    3 Ruiz
    4 Whyte
    5 Wilder
    6 Parker
    7 Povetkin
    8 Hunter
    9 Ortiz
    10 Rivas

    My comment is endorsed by the Ring Magazine, what's yours endorsed by? A post-it note with some of your doodling?

    Fair enough, they need to fight each other to etch the no.1 status in stone but having watched both careers closely, I think it's common sense who wins. My opinion of course but I find it a simple fight to call. Without the weight Fury throws AJ around the ring and bullies him, much like he did Wilder. With the weight AJ gasses after four or five rounds. Fury has almost every advantage bar punch power and speed but Fury's timing and IQ will nullify the speed while he's survived the power of Klitschko and Wilder who both hit harder than AJ. I think he'll beat AJ before a punch is thrown tbh. AJ likes things to run smoothly and a Fury fight build up is anything but smooth!

    Lots of people not including Pulev which I’m surprised by. His overall record is impressive imo. Although he’s slightly past his best now.

    I also found it difficult to drop Wilder below third.

    Some fights are easier to call than other and as said, I think this is an easy one to call. When I'm this certain about a fight, more often than not it's the outcome. Granted I've had more than my fair share of wrong calls but I wasn't as certain as I am now.

    All the points I made are very much valid which show Tyson is the favourite and should get the job done.

    Good shout with Ruiz. He would have Wilder in all sorts of trouble.

    Both have beaten a similar level of opponent. Both have lost to one of the top two. Both have looked in bother against fairly limited opposition.

    No huge difference between them really. Wilder doesn’t get extra points for winning a world title given he won it against Stiverne and defended it against deeply average opposition for years. Whyte would have probably won all those fights as well.
