1. Tyson Fury
I would pick him to get knocked out in the Wilder rematch but I thought he won the first fight big. He also beat Wladimir Klitschko when Klitschko was unbeatable.
2. Deontay Wilder
He has a (disputed) draw against the number one guy and knocked out the best technical boxer in the division (Luis Ortiz) twice.
3. Luis Ortiz
Has only lost one round in his entire career, the fifth round against Wilder in the first fight. He’s completely dominated the competition and I would expect him to beat everyone except Wilder in this division.
4. Andy Ruiz
Ruiz’s resume was thin and he wasn’t ranked by anyone earlier this year... but then he knocked out Anthony Joshua.
5. Anthony Joshua
Joshua has some very good wins in his career so far, like Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, Alexander Povetkin and Wladimir Klitschko. But he lost badly to Ruiz, who was unranked by everyone at the time.
6. Jarrell Miller
Many won’t rank him because of the steroids... I don’t care. He beat Gerald Washington way worse than Wilder did and beat Bogdan Dinu way worse than Kubrat Pulev did.
7. Dillian Whyte
Whyte’s lone loss was to Joshua and he has good wins over Oscar Rivas and Joseph Parker, although both were life and death type fights.
8. Kubrat Pulev
Pulev has been nothing but impressive since his lone loss to Wladimir Klitschko.
9. Joseph Parker
Parker looked bad in his loss to Joshua and went life and death in a loss to Whyte, but his (disputed) win over Ruiz looks great now.
10. Alexander Povetkin
Povetkin has only lost to Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua and has looked very good against everyone else.
