Given mine is the only one provided prior to your post I have to assume this is directed at me?
That's fair but you didn't seem to catch my justification for the overall list. I favored claims to titles over resume, hard. As far as resume is concerned I might put Pulev over Ortiz. They're about equal really, but, Kubrat has a bit more I think. Old washed outs like Peter don't usually make the cut, but, compared to Ortiz's scalps I'd give credit to Pulev for wins like that.
Pulev's highest title is an international though. Ortiz's is a world. Ergo Ortiz achieved a higher status in boxing than Pulev ever has.
Hunter instead of Bryan was the only deviation but tbh I'd forgotten Bryan even has an interim title.
Let me re-word the whole deal
1. Won every world belt
2. Won most world belts x2
3. Most defenses/most historical world belt
4. Won most world belts
5. Won a legitimate world belt and defended it against a legitimate contender
6. Won a world interim
7. Won a world regular
8. Won a world silver
9. Thought Hunter had Bryan's interim, but, the Pov fight is still a good reason. Originally I was saying I put him over Whyte because Whyte's top is interim level too and he drew pov instead of being KO'd however Whyte does have the better resume. Now I have to admit, Whyte has the better title too, my mistake.
10. Won a world silver
Silver = Interim
Or
1 Real Champ
2 Close but not yet
3 Respectable but not that close
4 respectable but not that close
5 Respectable albeit far from true champion status
6. fake champ
7. fake champ
8. fake champ
9. my bad, meant to be a fake champ
10. fake champ.
If I'd continued I'd've really got yer goat with names like Martin and Stiverne. Former real champions who were **** but still did more than say Hrgovic who probably will achieve a better resume than either, and better showings, but hasn't done **** all yet.
Anyway, yeah, Pulev is as legit as any other title contender. There's only three actually interesting HWs. Maybe four with Joyce doing the right **** for a new face.
Also, boxrec can eat a ****. Their rankings are meaningless.
