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.

I think that is very close

1-Fury
2-the others

This guy knows his stuff!

[deathofaclown]

I’m leaving Usyk out of it for now, his one fight at HW isn’t enough to know where he stands.

1. Fury
2. Wilder
3. Ruiz (i actually don’t think he’s the 3rd best, nowhere near, but he has to be put here for his win over AJ)
4. Joshua
5. Whyte (not really sure where he should be ranked, but his recent form and wins are better than the next bunch of fighters as it stands)

The rest you can pick any mix of guys like Pulev, Povetkin, Ortiz, Parker etc..

Really, i think Fury and Wilder are out on their own as the clear top 2.

I can't accept Miller being ranked - his PED abuses are legit, whether people like it or not. Until he's clean for a decent amount of time, he's an N/A.

Luis Ortiz has to be lower - his calling card is being knocked out by Wilder, twice. Other than that, he's collected the souls of journeymen and that's it.

Rank it on what ?
You should only be ranking them on where you think they could fare against other fighters so its not really a thread about ranking on that basis with no criteria.

1. Joshua
2.Fury
3.wilder
4.Usyk
5. Povetkin
6. Whyte
7.Pulev
8.Parker
9. Ortiz
10. Ruiz ( off the fact you guys will say hes a bum when he loses ) hes the best now of course.

[Dariusz]

Who cares about Wallin ? I do care about Adam Kownacki who is the only one fighter from top 10 in HW who won all his fights.

[W1LL]

You folks seem to be underrating the only man to beat Andy Ruiz Jr. clean, fair and square. The man who's only losses are to an opponent with "the****utic use exemptions", and another who just piddled dirty.
