For me, it looks like this:
1. Usyk
2. Fury
3. Joshua
4. Parker
5. Dubois
6. Zhang
7. Kabayel
8. Anderson
9. Joyce
10. Hrgovic
The biggest issue for me was to decide between Dubois and Zhang. Wilder is a bigger name than Hrgovic, but overall Daniel's victory look more impressive to me as I believe Hrgovic is just a stronger fithter than the old Wilder.
Mostly I like this list but I would put the other big baby, Anderson, on it above Hrgovic and Sanchez
He hasn't done anything of notice in the division though. Another overhyped 21st century American heavyweight.
The only person he could be ranked above is Joyce imo.
I would switch Zhang and DDD but that is about all.
Yeah, there's arguments to be made for some of those fighters but based on performance that top 3 is all set. I'm not even sure if Joyce deserves 10 but Anderson has done nothing to warrant a spot.
Not so sure he's improving so much as he is fighting limited opposition. Miller without chemical enhancement is just a big fat guy with an attitude. Warn Hrgovic about rabbit punches and he's got a 1-2 and not much else. Even with Hrgovic's limited arsenal he was able to land the right hand almost at will. If he had better stamina he might well have beaten Dubois with that single punch, over and over and over again.
Remove Usyk from the list and I'm thinking Joshua might well be number 1.
And Dubois came into both those fights known as a "quitter". You may not think technically he has improved...but from a mental standpoint he has certainly taken on what type of mindset is needdd if you wish to become a champion. With an improved mindset and self belief comes greater commitment and a better work ethic. Time will tell...but it remains my belief that he is the sleeper of the division.
Good ol' Lew Eskin used to ask the very same question.

Fury at 2 is a joke LOL He was out classed and bullied by Usyk and lost to Ngannou in the eyes of most.
1. Usyk
2. Joshua
3. Parker
4. Fury
5. Zhang
6. Dubois
7. Kabayel
8. Hrgovic
9. Sanchez
10. Joyce
Joyce at 10 is just because of his past, not quite sure where he is at now and the Chisora fight will reveal a lot.
Mostly I like this list but I would put the other big baby, Anderson, on it above Hrgovic and Sanchez
I do think Dubois is the sleeper. Hes improving in strides and iif his confidence holds he might really become something.
Not so sure he's improving so much as he is fighting limited opposition. Miller without chemical enhancement is just a big fat guy with an attitude. Warn Hrgovic about rabbit punches and he's got a 1-2 and not much else. Even with Hrgovic's limited arsenal he was able to land the right hand almost at will.

Remove Usyk from the list and I'm thinking Joshua might well be number 1.

3. Fury
4. Zhang
5. Parker

7. Dubois
8. Ruiz
9. Joyce

Andy Ruiz has about as much chance of making the list as John Ruiz.

#6 Joseph Parker
#7 Daniel Dubois
#8 Jared Anderson

I'll be back at it after I climb off yer ma.
No problem. I hope it works out for you two. Nash wants nothing more than for you to be his stepdad. Nash out
1. Oquendo.
2. Charr.
3. Jake Paul (he's scheduled to fight Mike, so he's HW technically and you know he'll whup dat azz).
4. I give up.
Made a great start then faded away, Muso. Get back on your list. Orders of Nash. Nash out
I have retired Deontay Wilder due to throwing his last two fights due to Mafia involvement. I have also disqualified Parker and Zhang's wins over Wilder, and banned them from the rankings. Fury beat Usyk 114-113 on my card, so remains top.
1. Tyson Fury
2. Usyk
3. Joshua
4. Anderson
5. Dubois
6. Kabayel
7. Ruiz
8. Hrgovic
9. Hughie Fury
10. Ngannou
Nash out
Only Fury and Usyk are really good.
Than you have these under top level guys including Joshua, Parker, Kabayel, Zhang, Dubois
They actually can all beat each other.
Claiming Joshua is better than others because he can beat Ngannou is just insane.
