    They are all feeding off bums and rarely if ever fighting each other, it's embarrassing.

    1. Joshua 20-0 fought some decent fighters, deserves his #1 rank.
    2. Wilder 40-0 (lol) Fought one good fighter.
    3. Parker 24-0 Only fought Hughie Fury, maybe Ruiz of top level talent really, and he's unproven.
    4. Povetkin 33-1 Lost to Klitschko badly, 1 or two decent wins. that's it.
    5. Ortiz 28-1 Fought Wilder, lost. 1 decent win vs Jennings.
    6. Miller 20-0-1 Fought nobody.
    7. Whyte 23-1 Fought Joshua and lost, nobody else.
    8. Breazeale 19-1 Fought Joshua and lost, nothing else of note.
    9. H.Fury 20-1 Fought Parker and lost. No one else.
    10. Ruiz 30-1 Fought Parker and lost. No one else.

    #1 Joshua has fight lined up against #3 Parker (good fight) But outside of that you got guys like #4 Povetkin scheduled to fight David Price. #6 Miller vs Duhaupas (why bother?). Hughie Fury fighting Sam Sexton, really?

    The best hws fight each other much less often now. It's makes it much more speculative than in past eras to firmly say who is the best. Especially after the top couple fighters. Realistically, AJ and Wilder will fight eventually, so we will know that one. But I'd love to see Ortiz, Sasha, Pulev, and Parker all fight. But not only will that not happen, we will be VERY lucky to even get a single match between two of them. So, who is really the best of the rest? We are just left with speculation.

    AJ beat Martin for his IBF title, Whyte&Breazeale are top ten. Takam is top 15 and he beat Wlad. Is about to unify against Parker for 3 of the 4 major belts, not bad for 21 fights if he wins.

    Perhaps add Takam and Dimitrenko to Parkers list. That would give Parker four top 15 contenders

    You do know AJ v Parker is about to happen right? And both are young and undefeated. You could argue that Ortiz and Povetkin got their shots at the title too late in their careers, they should have gotten the chance sooner. But they did both get their shot, despite both sabotaging their 1st chance and having ped issues, and we wont die wondering. Those boxers who really want to find out how good they are can do so, so long as they are with the right promoters. Just a shame the governing bodies arnt more aggresive endorcing good mandatory fights

    WTF are you talking about. AJs record is completely AWFUL. Up there with the worst ever for a unified HW champ. Nearly losing to 41 year old Klit coming off a dominating loss and a 2 year lay-off. Life and death with pish poor Dillian Whyte. Literally nothing after that. I'd argue Ortiz and Stiverne 1 are better than anything on AJs crap record.

    Fabio Maldonado, 25-0, 24KOs, needs a dance partner.

    Adam Kownacki, Trevor Bryan, LaRon Mitchell, and Trey Lippe are getting there.

    Agit Kabayel did whoop Chisora, but I'd like him to fight someone with a pulse too.

    Tyrone Spong needs to quit being a *****.

    Dinu and Wallin could step it up.

    I'd like to see Robert Alfonso against a live opponent.

    Chinese HWs, Dong I've not heard anything from in a while, maybe he died? Both Zhang's could fight someone worth a damn.

    Onoriode Ehwarieme could do as well, but his last was alright.

    Simal and Rivas both need a good fight, could be each other. I think Rivas tried in the past but can't see well enough to fight out of french canada.

    Loads of HWs protecting their 0. Basically anyone with one. It's been that way for a long time now. Povetkin was a ***** until he lost. Now he's just half a *****.

    Yeah, cause everyone wants to face AJ, it's the golden ticket. AJ may very well face all of them. But #3 to 7 won't face each other. They are able and willing to avoid each other much more than in the past. That means, while we can say with some confidence that Parker, Pulev, Povetkin, Ortiz are a step ahead of other contenders, we can't really be sure how to rank them among themselves.
