too much to rate him ahead of those guys right now. If Parker does beat Kabayel, however, i will consider moving him to #3 or even #2.

 

I agree with your reasoning so I'm just going to copy paste 1. To 9.

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

I kind of want to leave 10. vacant, but I think Miller's "draw" against Ruiz Jr. earns him the spot.
