Question: How are the rankings affected by Anderson and Ajagba winning over the weekend.

[gregregegg]

Guido could overtake Otto for me based on last night, but that’s probably not popular. Nothing else is a possibility to me.

[joshj909]

Unimpressive or not, a win is a win. I'd just be adjusting their positions rather than reacting to their wins.

Ajagba to 10.
Then Anderson up 1 to 13 above Wilder.

My own rankings remain the same.
1. Usyk
2. Parker
3. Hrgovic
4. Joshua
5. Zhang
6. Fury
7. Joyce
8. Kabayel
9. Bakole
10. Makhmudov
11. Ajagba
12. Dubois
13. Anderson
14. Wallin
15. Whyte

[George_Jones88]

No change for either

[Belanio]

Anderson stays at #13, Ajagba out.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Anderson stays at #13, Ajagba out.

on a win really??

[JonnyKupfer]

Anderson #12
Ajagba #15

[CMCanavessi]

I would just swap their positions, so Ajagba stays ahead of Anderson.

[gregregegg]

Anderson stays at #13, Ajagba out.

on a win really??

Not that crazy position. He got hurt and won a tight split against a guy many didn’t consider top 50.

Judges could have easily said he lost… if he lost to boxrec 100 guido of corse he would be out…

weird that because couple judges say he nicked it people have him going up…

They likely have not seen it.

depending on the context, it's perfectly legit for a guy's stock to lower on a win. he was badly hurt and barely beat a much lower ranked guy. i doubt there would have been any outrage if guido had gotten it. if you leave it all to official result youre basically a slave to thee judges

there is no rule of the universe that as long as a guy wins he cant go down. similarly, it's legit to move guys up when they lose in some cases

still, no change for me. if our #15 was moree convincing then wallin i might switch them with efe though

[KiwiRider]

After finally catching both fights, Ajagba goes down one, swaps with Wally I guess.l, for lack of anyone better.
Ajagba needed to have romped home against an opposition way below where he should be at.
We said originally when doing this list that fighters taking low level fights should be marked against them, and this wasn't even the one sided walkover it should have been.
As for Anderson- lucky to retain his spot.

[tiny_acres]

no change either fighter

Do I have to take the ranking list here for granted? I could have been of the opinion before the fight that Ajagba didn't belong in the top 15.

[ironbeard]

No changes.

[Ruthless-RKO]

It's nice to see the list full of fights scheduled and with top ranked HW's

Last few year, we was hardly getting any activity and when we did, most where fighting guys outside the top 15.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Junior Fa has announced his retirement..

So Mak has a new opponent

Weird to announce it before a fight rather than after. Obviously doesn't want the money. Rovcanin is a terrible opponent.

Is weird, I guess he couldn’t say know to the Saudi cash when it was offered but later decided he wanted to look after his brain and Mabey that he was financial stable enough to be happy.

If it’s me I am taking that Saudi cash, fighting with a crazy high guard leaving my body completly exposed and going down first clean body shot…. fornicate it, retiring anyway, might as well get paid…
