Your current top ten heavyweights?

The only three that really mailer are...

1. Usyk
2. Fury
3. Joshua

If pressed, I go with the guys who have actually won important fights recently...really in no order....

4. Joyce
5. Bakole
6. Sanchez
7. Paint Dry Parker
8. Makhmudov
9. Ortiz
10. Chisora

Helenius- just outside
Wallin- just outside
Kossubutkiy- just outside
Hrgovic- fight and beat somebody, or **** off
Zhang- good luck to him against Hrgovic, I'll be cheering for him
Wilder- needs to win a fight
Whyte- needs to win a fight
Hunter- momentum has come to a crashing halt
Pulev- retire
Dubois-untalented muscleman who will lose to Chisora
Gassiev- love you man but fight someone
Demirizen- future gatekeeper

 

This list is objectively pretty insane but I love and agree 100% with the sentiment behind it.

 

1. Tyson Fury
2. Oleksandr Usyk
3. Anthony Joshua
4. Deontay Wilder
5. Joe Joyce
6. Joseph Parker
7. Andy Ruiz
8. Michael Hunter
9. Dillian Whyte
10. Otto Wallin
11. Luis Ortiz

11 just in case Tyson Fury doesn't fight again

 

My humble list:

1. Champ: Fury (obviously)
2. Usyk (undisputed CW champ, unified HW champ no loss)
3. Joshua (former unified champ, 2 losses)
4. Joyce (steady progress, undefeated, gonna be hard to beat unless you're a dynamic fighter)
5. Wilder (Fury may have beaten it all out of him)
6. Parker (Good, but not great, he won't beat the top, top guys)
7. Whyte (Good resume, but his level is clear, already lost to two of the top guys brutally)
8. Hunter (1 loss to 2nd best HW but looked real precarious lately, he might've already peaked)
9. Andy Ruiz (he's really close to no longer being top 10)
10. Luis Ortiz (he's really, "really" close to no longer being top 10)

 

Based on current ranking/achievement

1 T Fury
2 Usyk
3 Joshua
4 Wilder
5 Ruiz Jr
6 Parker
7 Joyce
8 H Fury
9 Wallin
10 Hunter


based on h2h the best...

1 Usyk
2 Fury
3 Hrgovic
4 Joyce
5 Jalolov
6 Makhmudov
7 Wilder
8 Joshua
9 Gassiev
10 Dychko

 

Yes that’s why everyone knows Douglas has a better record than Tyson.

 

Two important fights coming up. If Joyce looks good against parker then would be good to see him step up against AJ, Wilder, Usyk.

Both Ruiz and Ortiz need to win to get back up to be considered contenders again. Would like to see whyte fight the winner but doubt it will happen.

 

World Champion: Fury
1. Usyk
2. Wilder
3. Joshua
4. Joyce
5. Ortiz
6. Parker
7. Sanchez
8. Ruiz
9. Helenius
10. Whyte

Just Outside:
Dubois
Hrgovic
Makhmudov
Anderson

 

Agreed, and that's specifically why I noted Fat Andy and Ortiz in the 9th and 10th position. Whoever loses drops off

 

1. Fury
2. Usyk
3. Joshua
4. Wilder
5. Joyce
6. Wallin
7. Parker
8. Dubois
9. Whyte
10. Ruiz

 

1. Fury* / Usyk
3. Joshua
4. Wilder
5. Whyte
6. Parker
7. Ruiz Jr**
8. Ortiz
9. Joyce
10. Chisora / Helenius / Bakole

* Retired
** Inactive

By the end of September the list might look quite different:
Joshua v Usyk
Hrgovic v Zhang
Ruiz Jr. v Ortiz
Parker v Joyce

 

Why should Pulev retire after losing a close decision to Chisora in the UK?

 

Yes, and he fought Chisora only 7 weeks after a 10 round fight (if not a particularly difficult one).

Pulev doesn't seem all that willing to risk his chin now. Of course he was going to take big money to fight Joshua - a fight that was only ever likely to end the way that it did. But that fight aside, you'd have to go back to his first fight with Chisora in early 2016 to find a fight that actually looked dangerous.

Pulev has the advantage of having promotional contacts in both Europe and N. America but he's not really much of an A-sider in either. So, basically, he has to make his money as a gatekeeper for up & coming fighters. I don't think he'd be willing to fight heavy-handed fighters for good-but-not-great money. I guess we'll see.

 

Love that CST.

For me, Id put Hunter below Parker and Ruiz Jr mainly because of his performance In his last fight and Ruiz and Parker were relatively exciting.

Id put Whyte below Ortiz too because he loses to Ortiz In my opinion.
