Whyte to 2
Chisora down to 14
Ajagba to 15

[oogiebe]

I have no change.

Whyte beat Rivas. Whyte has nowhere to go in the rankings and Rivas doesn't fall because of losing a decision to the #5 Ranked guy

Chis over Spzilka: No movement. Artur is a shot fighter and beating him doesn't move Chis up in the rankings.

Efe over Ali: Neither is top 20 so no impact.

Are you taking the piss?

Not sure which you're arguing with but ok, here goes:

Whyte - Wilder's best win is Ortiz, who's best win is Jennings (same as Rivas). I rate a win over Parker as a better win than any of Wilder's other wins (argue against that if you please). Fury also clearly beat him, and if you want to go on result alone, a draw is not a win.

Chisora - I'm one of the few posters who respect the fact that Kabayel beat Chisora, everyone else seems to refuse to accept it. That should be corrected. This win, in my opinion, just reminds me of that fact.

Ajagba - Breazeale's best wins are Ugunoh, Mansour and Molina. Mansour by questionable circumstance when he was way behind so lets exclude that. Ugonoh has been exposed, and a win over Molina is worse than Ajagba's perfectly credible wins over Mansour and Demirezen in my opinon.

LOL! Whyte to 2. If nothing else. Are you ignoring the fact that AJ kayoed whyte???

[tiny_acres]

Whyte no change
Rivas out
Chisora no change ( even though I think he is not top 15 I can't lower him for winning)

Ajagba makes my top 25 but not top 15 yet

Right now i'd like to rate it (roughly) [Ruiz - Joshua - Fury - Whyte - Wilder] but that's not how this works unfortunately.

Chis over Spzilka: No movement. Artur is a shot fighter and beating him doesn't move Chis up in the rankings.

Efe over Ali: Neither is top 20 so no impact.

Whyte moves up on my estimation of him. He fought smarter than in the past. But he can't move past AJ, no way.

His jab looked terrific today.

Question A: No change (but Chisora to #12 because of Question B)

Question B: Whyte down to #7 and Rivas down to #13

Question C: No change

[ironbeard]

WTH is going on up in here? How does Rivas fall by losing a decision to number 5? How does Chisora jump ahead of him by stopping someone outside the top 15, and essentially finished?

No change.

No change.

My sentiments exactly. One poster moved whyte to number two.

I explained my reasoning. Is it unreasonable?

Yes

Yes

Care to explain why?

[oogiebe]

Yes

Care to explain why?

Whyte to number 2 passes AJ who kayoed Whyte. To use your own method.

[Contendeh]

I wouldn’t change a thing except replace Breazeale, who I think is finished.

Though this victory moves him above Wilder. See the conundrum? In this system they would have to be moved up one by one when they fight until they are above who they should be above, until the boxer they should be above fights, and can be moved down...

[DrDuke]

Chisora to the 11th.

Kabayel to the 13th.

Rivas to the 14th.

Ajagba to the 15th.

Breazeale out.

[pound per pound]

Rivas and Breazeale out!

Ajagba to 14th, Joyce to 15th.

[dagilechia]

some votes are too unclear to count them as valid.

[SportsRatings]

A: Chisora win: Chisora remains #13
B: Whyte beats Rivas: Whyte remains #5, Rivas falls from #11 to #14; Hrgovic moves up #12 to #11; Kabayel moves #14 to #12
C: Ajagba win: Ajagba replaces Breazeale at #15

[Pukka Cheese]

Breazeale shouldn't be top 15 but giving Efe that spot over Joyce seems strange to me.

I say no change but switching Chisora and Rivas wouldn't be terrible.
