So what do we do about Rivas?

F@ck bridgersheet, let's continue to rate HWs as HWs.

Send him to bed with no supper.

Seriously, I think it's fair to say we don't recognize Bridgerweight, or at least we aren't "early adopters", so he remains a Heavyweight clinging on to his ranking, under threat due to inactivity, only by virtue of his having a fight (of sorts) lined up.

I think had Yoka looked more convincing I might have suggested replacing Rivas with him. As it is his position remains under threat from the next unranked fighter who turns in a performance that justifies a top 15 ranking, because a win over a cab-driver shouldn't save him.

I must say that top 15 of ours is about as good as I've seen anywhere. I guess that shouldn't be surprising.

Yoka wasn't more convinincing.

[candyslim]

Exactly my point. He is a good fighter but not on the basis of that showing. Hammer is still a bit of a handful so I'll give Yoka a pass for that one. Not impressive but got the job done.

I misread your post.

If all scheduled and rumoured fights go ahead (I'm sure 90% won't) we would have the following this year:
(1) Fury vs (2) Joshua
(3) Povetkin vs (6) Whyte
(5) Usyk vs (10) Joyce
(7)Ruiz vs (100) Arreola
(8)Hunter vs (16-25) Hrgovic
(9) Parker vs (13) Chisora

That wouldn't be a bad schedule for us.
