    I think that before anyone answers this you should give us your top ten in all17 divisions since 2000. It's not necessary for you to come up with a bridgerweight top ten.

    Well, this is something I'm working on - but to do this conscientiously takes ages. First years to collect all the relevant fights, then watching it all - and and not only champions, but also relevant contenders - to see what was the real quality of opposition beyond the big fights. I'm able to handle maybe one division and one decade per year ).

    As example - here's my top 10 for the Super Bantamweight division since 2000 (So taking into account only what happend on January 1-st 2000 and beyond). It's based on resume, not my head-to-head assesment:
    1. Israel Vazquez
    2. Guillermo Rigondeaux
    3. Oscar Larios
    4. Marco Antonio Barrera
    5. Celestino Caballero
    6. Naoya Inoue
    7. Stephen Fulton
    8. Manny Pacquiao
    9. Rafael Marquez
    10. Toshiaki Nishioka

    Honorable mention to Frampton and Donaire.

    Are you just mad at including Tony Bellew etc..


    Maybe Mormeck or Briedis could have filled the #5 spot..

    Maybe but it's more effort than you've put in tbh so criticising unless you are going to come back with a better list is a bit pointless imo

    Tony Bellew isn't going any lower.. but maybe Cunningham.. Mormeck.. Briedis.. maybe deserves to be above Gassiev.

    That's not to say I think Fury would beat Joshua.. it's just what he's done up till now puts him there.
