Here is the Ring top 10
1. Kubrat Pulev - Honestly a D- fighter at best with nothing to offer but a decent at best jab. Type of HW anyone sees and thinks if only I had the size and was younger I'd give it a shot myself. If this guy can do it, I think I can and they're probably right.
2. Alexander Povetkin - Good fighter when in shape. Good technique, underrated combination puncher, decent power. B/B-
3. Bermane Stiverne - Solid all round but sometimes a bit lazy & spends too long looking for one punch, bit sluggish on his feet, best bodypuncher in the division, very good handspeed, exceptional power. B-/C
4. Tyson Fury - Big uncoordinated idiot, chinny and can't stick to a gameplan, defense has more holes than Swiss cheese. Does nothing that well but most things fair. C-/D
5. Bryant Jennings - Awful fighter, if you think this guy is talented I don't know what to tell you. Below average all round. E+
6. Deontay Wilder - Massive, good handspeed, massive power in his right hand. No real technique. D+ on power alone
Basically a very raw, larger than life, poor mans Randall Bailey
7. Vyacheslav Glazkov - Cruiserweight to lazy to get in shape. Would be so and so at CW. Solid HW gatekeeper. E
8. Mike Perez - Half decent cruiserweight too lazy to get in shape. B level cruiserweight/D for the first 5, F level after that heavyweight
9. Chris Arreola - 5-6 round stamina, alright power, good chin & a huge heart. No defense, no lateral movement just moves forward like a waddling duck throwing arm punches D-/E
10. Ruslan Chagaev - Shot to bits, a solid C in his prime and in shape. Another E level heavyweight currently and another too lazy cruiserweight. Probably would of been a top, top cruiserweight. One of the best.
Basically outside of Wladimir you have two decent heavyweights, the rest are trash. Stiverne and Povetkin could of probably done okay in previous eras may of gone down as a ''unlucky not to win a world title'' type. The rest would of been gatekeepers/journeymen, few maybe that would of got an eliminator most likely getting sparked and knocked back to where they belonged.
Then again I rank say a Frank Bruno as C+ level. Hes a guy who could occasionally ask a A-/B level a few questions but ultimately fall well short. So I think I've probably been generous with a good few here.
