What is your Top 10 HW list now?

[oogiebe]

Mine at first look is:

• Joshua
  Wilder
  Povetkin
  Whyte
  Miller
  Parker
  Ortiz
  Breazeale
  Pulev
  Cow-Hockey

Overwhelmingly, we have the top three: Joshua/Wilder/Povetkin pretty much consensus.

[DrDuke]

1. Joshua
2. Povetkin/Wilder
3. Pulev
4. Ortiz
5. Parker
6. Miller
7. Breazeale
8. Whyte
9. Takam
10. Kownacki

[oogiebe]

1. Joshua
2. Povetkin/Wilder
3. Pulev
4. Ortiz
5. Parker
6. Miller
7. Breazeale
8. Whyte
9. Takam
10. Kownacki

I couldn't make the argument for Takam. Pulev down should start with 4. Povetkin and Wilder taking up 2/3.

[ValMar]

Now, without Tyson Fury and David Haye (they both should be on the list, but right now, they are not active) :
1. Joshua
2. Wilder
3. Ortiz
4. Povetkin
5. Parker
6. Whyte
7. Pulev
8. Miller
9. Takam
10. Breazeale

2. wilder
3. povetkin
4. ortiz
5. parker
6. whyte
7. pulev
8. miller
9. breazeale
10. takam

im actually not sure on povetkin really. hes mainly at 3 for me because of a solid record over time, and i do think he was very good during his post-wlad ktfo run, but i think now some lower rated but less proven guys may be better and beat him even clearly.

It would be nice to see a prospect or two make a little noise and push some of these guys out of the top ten.

[jamamb]

it is a bit of an older boxer list as povetkin and ortiz and takam are almost 40, pulevs turning 37 this year, and everyone else will be 30+ this year except aj and parker

i suppose hws always older on average but there are some guys there who i dont think have much time left

Funny you mention that. Have you noticed as HW's get bigger, their primes get older?

You mean to get the extra name in? I grew up w/ Ring Mag and they did it that way. Anyway I consider AJ champion.

Exactly that. I stopped doing it when Alphabet orgs didn't recognize champs from other bodies in their ratings. Ring was the one place most of us used to go for the proper ratings. How is it now?

[HomicideHenry]

Anthony Joshua
Deontay Wilder
Joseph Parker
Alexander Povetkin
Dillian Whyte
Luis Ortiz
Carlos Takam
Kubrat Pulev
Dominic Breazeale
Jarrell Miller

However, I will say that I think Deontay Wilder would be more problematic for Tyson Fury than AJ would be; yet I do believe AJ would defeat Wilder.

[fanman]

ring mag rankings.

champ: vacant
1: joshua
2: wilder
3: parker
4: povetkin
5: ortiz
6: whyte
7: pulev
8: breazeale
9: miller
10: kownacki

i'm fine with that. all that matters is josh v wilder winner will be undisputed champ.

Agreed. Like I've posted before, I cannot wait for the next crop of prospects to make some noise.

[tiny_acres]

Joshua Wilder tied for top spot.
3. Povetkin
4. Ortiz
5. Miller
6. Pulev
7. Parker
8. Takam
9. Whyte
10. Breazelle

8-10 are so weak.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Joshua

Ortiz
Povetkin
Parker

Pulev
Miller
Whyte
-----------------
Breazeale
-----------------
Ruiz

Ordering #3-5 was tricky but most of the rest just fell into place. Think Ruiz is a little better than Takam or Kownacki but there really isn't much in it.

I like how you did that. outside of 1 - 3 or 4, today's rating's exercise is like picking what you want to eat in an all-night lavatory.
