    Hrgovic is more hyped, but he is not top 10 contender.

      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.

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

          I agree with that.

            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!

              Yeah, I have him higher than most would, I just think that he looks so well-rounded that he could be a potential big danger for anyone.

                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

                  Fury
                  Joshua
                  Usyk
                  Ruiz Jr
                  5 - Wilder
                  White
                  Parker
                  Joyce
                  Hunter
                  10 - Povetkin
                  Pulev
                  Ortiz
                  Hrgovic
                  Wallin
                  15 - Yoka
