    How the hell is Hunter above Usyk, Ruiz, Wilder, Whyte?

    Seriously how? What has Hunter done at Heavyweight to justify it?


    Just ridiculous nonsense.

    What has Hunter done at Heavyweight that is more worthy than Ruiz Jr (former unified champion of the world), Wilder (Former WBC world champion), Whyte, Usyk.....?


    Give your head a wobble.

    Parker looked far worse v Chisora than Usyk did.

    Chill out bro, if you disagree that's ok. I put my reasoning in the thread, did you not read it?

    I think periods of time of inactivity need to be factored in here. You cannot just assume someone is still as good as they were, and if you're not fighting for a while or haven't won in like 2 years or something, that should be factored in. You can only keep your top spot for a period of time.

    I think what Hunter did to Povetkin in 2019 is more impressive than anything anyone else has done since then, besides Fury beating Wilder.

    Since July 2019, when he beat Oscar Rivas, Whyte has done what? Barely survived a win vs Wach? Lose to Povetkin to a shakey povetkin, and then beat post-covid Povetkin who looked like he'd downed a half litre of Smirnoff before the fight.

    Wilder has done what recently? Get whooped by Fury, and not fought since, and his best win was against Ortiz in 2019.

    Andy Ruiz Jr's win vs Joshua was 2 years ago now, he hasn't fought since, and looked bang average vs Arreola, almost getting KO'd in the 2nd round. Arreola is a top 30-40 fighter now, and nearly retired, who's best win came against Molina in 2012.

    Hunter beat Povetkin, don't care what the judges say, many people had Hunter beating Povetkin, and it was 2019 Povetkin who looked a lot better than 2020 Povetkin. So Hunter is at least the same level as Povetkin was at that point, and Povetkin was ranked 3rd/4th in 2020 after beating Whyte. (I don't give a **** what anyone says about Whyte winning 9/10, there's no way to know this).

    In reality the top 10 under Fury and Joshua are debatable.

    I do know that some fans think that he had also beated up Usyk.:nonono

    Btw, who Hunter had beated up at CW? Usyk according to some his fans?
    Hunter's CW resume is worse than Tabiti CW resume.;) Not alone Dorticos resume.
    His CW resume is worse than Cunningham's resume too, worse than Bellew etc CW resume.

    Hunter literally does have lesser credentials than CW boxer in Tabiti.
    1 reason why Hunter is high in official rankings is exactly draw vs 40 y.o Povetkin.
    2 nd reason: he at CW had lost only vs Usyk, loss vs future undefeated CW multiple orgs champ does not puts you out of 10 top in division.
    With Hunter's ranking at CW happened the same as vs Pulev and Povetkin after they lost vs Wlad cos Wlad was multilple orgs champ and ranked in top.
    If Hunter had lost vs boxer ranked below top 10 at CW or HW, then___________

    Looks that yeah.
    Before Eddie had reanimated Povetkin and contracted him to fight vs Whyte, Whyte had been ranked higher than Povetkin while Pov still was ranked in top 10. boxrec looks that had him as 6 th and Whyte as 4 th before their first fight vs Whyte.
    Draw ( I do know Hunter's fans better wished to see robbed on cards Povetkin and Hunter as winner ) vs Povetkin exactly is 1 fight that had put Hunter into TOP10 in boxing orgs and then also boxrec ranking list.
    Hunter really " climbed up " after this draw vs old Povetkin.

    The difference between the top 3 or 4 and the rest is scary
