Pulev - Inactive for 9 months. Since the beginning of 2020, he is 1-2 with a win over Forrest 11 months ago and a loss over Chisora 9 months ago plus the loss to Joshua.

Ortiz - Inactive for 7 months. Since the beginning of 2020, he is 2-1 with a loss to Ruiz Sep 2022 and wins over Charles Martin and Alexander Flores before that. Although his win over Martin was not seen as great at the time, it was respectable. Since Kownacki has been demolished by fringe top 15 opponents, I guess that also reflects on Martin and therefore Ortiz's win since Kownacki beat Martin also.

Chisora - Inactive for 4 months. Since the beginning of 2020, he is 1-4 with a win over Pulev in July 2022 but with losses to Fury, Parker x2 and Usyk (which are all respectable losses to be honest).

Changing the rules without a complete reset would take away the integrity of the work that has been done setting them up

That's definitely fair imo. Could probably make exceptions where a fighter on 10 or 11 months inactivity doesn't have anything scheduled though.

It’s usually the 12 month mark with nothing scheduled.

I'd bet Jah would stop Efe at this point.

• Frank Sanchez climbs up one place to #10

• Jared Anderson enters at #15, bumping out Efe Ejegba

He will get back in soon enough, the bar is pretty low.

margaret thatcher wrote: ↑15 Apr 2023, 22:41
something like zhang 6, joyce 7, parker down to 8, whyte 9 etc

margaret thatcher wrote: ↑15 Apr 2023, 23:28 joyce just battered and ko'd parker 2 fights ago, saying he's done nothing to be ahead of parker makes 0 sense. and parker hasnt done anything in years to put him ahead of jjoyce

chisora is the best parker has beaten in at least 7 years
