Question: How are the rankings affected after Deontay Wilder defeated Derek Chisora via split decision last night?

Keep it simple like below example:

Chisora - OUT
Wilder - 12

You can explain reasons if you have any..

[joshj909]

Wilder to #9
Chisora to #12

My current rankings:
1. Usyk
2. Wardley
3. Parker
4. Kabayel
5. Dubois
6. Zhang
7. Ajagba
8. Torrez
9. Bakole
10. Wilder
11. Vianello
12. Hrgovic
13. Chisora
14. Itauma
15. Huni

[Ruthless-RKO]

Are going to wait for Chisora to officially announce his retirement?

[gilgamesh]

Champion: Oleksandr Usyk
1. Wardley
2. Kabayel
3. Parker
4. Dubois
5. Zhang
6. Ajagba
7. Itauma
8. Hrgovic
9. Bakole
10. Torrez
11. Vianello
12. Wilder
13. Gassiev
14. Huni
15. Chisora

Either Fury or Makhmudov are going to push Chisora out after their bout next week.

[joshj909]

Are going to wait for Chisora to officially announce his retirement?

I think wait until he announced it. Fury or Makhmudov will join in a week. Sanchez and Bakole will probably leave soon too. If he retires then there could be a vote to fill all the vacant gaps

Wilder 12
Chisora enjoy retirement

[Perkin Warbeck]

Wilder #14

Chisora out, he's retired.

Everybody below Chisora move up one (Vianello to #13, Huni to #12, Torrez Jr. to #11.

[PUGLET]

Both Chisora and Wilder are done… they knew it, and now we know it. Respect your HEART. You men have fought with courage.

[CMCanavessi]

Both should remain out.

Also: why is Itauma suddenly ahead of Sanchez? Latest ranking I saw (on the Ajagba thread) he was #10. When was he voted to go #9? Where is the Itauma - Franklin thread?

Not that I'm complaining, I think Itauma should be way higher. I'm just trying to understand what I missed

It ended up on the British section.

Itauma definitely has to be ahead of Frank Sanchez. Frank Sanchez hasn't done anything in quite a while. Sanchez could change that with an upset win over Torrez though of course.

[Finkel]

Wilder #11
Chisora #15

Although I wouldn't put an aging Wilder in top 10, a shot-Chisora is a better win than some

[Ruthless-RKO]

Wilder #11
Chisora #15

Yh an a shot Chisora worked his way into the top 15

[oogiebe]

Neither rated

[Cyclops]

I quite enjoyed it but I can’t with any conscience have either of them two as top 15 heavyweights.

Chisora out

Wilder not back in

[Ruthless-RKO]

Will close this today as we have 3 HW fights this weekend.,
