Fury’s are a joke, nowhere near!

povetkin looked bad lastnight tbh whyte may even beat him at this point.. depending on how haye looks vs bellow he jumps up to #5 if looks really good in my opinion..

 

For the sake of simplicity/consistency this is based purely on resume and not H2H ability:

C) Vacant. I think Tyson beats the lot but with no fight scheduled he's just a guy sitting on nearly three years of inactivity and two reneged upon retirements.

1) Joshua.

2) Wilder.

3/4/5) Any order of Povetkin, Parker and Ortiz. Arguments can be made for/against all of them.*

6) Pulev. Activity and level of opposition has been waning but I still consider him the gatekeeper to the top 5, on skill level if nothing else. Would comfortably be the best name on the resume of anybody below him.

7/8/9) Any order of Whyte, Breazeale and Miller. Once again arguments can be made for them all.**

10) Ruiz? The gap in resume between the three names above and the rest of the contenders is quite significant. Other than Andy I'd say Takam, Jennings and Kownacki probably have the best claim and I'd give all of those guys a very good chance against anybody outside the top 5.

* Povetkin definitely has the deepest resume by a country mile but has looked quite faded since his PED debacle. Really should have KO'd Hammer.
Parker has the most relevant run of wins with Takam, Ruiz and Hughie all on his ledger but he arguably lost two of those fights.
Ortiz has the best individual win of the three with his demolition of Jennings but has been quite inconsistent other than that and - like Povetkin - a significant factor in his prior repuation was likely down to PED usage.

** Whyte has three good albeit faded names in Chisora, Helenius and Browne on his resume but arguably lost to Delboy and was utterly uninspiring against the big Finn.
Breazeale has a great win over prospect Igonoh but was well on his way to losing against 44 year old Mansour before a one in a million fluke injury bailed him out.
Miller has looked the most consistent and convincing in his career thus far but lacks the marquee win that Whyte and Breazeale have over Browne and Igonoh respectively, and Duhaupas won't change that.

 

As T Fury, Haye and Bellew have not been active and because I base ratings on resumes rather than hype I would probably go with order below but agree that after Joshua it is debatable.
Wilders overall resume and record is impressive but I think several other HWs have greater singular wins.


Joshua
Pulev
Povetkin
Parker
Wilder
Whyte
Breazeale

I find anything after this (8,9,10) fairly debatable with Ortiz, Miller, H Fury, Hammer,


Fury, Bellew and Haye would be in ratings if active

 

1. Fury
2. Joshua
3. Wilder
4. Ortiz
5. Parker
6. Pulev
7. Whyte
8. H Fury
9. Povetkin
10. Brezeale

 

C - Tyson Fury (I only recognise the lineal championship.)

1. Anthony Joshua (IBF, WBA, WBO & IBO)
2. Deontay Wilder (WBC)
3. Olek Usyk (WBO & WBC Cruiserweight)
4. Alexander Povetkin
5. Joseph Parker
6. Big Baby Miller (Don't go to sleep on this guy. Especially if he gets to fight Joshua in Brooklyn.)
7. Luis Oriz
8. Real Deal Breazeale
9. Dillian Whyte
10. The winner of Hayefaker v Tony Bellew
11. Andy Ruiz (Landed more punches on Parker than Joshua did & had to travel to do it. Needs to get back in the ring though.)
12. Adam Kownacki
13. Kubrat Pulev (He may be able to beat some of the guys above him on this list but that doesn't count if he's not willing to fight them).
14. Bryant Jennings (Getting himself back in the mix.)

I said a while back the division looked the same to me as it did in 1987.

Joshua (IBF/WBA) W12 Parker (WBO) went to script - Tyson (WBC) W12 Bonecrusher (WBA).
