You have picked the right 2 guys to vote for so well that i honestly dont care which one is picked... so nice job on that....

but...

"next fight: TBA" for fury seems more fitting seeing as its not a pro bout by the sounds..... but if you are going to include fury vs nganu there then 0-0-0 for nganu makes sense...

I know. I did TBA before.. but then I got bored.. included his MMA record etc..

[CMCanavessi]

I have to go with Mak. His win over Takam is better than any win that Efe has.

Also, the only time Efe stepped up in quality, he lost to Frank. Mak is still a big question mark though.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Filip Hrgovic vs. Demsey McKean cofirmed.

Finally the HW division is waking up.

[joshj909]

Both should be in but Efe should be higher so he's in for me.

feels like waste... dempsy should of been fed to a prospect, not used as a keep busy for someone with a mando.

Why should he be higher?

I'm basically going off quantity of mid level wins as I think that Takam and Demirezen are close in terms of value of the victories based on ability and recent record these days. I'd probably fancy Demirezen to just about beat Takam but that's speculation. It's close but I think Efe edges it.

I'd have them both ranked #12 and #13 anyway. Ortiz won't have a fight by September so he can get voted out and the other can get voted in.

[KiwiRider]

I'm trying to imagine them fighting each other, and I feel Mak would come out on top.
Sanchez is the first decent fighter Aggie has faced as a pro and he really had no answers, no plan B.
He looks amazing when fighting guys he is supposed to beat, but Mak isn't one if those.

I believe Mak would win too.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Added Hrgovic's fight to the list.

HW division waking up.

[pound per pound]

Filip Hrgovic vs. Demsey McKean cofirmed.

More like Demsey McCkean is going to take a brief involuntary nap.

A fight for the IBF world title? At least Hrgovic is fighting someone who is young, undefeated, and ranked what, 70th at Box Rec?

It not his fault, Ruiz, Fury, and just about all the top contenders are ducking him.

If Tyson loses, does he drop?

If it's a professional boxing match,.. I don't see why not.

Drops if he wins

If Tyson loses he is dropped clear out of the ratings. Losing to a guy making his debut is unforgiveable to a world champion

[SportsRatings]

Ajagba for me. Schedule strength for Efe is 3x as tough as Mak's in terms of viable fighters they've faced.

Win over Demirizen is as at least as good as beating old Takam. Mak beating impossibly over-the-hill Peter and Wach is nothing.

I'd probably rather add Kossubutskiy, the guy Jared Anderson was supposed to fight, but of these 2 it's Efe

[gregregegg]

I went mak..., but if shaw destroys Goodall next week then i might change that to Efe....

[oogiebe]

I missed the vote!!!!

[HomicideHenry]

I'm still blown away Dubois was #6 on BoxRec.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I missed the vote!!!!

What vote?

[Ruthless-RKO]

8 a piece.

Let’s get to 30 votes total.

How about removing him if he doesn't engage in a professional boxing match, like we have been other fighters on the list?

There really is no excuse for not fighting any ranked contenders within a 12 month period.

Also, shouldn't Ngannou's fight record read "debut" if it does end up counting on Fury's record.

[Finkel]

Given Pulev just got dropped due to not fighting in a 12 month period. Who is next up?

Usyk - August
Ruiz Jr. & Ortiz - September
Wilder - October
Fury & Chisora - December
