    Hopefully Dillian Whyte gets sparked out in his next fight and this silliness can stop.

    Your top 10 has the right people in there for me except Ortiz. I would swap places for a few and I agree Povetkin shouldn't be included at this point, which is strange because before the Whyte rematch I would of had him top 5.

    Remember guys, I said "top 3-9" are debatable. Meaning I'm aware it's highly opinionated, it's difficult to main a strong case that either of these should be higher than the other in most cases.

    There's a lot of inconsistency in the records of ranks 3-9, some haven't fought for a while, some haven't acquired a win for a while, some have a good record in regards to experience but have taken time off. It's difficult to rank people below #2.

    Some of you state Ortiz should not be top 10, but look at sorts of fighters outside of the top 10. You have the likes of Chisora, Helenius, Yoka, Hughie Fury, Pulev, Charles Martin etc.

    I think if you ask who'd win in a match between Ortiz and anyone outside the top 10, most of you would pick Ortiz to Whoop ass. Pick one fighter outside the top 10, and tell me which one you're convinced would beat Ortiz?

    Some of you point out the lack of a wins, but a performance can say a lot. How well do you think anyone outside the top 10 would do against Wilder?

    Ortiz pushed Wilder to the brink, which I think is something no one outside the top 10 could do.

    He got KO'd in 5. Ortiz took Wilder 10 rounds and almost KO'd him in 7. Washington has lost to Miller and Martin and kownacki

    But was schooling Wilder. Ortiz has stepped up twice in his pitiful career and been chinned twice. If Ortiz had faced Miller, Martin and Kownacki then he likely would have been twated

    Highly doubt that. Ortiz just shows so much more skill and ability. No one else has come as close to beating Wilder as Ortiz besides Fury.

    Chisora had fought : Vitali, Fury, A.J, Whyte, Haye, Usyk and now he will fight vs Parker.

    While Ortiz did not had fought well known in europe names. Only maybe Wilder ( he is not well known in europe cos only one well known in europe boxer he had fought was Tyson Fury ).

    Parker is more well known than Ortiz, he fought vs Ruiz Jr. in NZ and Ruiz had fought vs A.J 2X and Parker had fought vs A.J 1X.

    Povetkin should still be considered, he will recover in a few months, not sure he will continue though, still, the man deserves his respect.

    Ortiz body of work is too thin, his ability is deteriorating, he is no top 10 anymore. I would pick Hrgovic, Yoka, Kownacki to beat him today.

    IMO:
    1. Joshua
    2. Fury
    3. Usyk
    4. Ruiz
    5. Whyte
    6. Wilder
    7. Parker
    8. Hunter
    9. Joe Joyce
    10. Povetkin
