[Tarkus]

Joshua 10
Parker 15, Cunningham out
Chisora 14

[cold187]

Cunningham out as had dropped out to cruiser weight
Joshua to 14
Parker to 15

[Horse]

No changes.

[tiny_acres]

Actually a tough one. But I guess
Joshua 14
Parker 15
Chisora out

I have wanted Chisora out for a while

[tiny_acres]

Shouldn't we also be voting on Chisora?

[jezzamundo]

Shouldn't we also be voting on Chisora?

Yes, I didn't know he had fought - thanks. I'm editing the topic to include him, can everyone who has already voted please edit their votes to include Chisora.

[Lackeos]

Parker up to clear #12 (ahead of Scott and Teper), Martz remains unranked
Joshua up to clear #12 (ahead of Scott and Teper), Martz remains unranked
Chisora remains at #10, Erdos and Gospic remain unranked

If there is a more proper way to vote for Joshua > Parker > Scott, then we should try to iron out how that works. Because if I vote for Parker Up To #13, then that will get inferred as being behind Scott and Teper.

If you vote for Parker to #13 and Joshua to #12, that relegates Scott and Teper to equal #14.

[Freedom2013]

Topic A - Parker in at #14. Martz remains unranked.

Topic B - Joshua up to #12, Whyte remains unranked.

Topic C - Chisora down to #15, his opponents remain unranked.

[crusader]

Joshua up to #13

Chisora down to #14

I'm not sure if those are the right numbers, but I want Joshua immediately behind Teper and Scott, and Chisora the next guy after Joshua. Unfortunately this gives an undeserved boost to Stiverne, whom I think should be even lower than he currently is, but in my opinion it's a positive change overall. Parker has impressed but due to his relatively weak opposition is just short of a top 15 spot for me.

[Heretic]

So why are we voting on Parker? Hes not on the list an he fought no one on the list or even near it. I think we should wait for vacant spots on the list before we vote new people in like we have done in the past.

My vote.

Parker stays out.

He has not yet proven himself worthy for top 15 spot. My guess is he will do it soon.

Chisora up to 9.

Some points for activity here. Also i think he would murder Szpilka who should not even be on this list.

Joshua to 14.

Mostly for activity. Cunningham has done very little lately so i don't mind moving him down for now.

[keirw]

Joshua up to 14th, just behind the two boys who are joint 12th

Chisora remains 10th

Parker up to 15th at the expense of Cunningham who should drop out as he is moving back down to Cruiser.

Obviously all their recent opponents remain unranked.

[asdfjkl]

Parker and Joshua proved much more already as most of the guys I see in this top 15, I think even Whyte is better as Teper and that cruiserweight that already lost against half Europe, and Malic Scott who barely ever fought Europeans

Remember Chisora beat Malik Scott.

If it is subjective then my vote is;
Joshua up to 4. if objective then up to 11.
Parker in at 12.
Chisora at 13
Scott at 14=
Spilka at 14=
Cunningham drops out now going to box at cruiserweight.

[jezzamundo]

Votes have been tallied, Chisora slips to #10=, Joshua improves to #14, Parker enters at #15, Cunningham slips out of the rankings (although he would have been removed after fighting at cruiserweight anyway).

[tiny_acres]

Are we having one for the Ortiz victory?

[jezzamundo]

Remember Chisora beat Malik Scott.

If it is subjective then my vote is;

Parker in at 12.
Chisora at 13
Scott at 14=
Spilka at 14=
Cunningham drops out now going to box at cruiserweight.

I can't really accept indecisive votes like this, although happily in this case, it wouldn't have made a difference. Non-mathematical rankings are always somewhat subjective. I don't mind what criteria people use when they vote, as long as they follow the prescribed format, unlike this guy:

1 Wladimir Klitschko
2 Povetkin
3 Anthony Joshua
4 Joseph Parker
5 Pulev
6 Chagaev
7 Bryant Jennings
8 Deontay Wilder
9 Carlos Takam
10 Vyacheslav Glazkov
11 Ustinov
12 Dillian Whyte
13 Lucas Browne
14 Erkan Teper
15 Arthur Szpilka
