    That's fine but rankings are not based on hypothetical head-to-head matchups. The fact is, Wilder has done more and beaten better opposition than has Joshua...

    I don't think there is as much in it on the CV front as people might admit.

    Head to head Whyte, Martin and Breazeale would only be slightly below ill Stiverne, Duhaupas and Szpilka in my book. They'd actually make good fights head to head.

    I don't count Arreola as anything the guy is beyond shot and Molina will be a **** win for both.

    Well at least we'd find out where Hughie stands in that fight.

    That was THE WORST **** ever. I've never been so sad for a bout ever.

    Imagine what Maravilla at his prime woulda done to Cotto at 60.

    1. Joshua
    2. Wilder
    3. Parker
    4. Wladimir
    5. Ortiz
    6. Povetkin
    7. Ruiz
    8. Pulev
    9. Browne
    10. Haye

    If Tyson Fury was not in his self imposed time out I would have him at #4 and Haye would be out.

    LOL!
    This site is a trip!

    At this point in time, How can any sane person rate Joshua, Wilder or Povetkin over Vlad or Fury? Only on ESB!
    Even after Wilder demolishes Povetkin, I still rate him below Fury until he meets and defeats Tyson. Same goes for Vlad. Once Wilder whips his ass, there is no dispute.

    Ruiz being anywhere near the top 10 is laughable.

    Even at #10? This s a down time in heavyweight boxing. Would you rather insert Browne?

    He hasn't even beaten a top 50 HW. What has he down to earn that spot? Brownes resume is better, but calling him top 10 is a stretch as well. He had to dig deep to beat a old fat and shot Chagaev while more than likely being juiced to the gills.
