--------------------

After this weekends result.. What are we doing with Fabio Wardley - 18(17) 0 1 .. Let's put it in a poll..

[Perkin Warbeck]

Wardley in at #14, Miller out.

[joshj909]

In at 15. He's got a few reasonable wins and this one puts him above the rest of the other heavyweights. He's also reasonably busy. Needs to be looking upwards now.

My current rankings:
1. Usyk
2. Dubois
3. Parker
4. Fury
5. Joshua
6. Zhang
7. Kabayel
8. Bakole
9. Chisora
10. Ajagba
11. Wallin
12. Joyce
13. Hrgovic
14. Vianello
15. Wardley

[margaret thatcher]

12 for fab

[Ruthless-RKO]

As it stands..

Wardley enters at #14

[DrDuke]

Warldey enters at 14.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Shame No one cares for Wardley.

[joshj909]

Shame No one cares for Wardley.

I think unfortunately he probably needs to beat a big name, likely a big British name, for people to take note and take him more seriously. At the moment he's probably the 7th biggest British heavyweight in terms of draw or fame.

Who’s above him?

DDD
AJ
Whyte
Fury
Joyce?
Chisora?

Yep. However, Joyce, Chisora and Whyte are ones that he'd have a good crack at but they're currently bigger names. They'd also be a step up for him even if he could be the favourite if they fought.

Yh now he needs that win over an established boxer.

HW’s a different ball game. One punch can change anything and he could very well lose to those 3 you mentioned.

[KiwiRider]

I think #13 is good for Fabs.
We have a true KO artist here, with a reasonable chin, and the future looks exciting.
I could see him detonating on Joyce, Whyte, Chisora, Bakole, Ajagba and Hunter. We will have to see what opportunities he gets...

Vote it

[ewenhay]

No change.

Wardley has some potential but he needs to beat a bigger name now.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Not closed this yet

[Manrae]

He remains out for me, though I don't have any disagreement with him being in the top 10 or 15

[joshj909]

Dubois (#3) looks set to defend his IBF belt against Wardley. We will likely compare his performance to that of Joshua, Hrgovic and Miller.

[joshj909]

Just a summary of what looks like we have ahead:

#1 Usyk vs #2 Fury
#3 Dubois vs #13~ Wardley
#4 Parker vs #5 Zhang
#7 Kabayel vs #8 Bakole
#12 Chisora vs #15 Miller

Unranked:
Itauma vs McKean
Fisher vs Allen

Not looking too bad...

Hrgovic, Ajagba, Sanchez, Joyce and Wallin need to step it up, as do many of the others outside the top 15.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Justis Huni-Leandro Robutti scheduled for December 11

[margaret thatcher]

justis gone back to fighting domestic level guys until he can land another saudi show or something?

[pound per pound]

Yes.

Fury is going to be fat and old. Zhang is already there. Chrisora is there. Miller is there. Maybe with a win it is not too far-fetched for Wardley to be ranked in this top 15.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The vote is over.

- Fabio Wardley enters at #14
- Jarrell Miller is bumped out

[Ruthless-RKO]

#12 v #13 for us

Chisora-Wallin

[Perkin Warbeck]

Some sources are reporting Kabayel-Zhang and Dubois-Parker have been agreed upon for February 22/25. It would be great to have these two excellent heavyweight matchups on the same card.

Hrgovic has been reported to be fighting Wardley, Sanchez, or Ajagba next, but the IBF has ordered Ajagba-Bakole.

Wilder says he's not retiring, and will be fighting again soon.
