Topic A - How are the rankings affected by Joseph Parker's TKO8 win over Jason Bergman?

My vote: Parker remains at #15, Bergman remains unranked.

I say rank 10, not even because of this fight, but the fight before got ignored as well. Also, except for Anthony Joshua, the 5 boxers above him have showed a far less performance in the past two years.

[Freedom2013]

Joseph Parker up to #12, Bergman remains unranked.

Not just because of this fight, but because several others above him (except Joshua) have done little in the past year.

[Tarkus]

No change.

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

- Joseph Parker to # 8.

Joshua could be ranked just over or under him, but that ain't the request. Both have been underrated for too long here.

[Horse]

No change.

Why are people voting him up? He's done nothing, he shouldn't even be ranked.

Which unranked fighters do you think should be above him? Where would you rank him?

I'd have Cunningham above him.

I rank Parker at 25th.

[crusader]

I can see the rationale for having USS ahead..he's certainly got a stronger resume and I thought he deserved the win over Glazkov.

Which other unranked fighters do you have above Parker?

I checked and I actually already did do a topic for the Martz fight.

Oh, excuse, appearantly I forgot,y bad.

[Cap]

I'd rank him No.10 as those above him have done even less than him. I'd also rate Joshua a notch below that at No.11.

[crusader]

No change

[Heretic]

Parker to stay at #15.

Beating Bergman has nothing to do with HW top 15 rankings. Parker got in too early anyways :geek2:

[jezzamundo]

Bump.

[Lennox]

I think he should probably be 10 but on the basis of beating Jason Bergman he should not go up. So no change

My top 20 would be based on a mixture of what has happened/ likely to happen and recent activity. (Hence kinda Marked Haye down)
1. Tyson Fury
2. Wladmir Klitschko
3. Alexander Povetkin
4. Deontay Wilder
5. Luis Ortiz
6. Anthony Joshua
7. Kubrat Pulev
8. Carlos Takam
9. Bermane Stiverne
10. Joseph Parker
11. Czar Glazkov
12. Bryant Jennings
13. Steve Cunningham
14. Dereck Chisora
15. Malik Scott
16. Arthur Szpilika
17. David Haye
18. Tony Thompson
19. Charles Martin
20. Robert Helenius

16. Arthur Szpilika
17. David Haye
18. Tony Thompson
19. Charles Martin
20. Robert Helenius

Except for Stiverne where I'm not impressed by and Cunningham who's a cruiserweight and lost against half Europe I pretty much agree with this list.
Perhaps Haye a little higher since he beated Chisora for example.


I think mine would be:
1. Tyson Fury
2. Wladmir Klitschko
3. Alexander Povetkin
4. Anthony Joshua
5. Luis Ortiz
6. Kubrat Pulev
7. Deontay Wilder
8. Carlos Takam
9. Bryant Jennings
10. Joseph Parker
11. David Haye
12. Czar Glazkov
13. Ruslan Chagaev
14. Dereck Chisora
15. Arthur Szpilika
16. Malik Scott
17. Tony Thompson
18. Charles Martin
19. Robert Helenius
20. Lucas Browne
21. Arnold Gjergjaj
22. Bermaine Stiverne
23. Andy Ruiz Jr
24. Gerald Washington
25. Adrian Granat


I'd also like to mention "Jun Long Zhang", I've never seen him fighting, so I struggle to put him in a place, but looking at his numbers, but he's starting to get seriously impressive, 12 fights, 12 KO's, except for one, all of them within 3 rounds. Even Jason Gavern within three rounds, something Wilder couldn't do for example.

And what about Joseph? People rank him at 12, or 13 on avarage, so he's raising ranks right?
