    If he gets at least one win against a quality HW, then sure, put him a little higher on the list. But for now, he's done very little to even make the list. Cleaned out the cruiserweight division? Good for you. Now play with the big boys.

    Agreed. Rivas shouldn't be there. Joyce should be.

    But Ortiz hasn't fought Aj so why bring it up in a rankings thread.

    Ortiz and Rivas have no business being on the list, Joyce and Pul3v should be there instead.

    Wilder shouldn't anywhere near that high and at the bottom of list.

    Considering they had Fury ahead of Wilder after their first fight due to the "should of been result" they ahould have Hinter ahead of Povetkin.

    No problem with Fury as nr. 1 (even though AJ certainly has a case as well), but I can't see him as champion. He has won every title, yes, but not made a defence in four years. Just as I won't call AJ a champion if he beats Fury but then doesn't make a defence in four years, I can't really call Fury one now. And Ruiz should be over Whyte and Ortiz. Why is Ortiz even ahead of Pulev? Pulev probably still deserves a place in the top 10, with his only losses against Wlad and AJ. Certainly with Ortiz at 5.

    Those are the apparent errors to me, the rest is alright I guess. It sure is better than the Boxrec one.

    :facepalm: Today's top 10 would massacre the 70s top 10.
