I can see why Fury is out (didn't fight for a year and "retired" after the Usyk fight), but what happened to AJ and Parker?

AJs fight shouldn't be "too recent", because the list got updated today and Parker should still be Top 3/4.

Ha! Where’s Parker gone?

AJ hadn’t fought since Sept 24

Maybe they didn’t want to re-enter him based on his win over Paul.

It has Parker is out for now due to the positive drug test.

I guess that makes sense.
Parker got his nose in the wrong bag and AJ fought a guy whose biggest win is a 60 year old Mike Tyson.

Still, seeing Wardley on the number one spot is absolutely ridiculous. Who would've guessed that last year?

Wardley in the Number 1 spot makes as much sense as anyone. Nobody else really has a case for it at the moment. I personally wouldn't drop Parker from the rankings, but if they want to, whatever. He'll be back I'd imagine. I'm not really sure why Bakole would be ranked as high as he is.

Tyson Fury has been 'retired' for over a year, so he should have dropped out of the rankings the minute he made that announcement.

Agreed. Announce retirement you should be dropped from all ranking then and there. And as such have to have a comeback fight befor you can fight for a title.

I actually would leave what they say completely out of it. Let like a year go by (or however long) and if a guy hasn't fought, unrank him. Most of them dont mean the stuff they say about their plans, one way or another.

Fury said he retired and still had his belt.. didn’t vacate or anything. And his history of retirements too.

Now Crawford. He said he’s retired Nd he’s actually vacated his belts. So you know it’s real.
