Here is the BoxRec top 10 heavyweight rankings - and how the hell is Joshua #1 when he has never even fought one top heavy? Likewise Wilder #3. Povetkin is the real #1. What the hell am I looking at there anyway? Breazeale, Scott, Jones in the top ten? Huh? Haye #17?

Yeah that list is terrible. Boxrec rankings are always weird. Malik Scott shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10. Ortiz doesn't belong in the top 5. He's a KO waiting to happen. Wilder is his typical fraud self. Even the dwfs don't take him serious. Hughy fury should hopefully move up. I also am pretty excited about Trey Lippe. He has that same explosive power his dad had, he just needs to fight a big name. Why is Klitschko not on there?

Yeah where is Wlad on that dumb list!? Trey Lippe just had to cancel a fight because of a broken hand. Hopefully it's not a career ending injury. He also cancelled a fight in Feb due to a cut in training.
