Can we not discuss Fury as champion and Wlad's inactivity?

Can I vote for more than one fighter to move to the same position?

Not in this topic, but seeing as both have been inactive for over a year now, I'll make another topic about it soon.

Yes.

Kubrat Pulev - Down to No. 6
Joseph Parker - Up to No. 5
Andy Ruiz - Enters at No. 10
Dillian Whyte - Enters at No. 10
Dereck Chisora - Up to No. 10
Anthony Joshua - Stays at No. 7
Luis Ortiz - Stays at No. 4

The rest - Stay out


Jennings, Glazkov, Browne, Stiverne & Szpilka all seem a little high. I think that we need a mini clear-out at the bottom of the rankings.

I don't think that people should be too stingy with their rankings placements for the new guys.

Mayeb there could do with with the bottom 5 all getting voted on at the end of each year, it'd help let new guys in.

How can Joshua go to 1 for beating someone non top 15, and when his best win wasagainst an injured version of a barely top 15 fighter?

for me Joshua has a better resume and better skills than Wilder and based on actual achievements and his future potential i think he already deserves 1st spot (Klitschko is retiring soon, Ortiz and Povetkin are old too). AJ, Povetkin, Ortiz and Wilder have beaten b-level fighters like Jennings Thompson Charr Takam Perez Wach Martin Breazeale Molina Stiverne Duhaupas Szpilka etc just AJ was the most impressive defeating them). who deserves the 1st spot more than AJ?

btw how about making such a ranking of Cruiserweight? it seems to be the most exciting division right now.

Topic A - How are the rankings affected by Kubrat Pulev's RTD3 win over Samuel Peter?.
Pulev to #6

Topic B - How are the rankings affected by Joseph Parker's MD12 win over Andy Ruiz?
Parker to #7, Ruiz to #13

Whyte to #14 Chisora to #15

Ortiz to #5, Allen stays unranked.

Topic A - Pulev remains at #5, Peter remains unranked

Topic B - Parker to #11, Ruiz to #12 (Parker didn't look like a top 10 HW to me)

Topic C - Whyte to #14, Chisora out.

Topic D - Joshua to #3, Molina remains unranked (Joshua looked way better than Wilder, who has been inactive while most other HWs are fighting)

Topic E - Ortiz remains at #4, Allen remains unranked

Topic A

No change.

Quality of opponent not good enough to change ranks.

Topic B

Parker to #9 Ruiz to #8 (Parker Between Takam and Jennings)

I had Ruiz winning the fight. I am voting accordingly. Both belong on the low end of top10. Ruiz would give tough fight to anyone on the list.

Topic C

Chisora to #12 Whyte to enter at #13

I had Chisora wining the fight. If Chisora would have gone for points win instead of trying to force the stoppage he would have won pretty easily. Whyte has great chin and good stamina. I think he should enter the list. I think he would win against Szpilka and Duhaupas.

Topic D

No change.

Quality of opponent not good enough to change ranks.

Topic E

No change.

Quality of opponent not good enough to change ranks.

Jennings is coming up to a year of inactivity as well.

With this many new rankings, may we make a completely own top 15? Just in case with only the names on this list?

Certainly not. These rankings are a ten year work-in-progress, I'm not going to disrespect everyone's efforts in voting for the past decade and start again fresh.

Having 5 topics and possibly 3 other, Wlad's, Jennings, Glazkov inactivity plus Browne may be suspended does cause a bit of a mess. Not sure how you are going to sort the voting out on this one, people just putting their up to 10 etc is not right because of fighters moving down etc.

I agree it is harder to get your head around how to make a vote, but if people simply vote in the prescribed manner it will work.
