BoxRec Forum HW Top 15 ranking - New Rankings Update!

[margaret thatcher]

first dudes are cruisers, neither remotely close to a hw top 15

mark looks a decent heavy (small but well schooled former world am champ) but still well off. browne is a bit of a name though so i suppose it's a somewhat notable of a fight at a lower level

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yes, they are, their rankings are from CW.

Fight's listed as HW.

[gregregegg]

If tish is moving too heavy I guess he could be fringe top 50 off the bat. But will he get good fights?

In theory a terrifying addition… 6”5 southpaw Olympic gold medalist…. But has been underwhelming as a Pro. Still, as long as he has a bit of a chin should be able to cause a lot of heavy’s issues.

coudlnt win a round vs mchunu and very lucky to get a split over yves ngabu, i don't think he'll be too troublesome. he's a bit of a softy

Win over Yves Ngabu was a gift. We'll never hear about him again.

Would've been an easy win for Zhang

Would've been an easy win for Zhang

He came out said he didn't want it.

Probably not lucrative enough for him.

Which is udnerstandable.

He won't have many fights, and he will want to maximise profits.

Trying to sell his cherry to the highest bidder, I suppose. Maybe he can start an only fans for the Furyettes with his big cory.

But, yeah, they are doing the correct thing to not put him straight in with Zhang. Zhang seemed genuinely pissed off at Fury's performance and would end Ngannou's hype very quickly.

oof, tony yoka loses yet again, not even picking on a b tier cruiserweight was enough

Terrible career to date for the former Olympic gold medalist. He should lower his level even further if he wants to get a win somehow.

[margaret thatcher]

he is so mentally shot it's almost sad to watch

[gregregegg]

Incredible stuff from Yoka.

gold medalist, fast tracked, just 18 months ago he was a top prospect. now he should retire.

but just because I really feel it has to happen... Him Vs joyce now i recon.... just do it. there both in such a bad spot, loser retires, winner can go again mabey... I think its the best possible fight that could be made for either of them. but its not exactly good.

Too many old men ranked in the top 15. This division is Hrgovic's in 2025.

[margaret thatcher]

hrg got his arse sat down by one of them too

Wrong. He beat a raked guy who threw him down and the ref counted it as knockdown. Yet when he landed and made his man do split, that wasn't called a knockdown. Whatever he beat him. At least Zhang would fight him.

Not a chance

[gregregegg]

Absolutely not ranked. Good name for a prospect to hunt though. Huni vs pulev would be nice. Or Anderson , torrez, any class prospect really.

Hrgovic or Sanchez vs Pulev on this Saudi card would have been great.
