If Ajagba is rated at # 5 Guido Vianello should be rated higher- I felt he beat Ajagba or at least a draw and although he lost his last fight to Richard Torres, Guido has so many above him that are untested and have not fought at the level Guido did.

I know it's hard to rate when you are rating 50-100 men, but Guido deserves better even though he's not a British fighter.

Wardley would be a good fight for Guido, but I think he needs to be appreciated for fighting the guys they are building up like Ajagba - reward a fighter for fighting anyone without the special help and having no favor.

Wardley to 11
Huni to 15
We need to start putting people above Sanchez.

ya wtf is sanchez still doing at 11

keeping this open for now.

Don't intend to make a case for Wilder or Mak who both fought last night.

Closed!

The vote is over.

• Wardley moves up to #11

• Huni enters at #15

Exactly why I didn’t take fury out..

Maybe one day he will actually retire.

But he should be out… he retired 6 months ago and now is speculatively talking about fighting in 9 or 10 months.

Aside from that how on earth is he above DDD… is that based on beating Klitschko 10 years ago or somthing?

Oh stop it!
Let us just have this one, this one time...

It's been aaaages since we could agree on 15 guys in our top 15, to actually have 15.

We’ll let it continue for an eternity because I do not agree with fury in top 15….

So is Wilder back in the Top 15 after the Herndon win for anybody? He almost certainly is with the sanctioning bodies. Or will be when they process it in their records.

Sanctioning bodies do that all the time.

Just gives their ‘champions’ more options.

I do think when I fighter loses.

We don’t be harsh on them and drop them too much.

Then again, Fury lost two close but clear fights back to back against the #1..

I think the relevant wins have to prop up the fighter when there are losses. If they don't have any relevant and recent wins then they don't make it for me. It's been nearly 3 years since Wilder or Fury had one.

That's how eventually Wilder dropped out and this is the lowest AJ has been for ages.
