Question: How have the weekends results impacted the rankings?

We are voting on Joshua, Parker, Zhang and Huni

Can vote on AJ and Huni manually.

Huni isn't in the rankings yet.

Vote for Parker and Zhang on the poll.

You get 2 votes. One for each. please use them.

Parker to 2
Joshua to 3
Zhang to 6
Huni remains out as his win over Lerena is not as impressive at #15 Wallins win over Gassiev.

Reasoning is that although Joshua does have that win over Parker, that was a long time ago. In the past 2 years Parker has better wins. They also both have wins and losses in a sort of round robin way with Whyte, Zhang, Joyce and Ruiz all beating or losing to another who has beat or lost to the other. Basically, you can't squat in the rankings.

This makes my rankings:
1. Usyk
2. Parker
3. Hrgovic
4. Joshua
5. Zhang
6. Fury
7. Joyce
8. Kabayel
9. Bakole
10. Makhmudov
11. Ajagba
12. Dubois
13. Anderson
14. Wallin
15. Huni

To supplement my above post, the relevant records of the top 5 in the past 2 years:
1. Usyk: AJ (W 2022) > Dubois (W)
2. Parker: Joyce (L 2022) > Wilder (W) > Zhang (W)
3. Joshua: Usyk (L 2022) > Wallin (W) > Ngannou (W)
4. Hrgovic: Zhang (W 2022)
5. Zhang: Hrgovic (L 2022) > Joyce (W+W) > Parker (L)
6. Fury: Whyte (W 2022) > Chisora (W) > Ngannou (W*)

Joshua to #6
Huni stays out

Question: How have the weekends results impacted the rankings?

We are voting on Joshua, Parker, Zhang and Huni

- All I see is 3 suggested vote boxes for Parker and 2 for Zhang.

Don't see any for AJ or Huni.

I vote keep AJ #2, move Parker to #3, Zhang to #4 that should bump Flubber back in any fair poll. Keep Huni where he is.

Huni remains outside of the top 15.

Joshua stays put,
Huni just outside the top 15 for me, so no change

Parker and Zhang swap.

Huni to 15. (I don’t think it was the best performance, and ottos last win is better than this win I guess, but gassiev looked poor and Otto looked poor in that fight… plus Otto got demolished last fight)

Parker and Zhang swap. That puts Parker above Hrg, his resume is definitely deeper now with recent wins over Zhang and Wilder.
Huni replaces Wallin. Wallin has to do better than just giving Tyson Fury fits because Ngannou did that and we saw his true level last weekend.
Joshua did what was asked of him. It looked a fairly decent fight in the lead up, but wasn't. I don't think he should be any lower because of it.

Edit: Might be a bit of Antipodean bias with Huni, but I've been watching him for a while and the kids got promise, even if he is a bit small.

parker to 4
zhang to 6

no other changes

Given the choices

Parker to 4
Zhang to 6

Parker 4.
Zhang 6.

Joshua 3.

Huni 15.

1. Usyk
2. Joshua
3. Parker
4. Fury
5. Hrgovic
6. Zhang
7. Kabayel
8. Bakole
9. Joyce
10. Sanchez
11. Wallin
12. Ajagba
13. Dubois
14. Huni
15. Makhmudov

Joshua 2
Huni stays out

huni is very young for a hw and has plenty of time to improve, but not impressed in his last few fights, looks like a guy without the power + chin combo for his style. i guess the lower top 15 is weak enough that he has an argument though, at least he's in shape and has some gas

I'd have the Top 5 as

1. Usyk
2. Fury
3. Joshua
4. Parker
5. Hrgovic

Zhang at 6. If you wanted to switch out Zhang and Hrgovic that's perfectly reasonable.

I think we are at a juncture where so many of the top heavies are getting close to retirement and what is coming up doesn't meet the current standards

Take it we'll be voting on Joyce and Whyte after tonight? Might be tough trying to work out where to wedge Whyte into our rankings

Would he have still been in the ranking? When we did the overhaul?

The vote is over.

Changes: Parker and Zhang swap places.

I reckon he would have. Despite being relatively inactive and only having a win over Franklin over the past 2 years, the depth in his resume over the previous few years was easily top 3. Not sure where I'd have him, maybe 10-15 at the moment, but I think a few might have him higher.

Joyce needs to go down
