    Saw a fair few forum members still have Joshua in their top 10.

    Was it the dominant victory over Jake Paul that did it for them?

    I saw some training clips of Otto on instagram. He's looking mean and has the ferocity back. I'm positive he's going to punch holes through whoever dares step into the ring with him next.

    He is back in my top 10 now after seeing the training footage. If he manages to get a split decision over an inactive cruiserweight, say Dorticos, he may be as high as top 5 for me.

    I'm sure your comment there is tongue in cheek because Joshua was embarrassingly ordinary against Paul.

    I would guess

    Ruiz
    Pulev
    Wallin
    Helenius
    Franklin
    Ngannou
    Paul

    I would guess

    It doesn't look bad considering they weren't all world title fights
    Ruiz - unified world champion
    Pulev - world rated and only one loss in 29 fights
    Wallin - who was world rated. had only lost one fight and gave Fury a tough fight
    Helenius
    Franklin
