In terms of present, I think Sunny Edwards (irritating as he is) is certainly a better boxer than Benn, Eubank Jr, or Okolie. Strong arguments could be made for a couple of the featherweights (Warrington, Leigh Wood), maybe Liam Smith, and also a couple of names at 175 (Buatsi, Callum Smith, possibly Yarde).
Think my list would be:
1. Fury
2. Taylor
3. Edwards
4. Okolie
5. Joyce
Not sure if Benn would crack the top 10 if I'm honest. Hard to say he's more accomplished than any of the above.

Taylor
Fury
Edwards
Joshua

No way Fury’s resume is better than Taylor’s - Taylor has as good a resume at world level as any UK fighter of the past 25 years. Lucky boy against JC but it’s a win all the same

Top 5. Without hand troubles, probably would have been 1.
