My Heavyweight Top Ten

My Heavyweight Top Ten

By Henry Walter

The heavyweight division continues to be the most talked about division in boxing. It’s stellar lineup and reguarly evolving landscape is a huge draw for fans of the sport, both hardcore and casual.

Several big fights have occurred in the division recently, with the most recent being lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s harder than expected win over previously undefeated Otto Wallin.

The current fast changing nature of the division means that big change happens fast in the division rankings. What the correct rankings should be is a huge source of debate. Listed below is how I currently see things.

Champion- Andy Ruiz, WBA Super, IBF, WBO & IBO 33-1 (22 KOs)

1. Anthony Joshua 22-1 (21 KOs)

2. Tyson Fury 29-0-1 (20 KOs)

3. Deontay Wilder 41-0-1 WBC (40 KOs)

4. Dillian Whyte 26-1 (18 KOs) *

5. Luis Ortiz 31-1 (26 KOs) (2 No contests)

6. Alexander Povetkin 35-2 (24 KOs)

7. Joseph Parker 26-2 (20 KOs)

8. Kubrat Pulev 27-1 (14 KOs)

9. Michael Hunter 18-1 (12 KOs)

10. Adam Kownacki 20-0 (15 KOs)
