    Good video, enjoyed it.
    Agree with all apart from Ortiz, he should be lower.

    Why does Wallin rate so highly on all these lists ? He isn't even above Chisora or Franklin.

    Great vid as always. The top 5 I'm 100% with you and after that I absolutely agree that they don't fight enough, and especially against each other, to really know how to place them. E.g. I'd have had no idea where to place Sanchez, number 10 seems fair but you could have said 15 and I wouldn't argue.

    It's a real shame that no heavyweight has emerged to disrupt the "big three" (Fury, Wilder, AJ) in over half a decade. Someone from the cruiserweight category had to show up. If it's the best that Andy Ruiz has produced in 6 years; then this is a really weak era.

    Good video. I would not have Ortiz in the top ten. I also would have Joshua a peg or two lower.

    Good video as always.....

    It really irks me to have Fury at no 1...... Not because his resume does not justify it.... Just the duck that is jerking everyone around still gets credit....

    Out of your top 15, only 2 or 3 of them will still be boxing 2 - 3 years from now and that's really concerning if you're a fan of the sport.

    Whyte and Ortiz should be lower, Parker a bit higher. Otherwise I agree.

    I think Parker would now KO Whyte and Ortiz.
