BoxRec Forum HW Top 15 ranking - Vacant #15 Spot

[Ruthless-RKO]

Given Pulev just got dropped due to not fighting in a 12 month period. Who is next up?

Usyk - August
Ruiz Jr. & Ortiz - September
Wilder - October
Fury & Chisora - December

Usyk has a fight scheduled in August, so he's ok.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Also, shouldn't Ngannou's fight record read "debut" if it does end up counting on Fury's record.

Yeh, I did put 0 0 0 at first, then I got bored and put his MMA record on.

Obviously, we all know he's making his debut.

Yeah, I saw that earlier.

Regarding #15, I went with Makhmudov. I think that Takam win has aged quite well, and he can both give and hold a good shot. I suspect Makhmudov would be a very hard night's work for the whole top 15.

I'm still not fully sold on Ajagba. His loss to Sanchez wasn't really a surprise.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Continue the votes lads.

They not too far apart.

[adislav123]

put the cuban clash between old man ortiz and even older looking frank flash sanchez on the undercard of the hopefully soon agreed upon
decider who's the top heavy in the usa between ruiz & wilder.

if bakole and joe parker would also get a fight, we would've a fully scheduled out top 15!

They just call them co-main event don't they?

Anderson skipped Zhan..

If they've sorted out the VISA issue, then why not Anderson-Zhan and then have Efe-Rudenko.

Except for Ortiz maybe, I like the ranking. It took time, but it finally purged itself.

Yeh. Took time.

It’s good to get fresh meat in. Should have gotten them in ages ago, but some hardly fight.

[gregregegg]

So Goodall just stopped Shaw… does that get huni top 15….

Efe who was or 16 went close with Shaw… Goodall who huni beat up just stopped Shaw…

Probably won’t get him in most people’s eyes but but it must get him close because that Goodall won ages well. Huni just needs some activity without breaking his hands….

Solid win for Goodall. Probably does a bit of damage to Ajagba's resume moreso than boosting Huni's. Don't think that gets Huni in because he doesn't have the other wins yet while Ajagba has a solid win over Demirezen.
