    Kovalev's easily, because unlike Wlad he actually won and was robbed.

    Fair enough. I'll respect that.

    The one I hate the most definitely is Martinez/Cotto in the last 4 years.

    That was just terrible :llorona::vomiton22je:

    Fury is retired or suspended - nobody seems to know which - so he's not on my list.

    1. Wlad
    2. Joshua
    3. Wilder
    4. Parker
    5. Ortiz
    6. Haye
    7. Pulev
    8. Povetkin
    9. Whyte
    10. Chisora

    I'm open to swapping the Whyte vs Chisora loser out for Jennings or Ruiz it either do ok in their upcoming fights. I haven't seen Washington or Miller in with anyone of note to make a judgement on them yet, I think Stiverne is seriously shot and aren't interested in Hughie until he steps the **** up. Why isn't he facing the the likes of Price, Whyte, Del Boy or even Allen?

    That massively ****ed over anyone interested in the middleweight division.

    I like this list... But maybe I'd put Chagaev in there somewhere.

    There is no way in hell Joshua should be ranked ahead of Wilder. Put down the crack pipe...

    1. Tyson Fury
    2. Wladimir Klitschko
    3. Luis Ortiz
    4. Alexander Povetkin
    5. David Haye
    6. Kubrat Pulev
    7. Joseph Parker
    8. Deontay Wilder
    9. Anthony Joshua
    10. Andy Ruiz

    It's weird that I have two 'world champions' at 8 and 9 but I honestly don't think either would beat the seven I put above them. The heavyweight division has been a mess since Fury vacated. The best boxers in the heavyweight division don't have the titles that's the way I see it. Joshua and Wilder are paper champions they are lucky they haven't had to defend against a real elite heavyweight yet.

    I genuinely believe that Wilder gets obliterated in that match up.

    Ustinov is a good shout.

    I hear you but who has Pulev beaten to justify his level of hype? Or Ortiz for that matter? And old man Povetkin? He's up to fall off a cliff. He wasted his prime IMO.

    Not that I think he's great but with the current lack of depth outside the top 8, I think Ustinov stands a chance with the Ruiz jnr's, Duhapas', etc at the moment.

    I think Ustinov would be a good test to see where Joshua is currently.
