1-Usyk
2-Joshua
3-Fury (I can be convinced to drop him altogether)
4-Zhang
5-Hrgovic
6-Joyce

The rest are muddled.
7-Dubs
8-Wallin
9-Bakole
10-Efe Ajagba
11-Jared Anderson
12-Makhmudov
13-Whyte
14-Chisora
15-Sanchez

If Wilder fights he jumps back in the top 5

[joshj909]

1. Usyk
2. Joshua
3. Hrgovic
4. Fury
5. Zhang
6. Joyce
7. Sanchez
8. Parker
9. Bakole
10. Makhmudov
11. Ajagba
12. Chisora
13. Anderson
14. Wallin
15. Wardley

.....

16. Huni
17. Takam
18. Pero
19. Gassiev
20. Miller

These are all ranked based on their wins/losses over the past 2-3 years. All of them are ranked above those they have beat and below those who they have lost against. The higher the rank of the guy that they beat, the higher their rank. Depth of resume then comes into it after best opponent is factored in and then historic results. Losses against top guys don't do much harm whereas wins against low level guys also do not do much positively to the ranking.

Sanchez and Parker probably need a solid win in their next fight or they will likely drop. Joshua, Fury, Joyce and Chisora will also be in that situation in about 6-10 months.

All of these guys have until at least August 2024 before they get dropped for inactivity so hopefully they stay active before then.

16-20 are one decent win from entering the top 15 and possibly the top 10 if the guys ranked 10-15 don't step up their opposition.

Done. On the OP

[Ruthless-RKO]

I can see inclusion of Ngannou which is fine. It was a pro fight after all.

Whyte probably won’t get ranked.. same as Ruiz.

If he announced a fight by time we close the thread.. then he can be ranked.

[joshj909]

Looks like some second accounts have been dusted off to post their rankings so far

[Finkel]

Looks like some second accounts have been dusted off to post their rankings so far

Looks like some Fury fans really don't want him slipping down the rankings after he embarrassed himself against a debutant.

fornicating hell Sanchez looking to continue the worse run in boxing history....

Areola is nearly 43...

Hasnt had a decent win in over a decade....

thats got sanchez attention...

[joshj909]

I'd drop him a few places for that. He'll be ranked below the guy he best 3 years ago. What a career trajectory

[gregregegg]

As much as i wanted a fresh revote... i hated doing this...

1, Usyk
2, Zhang
3, Fury
4, AJ

6, Joyce
7, Parker
8, Otto
9, Efe
10, Nganu
11, Bakole
12, Wardly
13, Jar anderson
14, Huni
15, Chisora..

DDD, sanchez and Mak truck would be just lurking off the bottom of the list. deserving on tallent, but just haven been doing it for me....

I never seen top top of this division from # 2 to #6 so up in the air. After Uksy, it's really subjective. Not rated as he is retired, Wilder

This division is showing all the signs of heating up.
