----------

We had 3 heavyweight fights over the weekend. Let’s get voting!

Question: After their wins, where are we ranking Tyson Fury, Richard Riakporhe and the already ranked Justis Huni?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Let’s get more votes in this week.

Want to see some movement in these rankings.

Make it easier for me, comment as below:

Fury to #6
Huni to #8
Riakporhe to #14

As an example.

Can always provide your reasons.

[Ruthless-RKO]

How high should Fury go?

He was top 3-4 I think before he ‘retired’.. but since then, only Wardley has made a big jump up.

Dubois lost again since then too.

There’s a saying. “You’re only as good as your last fight.”

[joshj909]

Fury to #11
Riakporhe to #9
Huni to #10

Makhmudov is Fury's only proper win since Chisora 3.5 years ago. He arguably lost against debutant Ngannou and then lost two times plus inactivity. For comparison, Vianello stopped Makhmudov and Wilder just beat Chisora too. Anything higher than that you're counting fights from way too long ago for 2026 rankings.

TKV is a decent enough scalp for Riakporhe. TKV was robbed against Adeleye and beat Clarke so beating him does enough for Riakporhe to get towards the top of the thin lower end of the rankings.

Clarke as a scalp in 2026 is probably not too different to Makhmudov. Both of them have only beat Allen of note recently so Huni is amongst the other two.

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

Fury to #10
Huni to #8
Riakporhe to #12

[tiny_acres]

Fury 7
Huni 12
Riakporhe 15

[CMCanavessi]

Fury 6
Huni 8 (ahead of hrgovic)
Riakporhe still out

[Perkin Warbeck]

Huni to #10
Riakporhe to #11
Fury to #13

We should consider that Vianello did better against Makhmudov than Fury, and that Fury has been inactive and is just 1-2 in his past 3 fights. Although 2 UK judges scored every round for Fury, Makhmudov actually won at least 2 rounds. Fury was afraid to go for a KO yesterday, even though Makhmudov is easy to hit flush.

Similarly, the UK judges scoring in the Huni fight were not fair, he should have won a wide UD with scorecards of around 98-92.

Riakporhe was more impressive yesterday than Fury, and has won all three of his heavyweight fights by stoppage.

Any more votes here

[Cyclops]

Fury to #10
Huni to #11
Riakporhe to #12

Everyone below them drops one place.

There's nothing to get excited about with any of those wins, but all three of them are decent fighters so lets get them ranked. They all had tune-up fights essentially. The real fights for all 3 will come in the latter half of the year, and then we can place them properly.

Fury scrapes the top 10 based on past achievements.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Will keep this open another 5 days.. Okolie is fighting next week.

[Ruthless-RKO]

No more updates?

Bakole's gone in a week. Vianello should've stayed in when Bakole drops

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bakole's gone in a week. Vianello should've stayed in when Bakole drops

By the next votes, if there is a vacant spot and Bakole is most likely out then Vianello will come back in.

He’s at #16 I’d say.

[Ruthless-RKO]

• Bakole exits #9, everyone moves up one place

• Vianello enters at #15

Latest thread.

Dag wished that someone continued the rankings, as he could no longer continue.

So I took it on.
