    He's in my current top 10 but not for the last 5 years, he's not proven enough yet. I suspect he's fringe level contender or dangerous gate keeper level. Don't think he's top 5 material, but then l said the same about Whyte who proved me wrong.

    Aaah, my bad, didn’t get the criteria for your rankings at first. I agree then, not quite enough yet for Miller to crack the top 10. I’ve been impressed with him these last 18 months though.

    I believe he will be given a crack at Joshua next. I’m intrigued about that fight, and how Joshua will handle the pressure and volume Miller brings.

    Really surprised to not see a fighter of Birmane Stiverne's calibre in this list.

    Former WBC champion having fought for the title three times.

    He must atleast make the top 10

    Charles Martin
    Joseph Parker
    Dillian Whyte
    Gary Cornish
    Wladimir Klitschko

    I personally think Wlad, Joshua, Fury, Wilder are the only 4 names that should be in it

    I struggled with putting Stiverne in my list, ive never been impressed with Stiverne, he may of popped in to the other organizations top 10 ranking for a short period of time but it was only the WBC that really raised him up and the WBC have got a reputation for questionable placings within their top 15. rumour has it Charlie Z and Dom Breazeales son briefly made it in there for a short spell. Only stand out names on his resume are Wilder, who he lost to twice and Arreola.

    You should probably take off Ortiz. His big wins are a post-40, oft beaten Tony Thompson, and Bryant Jennings. If this is your standard, you have to add...

    Chisora
    Pulev
    Miller
    Browne
    Chagaev
    Adamek
    Martin

    Theres not enough room for guys like that bc only a few dominate the top and become a full force at HW.

    Out of the obvious ones I would probably include Ortiz ,only because he had Wilder nearly done and could potentially give most guys trouble...you also have Whyte not losing in 3 years on a much better run then the other guys.

    Joshua
    Klitchko
    Wilder
    Fury
    whyte
    Ortiz
    Parker
    Povetkin
    pulev
    Maybe Chisora ??

    some are retired some are still around this is the list going back 5 years not where they rate.

    Takam

    Stiverne and Pulev have no more right to be on the list than Martin or Wach
