There are boxers below 15 that have better recent activity and wins that Wallin since his last decent win.

-DDD almost but his last win was very weird.
-Jar anderson could nearly leap in given his demo job of forrest...
-Deadset lucus brown could be on the list right now given how weak things are... if he chins big roidy miller in march im voting him in hhaha.

I know people will argue with the positions of Usyk/Fury, Joyce, Wilder and Chisora because of the "eye test" but their records leave them there for me.

1) Usyk
2) Fury
3) Joshua
4) Ruiz
5) Whyte
6) Joyce
7) Parker
8) Wilder
9) Sanchez
10) Bakole
11) Ajagba
12) Chisora
13) Hrgovic
14) Makhmudov
15) Demirezen

4-7 is difficult but I've gone with strength of resume and favouring more recent head to head wins.

9-5 is mostly picking guys who have the best wins of the remaining top 30 or so guys but there's not much in it. Ajagba's position has been boosted by Demirezen's wins since their fight. A win for Takam over Yoka would probably switch Makhmudov and Bakole in this list but a win for Yoka would probably leapfrog him over Makhmudov.

Could you really make an argument that anyone from number nine all the way down to number 15 would actually have a shot of beating anyone from number 8 to number one? I don't see how anyone really could. That's why I think a lot of these ratings today are not really all that solid. Competitors often ranked in the top 10 or 15 in reality ought to be in the top 20 or 30.

Arslanbek Makhmudov
Daniel Dubois
Efe Ajagba

Any more?

Will put them to a poll.
