What has Luis Ortiz done to deserve a spot in any Top 10 list? He has held no titles of note and is only known for two losses to Deontay Wilder. His best wins of the last five years are Alexander Flores, Christian Hammer and Dave Allen. Those same three fighters also lost to Charles Martin, Tony Yoka and David Price, respectively, in that period.Comment

Very fair list. I think I'd slide Hrgovic down the list just for now but his stock is rising fight by fight.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)Comment

He is in there more so based on what I think he would do vs other fighters. For example, I think Ortiz vs Whyte is a 50-50 fight. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's just how I see it. Eddie Hearn brought Ortiz to England for a while at a stage where some of the English fighters were a bit lower than the scale than they are now, and I recall many of them calling out everyone. Except Ortiz!What has Luis Ortiz done to deserve a spot in any Top 10 list? He has held no titles of note and is only known for two losses to Deontay Wilder.

So one guy who hasn't fought anyone is recognized as a top HW solely because bodies recognize him, but, a man who has been recognized as a top ten HW for a decade as far as the bodies are concerned should be removed from mention because his hasn't beaten anyone?

IMO, Chisora is a Gatekeeper, not even top 15.
Luiz Ortiz has not beat anyone decent in a long time, he is undeserving. There is a clear reason they only match him up with the likes of A. Flores

Usyk
Ruiz Jr
5 - Wilder

Parker
Joyce
Hunter
10 - Povetkin
Pulev
