BoxRec Forum HW Top 15 ranking - Yoka vs. Takam

[Perkin Warbeck]

A very sad division..

Yes.

Ali Eren Demirezen has announced his retirement, saying he's not been getting enough fights. Sadly, boxing has some lazy promoters and managers who are keeping good heavyweight fighters inactive and so ruining their careers.

Where's the source?

It would somewhat be his own fault. Picked a promoter who can't bring him big and regular fights but he also hasn't put himself out there following a pretty big win for him last summer.

Anderson vs Arias is a fight for the top-15 claim.

Anderson vs Arias is a fight for the top-15 claim.

Anderson beat Arias, maybe
Arias beats Anderson, def not.

Yeah, Anderson gotta be favored for the reason.

[watsupdoc87]

A bit off topic but i think blobby miller could beat anyone from spo8 to 15. Not say he would. But he could. And atleast 3 he definitely would

[CMCanavessi]

Bakole's fight seems to be confirmed for April 22

Charles Martin vs Gurgen Hovhannisyan on 22/04

Not that I think the winner will make the top 15 but if Gurgen wins then a win over Martin is as much as Ortiz or Kownacki have done in recent years. Probably a better scalp than Dubois has.

Who is financially backing/ investing in Gergen? I love it, but no way Charles Martin fights him for small change… big play and I love it.

LOL wut? Someone was clearly on the phone to the boxrec admins. Arias was ranked above Anderson three weeks ago when they reintroduced him into the HW rankings. Arias was #28 and Anderson was #29.

LOL.

I noticed that.

[gregregegg]

Geeze our rankings are old right now.... I mean its expected you work your way up, but fvck its geriatric in our top 15... about 2 years ago i predicted this list was about to get a big shake up, i was wrong.... same old guys clinging on.

1, Fury 34
2, usyk 36
3, AJ 33
4, Wilder 37
5, Joyce 37
6. Ruiz 33
7, Parker 31
8, whyte 35
9, Bakole, "29" (im sus as fvck on that)
10, Ortiz 44 (many are sus on that)
11, Frank sanchez 30 (once again im sus)
12, Pulev 41
13, hrgovic 30
14 Chisora 39
15 Efe 28

Boxers are taking soooo long befor taking risks that the average age of a top 15 heavyweight is 35 plus (and thats with bakoles and sanchez suposid ages...)

This list will have to have a shakeup soon. There are no names on this list that i would be very confedent of being there in 3 years. Thats insane. theres some definant mabeys, but yea not 1 i would be very confedent of being there in 3 years. But i guess if the trend continues and noone steps up the ones that dont retire will just be there by defult...

Frank Sanchez is fighting on the Fundora card Saturday. Terrible opponent who Wardley KO'd in two.

Awful matchmaking for him. Arreola also on the card. Are they then going to give us Sanchez Vs Arreola?

Seems likely, doesn't it. I guess they'll just try and hold onto that WBO ranking.

Yea I’m fairly sure I’d KO Martz… he is the guy you dial when you need an early KO.. 9 ko losses, most of them within 3 rounds.

Will bring out a new thread tomorrow morning.

Will bring out a new thread tomorrow morning.

I can seem some knee jerk reactionaries dropping Joshua down to 7th
