I'm not sure how to vote this time since it says champ vacant? AJ champ, Klitschko remains rank 1?

Wach and Teper remain out

Pulev lowers to rank 8

AJ to champ and Wlad #1 is a perfectly acceptable vote - I was considering doing that myself and may change my mind. AJ is clearly 'the man' at heavyweight now, as long as Tyson Fury stays fat and out of the ring.

Oke, ty
and Stiverne out, Bellew 14, Jun Long Zhang 15

Good joke
Stiverne's ranking will be up for vote again in May - I think we can expect to see him booted out then.

I heard Wilder saying yesterday that he preferes Ortiz and Stiverne to fight first before he has to face Stiverne, so this might take longer as you expect, the WBC usually listens to Wilder his wishes.

My vote: Wach to #15, Teper remains unranked

Topic C - How are the rankings affected by Anthony Joshua's TKO11 win over Wladimir Klitschko

My vote: Joshua to #1, W.Klitschko to #2

- Thomas Hauser recently compiled a heavy top 20 poll from 30 "experts" and used my method averaging their total chronological ratings and got an average of 1.58 or so for #1 Ali just barely edging #2 Louis, much more informative numbers than the median.

A: Wach to 15 and Teper out

B: Pulev to 3 and Johnson out

C: Josh champ and Wlad to 1

Wlad's unified titles in a epic Joe Louis type reign that got busted up by Fury were partially unified by Josh. All credit due.....

[Heretic]

A. Wach to #13 Teper stays out

B. Pulev to #3 Johnson stays out

C. Joshua to Champion Wlad to #1

Very good win for Joshua. We did see some flaws in hes game. The stamina is not all that great and he seems to have a bit of trouble against opponent that moves well and punches hard. Prime Wlad would have won against Joshua quite easily. Good for him that there is no such fighters in division at the moment. Joshua will be a champ for a long time.

all a bit difficult now because it could be a top 16 for some people. and Hughie Fury needs to be considered inactive as does Stiverne.

C: Anthony Joshua to Champion Wlad remains at 1.
A: Wach to the position directly under Christian Hammer. Erkham Teper the next position.
B. Pulev no change. Johnson unranked.

[the_doctor]

Topic A - Wach to 15th, Teper unranked

Topic B - Pulev 6th, Kingpin unranked

Topic C - If we're having a Boxrec Champion, it has to be Joshua. Klitschko to #1.

[BitPlayer]

Wach and Teper unranked
Pulev to 6, Johnson stays unranked
Joshua to 1 Wlad to 2

[Sequitorian]

Always post the fighters' records next to their names when you do this ...

[Rob3_142]

Topic A - Wach to #15, Teper remains unranked (if Wach is voted into #15, does this mean Hughie is pushed out?)

Topic B - Pulev remains at #6, Johnson remains unranked

Topic C - Joshua to Champ, W.Klitschko to #1

I'm surprised that there was not a Topic D discussing Hughie's rankings, especially considering the change in his circumstances.
