He hasn't fought in like 9 months and the one fight he had was against Miljan Rovcanin (3RD TKO). He struggled in a win over Chisora. He's disappeared. He's slow and sometimes seems out of condition. I just don't see it.

I agree with you actually. Maybe worth a reconsider. For me, the list gets extremely weak towards the bottom. I think he's benefitted more than maybe he should from Chisora's good showings against better fighters.

I'm thinking I've put Miller a bit high too.

OH I'm dropping Miller down at this point. This latest debacle has me at wit's end.

rovcanin drew with dimitrenko who had just destroyed granat and later floored jennings, it was a decent win for kabayel to destroy him

look at the lack of depth, no idea why ppl are talking like kabayel doesnt belong in the lower top 15.....if u say that chances are uve still got in del (who he beat) or guys like hrvovic, joyce, hunter etc who havent won anything better

i also thought about dropping Miller down, but #8 is probably the lowest place for him, i can't rank Parker above him as he lost to Whyte (after a close fight though, i had it 113-112) and recently fought even worse opponent than Miller does. the problem with Miller is that he never stepped up so far, Parker at least fought a lot of decent fighters, he lost but i would still favour him over Whyte in a rematch

the most surprising name on the list so far is obviously Marco Huck at #20, i am shocked that some people have him in top 15 at HW

millers wins maks him top 10 easily imo, again, gotta compare him to others, in the lower top 10 no one really has major wins

He beat the beloved povetkin IMO, granted that was ages ago.

There most certainly is a lack of depth in the HW division, so it would be expected to have such disparate picks at the 11-15 places when there is a glut of 10 -13 fighters outside the top 10 who might probably be at least somewhat competitive with one another. At least I think so. My next ratings might probably be a might different. Tweaks are a comin'!

I admit I rushed my ratings and rather than spend time on the last several places I inserted Huck on a coin flip. He'll probably be dropped from my rankings the next round.

BTW: Rovcanin was even (split) on the scorecards vs Dimentrenko and was disqualified in the 10th. just to clarify.

it was a draw (deductions saved dimi) but then it got changed after the fight in a very unusual move

I'd be interested to hear what method everyone has used to rank their top15s. I personally looked at wins and losses on records and therefore had Kabayel above Chisora, and then used some subjectivity in closer decisions such as having Fury above Wilder.

I imagine some people have looked at performances and/or potential as well, hence having Huck who has only beat a nobody at HW, and Joyce who has potential but not really beat anyone?

1. Joshua
2. Fury
3. Wilder
4. Povetkin
5. White
6. Ortiz
7. Pulev
8. Parker
9. Hrgovic
10. Miller
11. Breazeale
12. Kownacki
13. Chisora
14. Jennings
15. Hunter

Kabayel sneaked in a MD against Chisora so they were about equal, with Kabayel slightly ahead. Since then, Kabayel has had one fight in 13 months and that against a guy with a totally inflated record. Chisora has won against the decent (not stellar) Carlos Takam and had a life and death fight against Whyte. While I respect recent head to head fights and not personal opinion should determine the rankings in any rating system, subsequent activity and performance should count as well, thereby flipping who is ahead out of the two of them.

I get that. I don't see a year ago being that long, make it two and they could be completely different boxers. Also, by beating Chisora and then Chisora beating Takam, I move Kabayel up along with Chisora. So, say prior to the fights they were ranked:
1. CT 2. DC 3. AK.
After the first
1..CT 2.AK 3.DC
and then after the second I will is make it
1.AK 2.DC 3.CT

Just my thought process,

the most important factor to me was current potential (who beats who) but other factors like future potential and resume were important too.

Just my thought process,

i get that too. Both your logic and my logic are valid arguments. If Kabayel had beaten anyone within the last year with any sort of pedigree, then he'd be ahead. But At this point in his career, by doing nothing, seems to indicate that Kabayel is going nowhere fast. It's a line call and we both had our reasons and logic for our choices.

would it have seemed much better if kabayel destroyed dimitrenko instead of rovcanin? i mean because watch that fight, rovcanin gets the better of dimi and it was only a draw instead of a rovcanin win initially because of deductions in a fight where dimi was just as fouling. dimi was coming off a good win and is jennings best win in several years (dropping him too)

its not like rovcanin was a total unproven nobody, he was at least as good as dimi, who was around top 25 himself at the time

20 votes. Well done !

Dimitrenko top 25 at that time? i doubt it. at least not for me, but yeah, maybe he was ranked by some in top 25 due to his win vs Granat but i had him probably at 40-50, i couldn't rank him higher after the Parker fight.

i think around top 25 for sure, granat was starting to creep into top 15s when dimi flattened him and again when u move down the rankings outside top 10 or so your not dealing with much
