BoxRec Forum HW Top 15 ranking - Usyk vs. Dubois / Anderson vs. Rudenko / Ajagba vs. Kossobutskiy

i assume scissors hands wallin

Wallin at 14 and Chisora at 15 for me.

Other names I've considered but dropped are Wardley, Kabayel, Jalolov, Dubois

How the fornicate could you vote wallin in? has had an absolute shocking 2.5 years, dont nothing and looked mediocre doing it...

I agree Wallin's resume in the recent past is pisspoor, but if we exclude Chisora and Takam, I struggle to find anyone with decent names not already in the top 15. Regarding Chisora and Takam, I believe they are so out of prime that I don't think they rank above him

I’d rather throw a rank prospect in than wallin based off his last couple years… or keep it vacant.

But with Otto vs gassiev winner will deserve to be in. Both have had a shocking few years (gassiev has had a shocking 5 years…).

Just realised that Dubois is soon to be ranked 4th in the world by Boxrec. That's got to be up there with the most out of place ranking we've ever seen.

How in the hell is Dubois even in the top 10? He has beaten no one

[margaret thatcher]

he is lower top 20 in reality

he may have got some ranking inflation from beating lerena, who for some reason is ranked #16th at heavyweight even after dubois blasted him out. lerena was presumably even higher before

probably also the cusamano win is over rating him too, since boxrec factors in opponents' future results and cusamano himself is now seriously overrated in the system (#23) for beating kownacki

per boxrec, he's blasted out multiple top 15-25 fighters (in reality more like a #30 and a #50), which is often good enough to get someone comfortably in the top 10. im pretty sure bryan was also overrated by boxrec, so that could be yet another 'good' opponent he ko'd early.
