[the_doctor]

Topic A - The following fighters have been inactive for a period of one year or more:
Tyson Fury (no fight scheduled)
Wladimir Klitschko (has a fight scheduled with Anthony Joshua for 29 April 2017)
Bryant Jennings (no fight scheduled)
Bermane Stiverne (pulled out of a fight last weekend due to his opponent failing a drug test)
How should this affect their rankings?

My vote:

Fury and Jennings out because they don't look like becoming "active" any time soon. Wlad and Stiverne can stay in because they are clearly still "active".

I'd keep the title vacant until either Fury comes back or we get a winner of Wlad Vs Joshua.

Topic B - How are the rankings affected by Alexander Povetkin's KO6 win over Johann Duhaupas?

My vote: Failed a test so he's out for me. If VADA have fucked up then he can go back in at #2. Duhaupas can stay unranked for the time being.

Topic C - Lucas Browne has failed a second drug test - how does this affect his ranking?

My vote: Same as above, he's out unless there has been a mess up somewhere.

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

My vote:

Topic A: Fury stays-common protocol gives him 18 months to allow for injuries incurred, ie mental illness of going off the rails
W.Klitschko - remains at #1
Jennings - OUT
Stiverne - OUT, he don't want to fight and aint done squat in years other than expose Wilder limitations that others have done that ain't ranked.

Topic B: Povetkin stays until some testing values are released and context established. Regardless, he's exposed his last two scheduled American based fighters as non competitive. It was preordained these drug testing nazis mixing in a filty sport run by nazis were a disaster in the making. With luck, circumstances will flush both creep factors down the drain for new credibility. And why not the Duhaupas question? He's better than Stiverne and Jennings at this point even with a loss on short notice and deserves 15th slot by my vote.

Topic C: Browne stays for the above Povetkin reason

[greg]

Topic A:
Fury - OUT
W.Klitschko - remains at #1
Jennings - OUT
Stiverne - remains at #15

Topic B:
stays - pending the results of B-sample tests

Topic C:
stays - same reason

[Crease]

For me, I would have it looking like this;

Champ: Vacant (awaiting the victor of Joshua vs Klitchsko)
1 Anthony Joshua
2 Deontay Wilder
3 Wladimir Klitchsko (hasn't fought in over a year, slips down due to inactivity)
4 Luis Ortiz (keeps winning, moving up)
5 Joshua Parker (keeps winning, moving up)
6 Kubrat Pulev (keeps winning, moving up)
7 Dillian Whyte (Beay Chisora, which has bumped him up a good bit)
8 David Haye
9 Christian Hammer
10 Dereck Chisora
11 Shannon Briggs
12 Vyacheslav Glazkov
13 Ruslan Chagaev
14 Charles Martin
15 Odlanier Solis

I haven't included Povetkin or Browne because they have both failed drugs tests...

[Freedom2013]

Tyson Fury - OUT (title becomes vacant)

Wladimir Klitschko - remains at #1, he's officially scheduled to fight Joshua, inactivity caused by Fury

Bryant Jennings - OUT

Stiverne - OUT

Alexander Povetkin - abstain for now, look at it again when sample "B" result is in

Lucas Browne - OUT

[BitPlayer]

Browne Out
Povetkin Out
Purely for doping.

Stivern out, the rest stay the same.

[Tarkus]

Fury - OUT
W.Klitschko - remains at #1
Jennings - OUT
Stiverne - remains at #15

Alexander Povetkin - abstain, until the final ruling on drug allegation.

Lucas Browne - OUT, he has no business been in top 15 as it is.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Jennings & stiverne out. Povetkin to #4

Interesting. Do you intend on voting?

[dagilechia]

Fury - out
Klitschko - 1
Jennings - out
Stiverne - 15
Duhaupas - out
Povetkin - 2 (im waiting till the b sample test is done)
Browne - out (hes not good enough to be on the list in my opinion)

[Lennox]

Fury. retained as champion in recess for at least two more months
Klitschko. retained at 1. It was not his fault he has not fought and has a fight scheduled
Povetkin. retained at 2. Until commission decide if the fight was a No Contest or Licence revoked.
Jennings. He is inactive, so removed
Stiverne. retained, same reason as Wladimir. It was not his fault he has not fought in 13 months
Duhappas. dropped three places in the rankings. (might end up staying if enough fighters get voted out)
Browne. Out he has failed VADA twice now.

If only his record stood up to Andy Ruiz and his wins over Franklin Lawrence and Josh Gormley...

[asdfjkl]

Fury - OUT (title becomes vacant)
W.Klitschko - remains at #1
Jennings - remains at #8
Stiverne - out

Topic B - How are the rankings affected by Alexander Povetkin's KO6 win over Johann Duhaupas?

My vote: remains below Klitschko, but easely above Wilder. - I'm not sure what to make of his recent failed drug test

Topic C - Lucas Browne has failed a second drug test - how does this affect his ranking?

My vote: abstain -

My vote: abstain -

Do you vote stupid just to annoy. How can you vote Stiverne out who was ready to box and Jennings in who has no fight scheduled? If Jezz counts votes, your stupid opinion ruins things.

Stiverne wasn't ready and that was easely visable. Anybody in the list, even Glazkov, would easely win and probably even all of them but Glazkov by KO within 6 rounds. Jennings used to be better as Wilder, but nowadays, he's probably not any more. If you don't autoremove, you can expect things like this.

I count all votes, no matter how much I disagree with them.

[tiny_acres]

Klitschko #1... most boring fighter in history but at the moment the best the division has.

Stiverne remains at #15 I do believe he would of lost to Povetkin but it is not Stivernes fault Povetkin tested positive. So I'll give him a month or 2 to schedule another fight.

Fury is out do to inactivity. I hope he recovers from his addiction

Jennings is out due to inactivity.

Browne is out for peds

Povetkin is out for peds.
