Joshua above Vitali and Fury? **** off lol

vitali had 6 fights in the decade and his best opponents were chisora and adamek. you think thats better than what joshua did in the decade?

[daggum]

Still wondering what accomplishments Ortiz did to make a historical list ?

The list itself not including Ortiz is decent .

he beat bryant jennings. how can you not put him on the list after that!

True , Ortiz should actually be the greatest of all time next to Wilder considering Klitschko had just defeated Jennings which further enhances his standings .

that means ortiz was fighting an even more motivated jennings! wow. its one of those wins that may not look good at the time to the untrained casual fan but jennings went on to do a ton after the wlad and ortiz fights. similar to roy jones over hopkins or floyd over canelo

Terrible list. How can you rank Povetkin above Ruiz? He never won a title, while Ruiz was a Unified Champion. And Vitali hasn't fought anyone in 8 years.

It is about consistency which Ruiz doesn't have. Guy is a one hit wonder.

Seems to heavy on the now. 8 of the 10 are active now & you could probably argue 6 of them are still in their prime.

Agree.

Feel like you could easily put Tony Thompson on this list. Although he was 7-5 for the decade & 0-2 vs guys on the list cuz he had a lot more mid level wins vs a guy like Andy with the one big Buster W or Ortiz who had more coulda been big wins than official big wins.

AR over Dillian & Parker (received a gift decision victory)

Positions 9 and 10 are obviously pretty interchangeable with others.

Pulev would have to be ahead of Thompson.

David Haye?

When it comes to Ortiz you could sub Charles Martin or Bermaine Stiverne! Ortiz has done literally nothing for 10th spot.

[Toffee]

Can’t take away Klitschko accomplishments but AJ has unified in his 19th fight against Wlad himself .You can make a case for either one .

Unifying in his 19th fight is amazing in the context of Joshua's career but not in terms of the decade.

Wlad was the man for the first half of the decade. No-one has replicated that status since. Losing in his later years shouldn't detract from that. I think that edges him in.
