I have for quite a long time been a proponent for exalting official ranking over unofficials, TBRB, Ring, ESPN, Boxrec, you name it I've spoken **** about it.
So maybe y'all just ain't interested, but, I think it's kinda odd Wilder's getting slaughtered all over the forum for everything but no longer being officially recognized by a single sanctioning body as a top ten fighter with the only exception being the WBA. He's not even a top fifteen anymore:
WBC
Tyson Fury
Dillian Whyte (i)
1. NOT RATED
2. Oleksandr Usyk
3. Oscar Rivas
4. Luis Ortiz
5. Andy Ruiz Jr.
6. Adam Kownacki

8. Daniel Dubois
9. Filip Hrgovic
10. Alexander Povetkin
11. Michael Hunter
12. Joe Joyce
13. Dereck Chisora
14. Kubrat Pulev
15. Agit Kabayel

15. Fujimoto Kyotaro
Just for a reminder, when Josh lost to Ruiz he was ranked the following
WBC & WBA: 3
IBF: 6
WBO: 4
Ranked across the board as a top ten, 3/4 agreed he was still top five, and the two biggest and most important bodies agreed he was top three.
I just thought it was interesting and figured y'all musta missed this since no one is talking about it.
