The division is wide open again after last weekend, so what's your HW top 5 after Wilder vs Ortiz II and Joshua vs Ruiz Jr II? Most publications didn't update their rankings yet (clear with Ruiz Jr still having 2 #1 sports) as only Boxrec did thus far. GBP/Ring 1. Fury 2. Wilder (WBC) 3. Ruiz Jr 4. Joshua (IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO) 5. Whyte TBRB 1. Ruiz Jr 2. Wilder (WBC) 3. Fury 4. Joshua (IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO) 5. Whyte PBO 1. Ruiz Jr 2. Wilder (WBC) 3. Fury 4. Joshua (IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO) 5. Usyk Boxrec 1. Joshua (IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO) 2. Wilder (WBC) 3. Usyk 4. Fury 5. Ruiz Jr
If I weren't at work I'd love to do a detailed write up about the top 15, giving my reasoning for some of the more finicky and difficult seperations. But for now I'll just say that the Championship is vacant because the guy that did hold it binged for three years, failed a drug test even retired twice, #1 is Tyson Fury for beating Wlad and getting robbed by Wilder, #2 is Joshua for having by far the deepest resume but not yet facing one of the other big guys, #3 is Wilder for beating Ortiz twice. #4 and #5 is a toss up between Whyte and Ruiz. #6 through #10 can be pretty much any order of Povetkin, Ortiz, Pulev, Parker and Hunter. Beyond that you have the likes of Chisora, Kownacki, Breazeale, Hrgovic etc etc. Haven't ranked Usyk for only having one fight, Miller will re-enter contention when he becomes active again. Joshua at #1 would also be acceptable given the fact that Fury only "drew" against Wilder on the official cards.
Top 5, I personally have 1) Fury 2) Wilder 3) AJ 4) Ruiz 5) anyone else out of Whyte, Parker, Ortiz, Hunter, Povetkin, Pulev, Usyk
1. Joshua 2. Fury 3. Usyk 4. Ruiz Jr 5. Hunter Where's Wilder right? Probably 7th for me (after Whyte who's 6th). All of the above beat Wilder, and probably others too!
Easy just copy and paste boxerec 1. Joshua (IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO) 2. Wilder (WBC) 3. Usyk 4. Fury 5. Ruiz Jr
Fury/Wilder/AJ are out on there own & top 3 order not sure. AJ's resume is by Far the best out of the top 3. 4-5 Ruiz & Whyte can not split atm Usyk I need to see him fight more in HWs.
Really?!? Seferi, decision against shot Pianeta, draw vs Wilder, Schwarz and a hard fought decision against Wallin. Not really the best result out of that group.
He’s not my favourite but I can’t deny he’s still unbeaten and while he always looks crap Vs poorer opposition, in his last big fight he clowned Wilder for 11 rounds
