Notice Anthony Joshua not ranked because he hasnt beaten anyone yet

But, then who has Jennings, Ruiz, Wilder ever beaten?

[jezzamundo]

Tyson Fury is in the nut house, he's out and can not be ranked.

Who's the active #1?

#1 I'll go with Povetkin for now, with the winner of Wlad vs Joshua passing him.

#2 Wlad
#3 Joshua
#4 Ortiz
#5 Parker
#6 Wilder
#7 Pulev
#8 Haye
#9 Ruiz
#10 Browne
#11 Whyte
#12 Jennings
#13 Teslenko
#14 H. Fury
#15 Lippe-Morrison

You're aware I can't accept that as a vote?

[Rob3_142]

You're a moron.

No, he isn't.

Why would he say that but still include Andy Ruiz on the list? What wins does he have on his resume?

[Horse]

Quite a lot of people thought that Ruiz beat Parker.

Well that's very nice, but he still lost.

[Horse]

Well that's very nice, but he still lost.

Ruiz's loss to Parker is still far better than anything that Joshua has done.

[Killer Blow]

Ruiz's loss to Parker is still far better than anything that Joshua has done.

This is bad.

[Horse]

This is bad.

Yes, Joshua is a very poor world champion.

[Killer Blow]

Good thing he'll lose his belt next time out if he isn't up to scratch.

Topic A-
Fury out (title becomes vacant).
Klitcshko stays where he is.
Jennings out.
Steverne stays where he is.

Topic B-
Povetkin out.

Topic C-
Browne out.

Fury and Jennings are too inactive to remain ranked, though I would like to wish both a speedy recovery.

Steverne did have a fight scheduled which he missed through no fault of his own.

Klitcshko has a fight scheduled, though, if that were to fall through he should probably be dropped out too.

Both Povetkin and Brown can plead their innocence all they like, and given the confusing circumstances surrounding both men's first failed tests I actually had a certain degree of sympathy for them.
But two failed tests in a row is a different story.

You are quite delusional. A narrow points defeat does not override brutal knockout wins against Whyte, Molina, Martin and Breazeale.

Yes, it does.

Parker is much better than anyone on Joshua's record.

[Rob3_142]

Yes, it does.

Parker is much better than anyone on Joshua's record.

That might be true, but he lost to him. Had he won, I might be inclined to agree, but he didn't.

Just out of interest, how do you see:
Parker vs Joshua?
Ruiz vs Joshua?

[Horse]

That might be true, but he lost to him. Had he won, I might be inclined to agree, but he didn't.

A close loss to Parker is still better than everything that Joshua has done so far.

Joshua is by far the most overrated fighter in world boxing right now.

[Horse]

Just out of interest, how do you see:
Parker vs Joshua?
Ruiz vs Joshua?

I would predict that Joshua loses both.

[Rob3_142]

What do you think Joshua needs to do specifically to earn your approval?

Fight someone good.

Klitchko qualify?

[Horse]

Klitchko qualify?

Yes.

[Rob3_142]

Klitchko qualify?

Yes.

Based on Joshua's current resume, where would you place him in the rankings?

But, then who has Jennings, Ruiz, Wilder ever beaten?

Jennings beat Artur Szpilka and Mike Perez (though I don't know much about him), Ruiz put in a very credible performance vs Parker, and Wilder has beaten Stiverne, Szpilka, and Duhaupas. Though I do think Joshua should be in the top 10. He's shown enough for that.

Yeah but are Jennings, Ruiz and Takam's wins that good that they push Joshua out the top 10?

Also this list is so good, it has Pulev twice...
