    Updated HW Top 10

    How things stand at this moment in time for me. The rankings don't mean I think they are the best in that order, as I think Wilder at 3, would beat Joshua at 2, but Joshua has the belts.

    1. Tyson Fury (Linael, Ring, WBC)
    2. Anthony Joshua (WBA, IBF, WBO)
    3. Deontay Wilder
    4. Andy Ruiz (Snickers)
    5. Felipe Hrgovic
    6. Dillian Whyte (Coin - that he won vs Povetkin)
    7. Oleksandr Usyk
    8. Luis Ortiz
    9. Joe Joyce
    10. Derek Chisora (the Gatekeeper)

      If Hrgovic is N. 5. , Wardley is also top 10. They have the same best win.

        Five years ago, though. I think Pulev has declined somewhat since then, whilst Chisora looked good vs Uysk, and most people thought he beat Dillian Whyte in the first fight as well. Also, I'm not certain Pulev or Povetkin will fight again, so until they do, I am leaving them out of the rankings. A few others have a strong case for the top 10, such as Joseph Parker, but I was really unimpressed with his last performance, so I am giving the nod to Chisora.

          It's not based on his best win, I also feel Hrgovic resume is rubbish, I just really rate his style, and skills. Put it this way, if Hrgovic fought Wardley, and the betting odds were evens, I'd bet every single thing I have on him winning.

            I agree with you 100%. #1 - #4 have been avoiding #5 - #10 so those last six are more difficult to rank. Could Joseph Parker be at the bottom?

              I considered Parker, and whoever wins between him and Chisora will be Ten. But I factored in Chisora doing really well vs Usyk, and Parker, not only being quite poor vs Fa, but also, almost putting me to sleep, which is a shame, as when he goes toe to toe, and lets his hands go, he looks really good. I have retired the likes of Povetkin and Pulev from the rankings, as I'm not sure they will fight again, and Michael Hunter has a case as well.

                Hrgovic is ranked in multiple top 10”s , he’s top 5 in IBF , what’s Wardley ranked ?

                  Chisora was lucky he Wasn’t stopped against Usyk, multiple times he was staggered and the bell rang as his legs were weak at one point . I thought Usyk struggled more with Chisora doing multiple low blows and rough housing . Pulev should be over Ortiz as well he just fought A.J while Ortiz hasn’t fought anyone in years . Pulev boxed very well against A.J he was just severely out matched .

                  Pulev defeats guys like Chisora, Parker and possibly Povetkin . Wallin could probably defeat Pulev ? I think Pulev is still a threat outside big heavyweight boxer punchers . Fair list though either way .

                    I understand your points. If Pulev fights again, and looks good, I would put him back above Chisora, as Pulev's best, is better than Chisora's. Chisora is awkward for many fighters though, very physically strong, good overhand right, and dirty, but effective. He was robbed blind vs Helenius, and I really thought he won the first fight with Whyte.

                    I don't think Povetkin will fight again, I have always rated Povetkin very highly, but maybe now is the time for him to walk away. I'd hate for him to start losing to lower-tier guys. Ending his career going 1-1 with Dillian Whyte, at the age of 41, is no disgrace.

                    Again, you have a point on Ortiz, and I think it's just my personal preference, I really like Ortiz's style of fighting. I do actually think Otto Wallin is an option for the top 10. I want to see him have one more tough fight though, as I have only seen him twice.
