How does that work? I didn't know Fedosov was a latin name... Good ol' boxing trinkets... Canadian champ D. Carman & what is up with Trevor Bryan? That guyb scored a solid win over Rossy & has been stuck in Don King limbo for awhile... He should match Bryan & Molina against each other.
he's scheduled to fight tho, and he was supposed to fight on 7-9-16 and 10-29-16 but his opponent pulled out
either way he hasn't fought for over a year
Wlad shouldnt be there either, I dislike rankings including guys who havent boxed for over a year.
In all honesty, the top 5 looks like:
AJ
Povetkin
Pulev
Wilder
Parker (cos of the IBF win)
And the rest is hazy. Who cares where Ortiz and co rank when they aren't bothered stepping up?

C'mon Sadiq what's going on?
Your #1 and #2 ranked boxers haven't competed in over 12 months.
You spelt Johann Duhaupas' surname wrong.
Charles Martin is retired and in a worse mental state than Tyson Fury.
Other than that, we have a big night of Heavyweight boxing!
They're both scheduled to fight though, I am sorry for the mistake, and if Martin doesn't schedule in 15 months then he's out of the rankings, and yes indeed we have a big night of heavyweight boxing

01.) Wladimir Klitschko, 64-4 (53 KO)
02.) Deontay Wilder, 37-0 (36 KO) WBC
03.) Alexander Povetkin, 30-1 (22 KO) (17th Dec, B. Stiverne)
04.) Anthony Joshua, 17-0 (17 KO) IBF (10th Dec, E. Molina)
05.) Luis Ortiz, 25-0 (22 KO) (12th Nov, M. Scott)

09.) Bermane Stiverne, 25-2-1 (21 KO) (17th Dec, A. Povetkin)
10.) Johann Duhaupas, 34-3 (21 KO) WBC Silver
It also makes it easier to digest if you put a space inbetween each group of ten.
I don't agree but good rankings

This list seems very subjective. Personally I'd say Alexander Povetkin hurt himself by ducking Deontay Wilder. As a result I'd put Wilder #2.
David Haye is ranked way too high.
What is the significance of a top 40?
No one ducked anyone in the Povetkin/Wilder situation, there was a test and it failed and they should fight next year, Haye beat Gjeraj who was ranked in the top 10 by both WBO and IBF and was ranked at 21 by BoxRec and was ranked 24 by me so I gave him that ranking

Rankings seem legit.
Although not a fan of Haye being anywhere up there - based on activity (or lack of), plus quality of opposition recently, he's way off where he needs to be. A name but no substance lately.
Wilder and Parker?
no matter how much of a fanboi you are, that is a ton of Kool Aide to drink.
Wilder is an easier sell as yes he is the WBC holder (in recess), Parker though? Takam was his best win I think.
If simply judging on form, I will even agree that AJ deserves to be far higher than the two.
Pulev vs Parker would be a really good fight, slight advantage Pulev.
I'm not really a fan of either but Stiverne was top 5 before he lost to Wilder, Parker has beat Meehan who was top 35 and then Takam who was top 15

After the top 2, the next 5 are pretty much third equal. Parker probably has the best resume, then Ortiz, but they don't have belts so fair rankings I guess.
I understand your point of view but Takam at the time wasn't ranked higher than Martin, Jennings, or Stiverne who were beat by Joshua, Ortiz, and Wilder. Pulev beat Thompson was ranked at #3 at the time, and beat Ustinov who was top 15
Ortiz, Browne, Scott, and Duahpas way too high,
and Washington, Stiverne, Mansour and Whyte too low.
Nobody can justify putting Ortiz in the top 10, he has done nothing to warrant that ranking.
You should need something more than a cool nickname to make the top 10.
Briggs take out Ortiz,
Oritz beat Jennings who was top 10 and Thompson who was top 20
Scott beat Thompson who was at the time ranked at #8, and beat Lepai who was ranked #31
Browne beat Chagaev who was ranked #11
Duahpas beat Helenius who was top 15
Washington still doesn't have a good win
Stiverne got a gift decision over Rossy
Mansour had a draw with Washigton and was beat by Breazeale and doesn't have a good win really
Whyte still doesn't have a good win and neither does Briggs
