Question: How are the rankings affected after Zhang’s KO win over Joyce?

One vote for Jalovov 14th. Move Joyce out. Everyone else below Joyce moves up a rank.

[Benny The Kid]

Why is Andy Ruiz not ranked anywhere....it's like he's been wiped out. What's the deal? He's nowhere in rankings anywhere.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize it worked like that.

[Ruthless-RKO]

There’s no excuse for him not to have fought these past 12 months.

Wider is not far behind.

[Belanio]

Zhang to #3
Joyce to #13

[Ruthless-RKO]

Will close this off soon

[Ruthless-RKO]

I realised i only had one option per votes.

My bad.

Make ur 2nd votes please.

I will consider the comments too

[CMCanavessi]

Zhang 3
Joyce stays 6

Then we can vote to move Hrgovic a couple of places ahead of Joyce and Parker.

[DrDuke]

Keep them like they are. Gotta fill the vacant spots.

[margaret thatcher]

[Finkel]

He's back, baby! All aboard ...

[margaret thatcher]

[Ruthless-RKO]

Keep
Voting on this.

Will leave a few more days. When we can decide where Wallin should go.

About to watch Z v J II.

[ironbeard]

Zhang feeling his oats. Lest we forget, Joyce is slower than the change of seasons. He was always doomed to being taken out by a HW with skill and power.

Zhang to 4.

[gilgamesh]

Ya know, I don't know if there's much market for it, but I wouldn't mind seeing Joyce vs Efe Ajagba just for the hell of it.

It'd be a good undercard bout for Zhang vs Usyk maybe.

+1

[Heretic]

My vote. No change.

[ironbeard]

Joyce to 10.

[CMCanavessi]

Found this today, don't know if it's confirmed. Apparently on Oct. 28 on the Fury Ngannou undercard

Arslanbek Makhmudov vs. Agron Smakici, 10 rounds, heavyweights

Seen..

The Bakole-Takam fight has disappeared

[CMCanavessi]

I see several sources still listing that fight, as of yesterday.

Would be nice if winners fight each other, Mak vs. Bakole would be fireworks, or Mak vs. Parker, or Bakole vs. Parker.


Edit: also Tony Yoka vs Ryad Merhy on December 9th

[gilgamesh]

I would say Joyce shouldn't be in the Top 10 at this moment of time. He didn't just lose twice to Zhang. He was blown out twice by Zhang.

He's still Top 15, but he needs some wins to get back into Top 10 territory IMO.
