1.) Joshua (best single win and all ko's) 2.) Wilder (has a belt and legit power) 3.) Parker (belt and beaten good competition in unextraordinary fashion) 4.) Povetkin (seems to be cleared hopefully bigger fights soon) 5. Ortiz (undefeated, big punch and a good counter puncher) 6. Breazeale (a big lump with good power and is near impossible to keep down, very limited. 7. Pulev (a good scalp who is hanging on past his time) 8. Jennings (a couple of good wins and solid showings at top level) 9. Takam (tricky fighter who can compete but not quite win at world level) 10. Ruiz Jr. (Gave Parker a run for his money and nothing else) 11. Browne (limited puncher who needs to **** or get off the pot) 12. Miller (3 fringe wins and a loud mouth) 13. Whyte (remember that time he punched Joshua once) 14. Kownacki (another easy to hit lump that could entertain 15. Hammer (if only he could fight Price every fight)
Good list. Mine would be 1Aj 2wilder 3. Parker 4. Povetkin 5ortiz 6. Pulev 7. Miller 8. Brazaele 9. Whyte 10. Takam 11. Kownacki 12. Washington 13. Jennings 14. Duhaupas 15. Wach
1. AJ 2. Joe Parker 3. Povetkin 4. Wilder 5. Ortiz 6. Pulev 7. Takam 8. H Fury 9. Jennings 10. Ruiz Jnr 11. Browne 12. Whyte 13. Miller 14. Breazeale 15. Hammer
1. Povetkin 2. Joshua 3. Ortiz 4. Parker 5. Haye 6. Wilder 7. Takam 8. Pulev 9. Ruiz jr 10. Ustinov 11. Jennings 12. Mansour 13. Whyte 14. Kownacki 15. Miller
Good call on Duhaupas I should of had him over Hammer (he looks a bit better though it's splitting hairs really)
1) Joshua 2) Povetkin 3) Ortiz 4) Wilder 5) Parker 6) Pulev 7) Takam 8) Miller 9) Breazeale 10) Whyte 11) Jennings 12) Browne 13) Kownacki 14) Hammer 15) Duhaupas I didn't include Ruiz because he is inactive atm. Jennings will likely increase in my rankings as he starts getting active again. Browne might as well. The guys from 8-15 are all pretty close in ability so can easily switch about.
A fighters: 1.Joshua 2.Povetkin 3.Wilder B fighters: 4.Parker 5.Pulev 6.Ortiz Anyone else: 7.Takam 8.Ruiz JR 9.Browne 10.Breazeale 11.Whyte 12.Kownacki 13.Kuzmin ( if he beats Mansour ) 14.Hammer/Duhaupas. 15.Miller Waiting on Jennings to be back there as well.
I think it's a bit of a poor division, I only really rate Joshua Wilder Parker Povetkin (maybe Ortiz, depends how he looks if he ever fights again) atm. It's gonna be exciting now some of the amateur stars have turned pro, Yoka Joyce Hrgovic Kuzmin etc because the level of competition isn't the best atm so I'm looking forward to those working their ways up in next few yrs

What are your thoughts on Wallisch? Was moderately impressed the few times I saw him fight but doesn't seem to have much power and seems to be out of the ring a lot.
