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

Let's vote on Murat Gassiev and Artem Suslenkov. Both won via stoppage on weekend. Will keep open until before next weekend. Neither are currently ranked in the top 15. Did they do enough to be voted in?

I am tempted to put Gassiev at #15.

We recently had to bump out Vianello though. So not sure.

Will think about it.

Thanks for sharing the updated rankings. There are many good fighters on the list, and I think some of them will move up after their next fights. Watching these changes feels a lot like playing Slope Game, where every move matters. It will be fun to see how the rankings look after the upcoming matches.

Gassiev enters at #14 - I think he would beat several at the low end of the top 15, for example Torrez.

Suslenkov enters at #15 (he did better than Hrgovic against Joyce, winning by stoppage, and has a win over Hunter as well).

Gassiev 12
Suslenkov 13

No changes

My current rankings:
1. Usyk
2. Dubois
3. Wardley
4. Kabayel
5. Parker
6. Sanchez
7. Ajagba
8. Wilder
9. Torrez
10. Riakporhe
11. Huni
12. Fury
13. Vianello
14. Itauma
15. Hrgovic

None of those go in

Edit: Otto Wallin vs Sirenko is also scheduled for july 26, you may want to add that one to the list (won't change anything probably anyways)

Gassiev 14
Suslenkov 15

I think Tyson Fury should be rated higher 'although technical he has lost three of his last four fights i.e. he lost vs. Francis Ngannou but was given the victory, then Oleksandr Uysk twice back to back. Regardless of those performances, he has never been knocked out, and he was competitive in all of those fights'.

Note: So yes? Tyson Fury is not ranked as high 'but within the boxing community, I still believe people rate him ether above Agit Kabayel or just below him'.

Tyson Fury last win was a borderline world level win vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov 'to just suddenly decided to return from a supposed retirement, and win such a fight was impressive' etc.

He should be lower. Vianello was more impressive against Makhmudov, who was Fury's only win in years. Now Greedy Belly is disgracing himself again by fighting poor old shot Marius Wach, when he should be fighting a decent prime journeyman like Adeleye or Dacres.

1. Usyk
2. Dubois
3. Kabayel
4. Wardley
5. Fury
6. Parker
7. Sanchez
8. Gassiev
9. Ajagba
10. Wilder
11. Torrez
12. Riakporhe
13. Itauma
14. Huni
15. Hrgovic

Gassiev pays for his wins and his rankings.
Wilder is nothing anymore
Riakporhe and Itauma havent fought anyone
and Hrgovic is just a punchbag

Who's doing more that should be in their place?

I am factoring in that Tyson Fury 'is a former Lineal ring magazine champion, and former WBC, WBA, WBO, IBO World Heavyweight Champion. Those achievements and feats don't just disappear from his resume, due to lost'.

Note: Yes. I agree? Tyson Fury technically in my opinion has lost 3 of his last 4 fights 'he was beaten by Francis Ngannou, and then Oleksandr Uysk twice back to back'.

But nevertheless, he has still not been knocked out 'and he has been competitive in all of his fights win or lose'.

Tyson Fury should be rated higher 'until somebody smashes him up real good and conclusively' etc.

Gassiev enters at #15 - Last minute replacement isn't the best showcase

Suslenkov stays out for now - even in Round 11, Joyce looking exhausted was still marching forward and eating shots until he said no more. Joyce should either retire or just be used sparingly to give British fighters rounds, but I really don't like seeing him defend with his face anymore

WILL CLOSE THIS OFF TOMORROW

After tomorrow there'll be a slight Shakeup to the list.

The vote is over.

Wallin/Sirenko and Ruiz/Knyba are somewhat interesting. The other two not so much

Just a minor thing, but is Gassiev #14 or #15?
