Top 10 Heavyweights - June 2024 

Andy Ruiz got completely forgot...that's what inactivity does to your reputation.

I wouldnt put USYK number 1. Because he is in a class of his own. Usyk and rank the others. Guy achieved everything possible. Olympic Medal first CW 4 belt era unified champion first HW 4 belt era unified champion. He never had a fight in Ukraine and trashed everyone on his opponents backyard. His resume is fucking stacked. Hard fight after hard fight. He is miles ahead anyone in the list.

for the first time in years it actually feels like a good thing to be a boxing fan. usyk has torn right through the heavyweight division and made himself one of the greatest heavyweights ever, joshua has gone on a huge comeback and looks better than ever, parker is in the best form of his life and has gotten huge wins, and dubois has seriously impressed me recently, i think he got rushed to the top way too fast but now he's got the experience he needs to be a top competitor. i also thought fury looked great against usyk, i expect the rematch to be another screamer

Nobody wants to see Usyk Dubois 2

Keep it up Rummy. Always enjoy your boxing coverage of past and present.

Usyk's skills are second to NONE

Usyk is just the best of this generation. He is seriously on the GOAT talk also

Usyk - Parker would be fun to watch stylistically. Then we have Joshua - Dubois, also a good match. Fury - Zhang looks fun as well. How cool would it be if all of that happens.

Deonte W. Is finished

King Usyk, I just love this guy. I thinkyou should switch Dubois and Kabayel

At least we don't have the spurious claims about Fury being the lineal champ now....

"Quasi modo predicted all this ..."

One of the best boxing channels on RU-vid. Great job as always.

Im really enjoying Agit's path at the moment

they should make a heavyweight Grand Prix Ultimate super Tournament 16 man fight.🥊🥊

Great stuff as always. Thanks Rummy.

Great stuff as usual, thanks Rummy. I think you are pretty spot on with your picks. Its a good time to be a boxing fan and an even better time to be a heavyweight fan.

Good work, as usual Rummy 👍

Great show sir

Great video!!!!

I love that we can all agree on the #1 spot now. No more arguments about Fury or Usyk or AJ or Wilder being the best. Usyk is the top dog.

Usyk, Fury, AJ, Wilder are the Golden era of the modern boxing

1.Usyk 2.Fury 3.AJ 4.Parker 5.Zhang 6.Dubois 7.Kabayel 8.Joyce 9.Hrgovic 10.Bakole/Anderson Solid list IMO!

Thanks a lot champ !

You nailed it rummy Great list

Great List Rummy

I see AJ în 2 and TF in 3. Especialy by comparacing with the same adversaries they had not long time ago , Olexander Usyk and Francis Nganou where TF suffered - 2 KD versus + 1 KO performed by AJ.

I like the bodyshots of Kabayel... for me the dark horse of the division... he has good skills

Another outstandingly good vid

Great list.

Excellent picks Rummy. Love your channel and loving all these undisputed champions. I think it’s helping the sport and I hope it continues.

Boxing really needed this breakdown. These are some real issues, right now. The landscape was fairly flat, without change, for like the past 5 years.

My Top Ten -styles make fights PS loving the content as always Rummy.

For someone who DKSAB, you seem to KSAB!!! Solid video and ranking. I could change one or two positions, but this is about as correct as it can get. Thanks as always, Rummy!

Another great video from RU-vid's #1.

The HW division is on fire thanks to Turki. Legitimately strong fighters fighting each other. Maybe the most exciting divion atm

4 out of the top 10 from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥 and with more coming through like Itouma. We will have another champ soon 🙏🏻

1-Usyk 2-Fury 3-Joshua 4-Parker 5-Zhang 6-Dubois 7-Joyce 8-Kabayel 9-Bakole 10-Ajagba 1-2 years ago, we had fighters like Kownacki, Helenius or Yoka in the discussion as dark horses. And now, see how the names have changed. Personally, I think Fury still is number 2, how we have to rate his legacy will be decided after the rematch. Wilder is out, and I still rate Fury's W's against Wilder high, because back then he was a scary man. Fury took his soul. It is amazing to witness this downfall of a bully, once he got bullied. We will see, if the same will happen to Fury, too. AJ is on a good way back to the top, but I never rated Wallin, Ngannou or Helenius that high. So I like, that he is not gun shy anymore but I am still not fully convinced about his mental stableness. Parker, Zhang and Dubois, these guys all had impressive comebacks. They all deserve bigger shots now in my opinion. I am a guy from Germany with roots from Turkey. Same like Kabayel. So I really root for him. I really celebrate his gained momentum. However, I am still a bit worried, if the sanctioning bodies will treat him like they treated Wallin or Schwarz - as an easy title fight for ruling champs against a guy with 0L's in their record. Therefore, I would like to see how he performs agains guys like Joyce or Dubois. Joyce's 2 L's against Zhang are hurting, however, I wanna see him performing against another top 10 fighter, because I thing, Zhang's style just did not fit him. I kind of believe he still has something in the gass tank. Hrgovic is in my eyes a candidate to become the next Kownacki. I don't rate him high. This is why Bakole is at 9. Ajagba has a good run, so he is at 10. And where is Ali Eren Demirezen, who beat Washington, Kevin Johnson and Kownacki and then dissapeared?

Well done Rummy ✅ Thank you Turk for actually putting these fights together, removing a lot of the guesswork!

Usyk is the man! Very close fight, excited for 2

Oleksandr usyk The Goat

This top ten is better than my normally favorite top ten...Ring Magazine. Great Job Geoff

Quality list, Rummy. Yeah, hard to rate Joyce at 7 but also feels like it would be premature to write him off.

Good list! Personally I’d put Joshua and Parker ahead of fury but it’s good to hear a list with an undisputed champion at the top! First time in 25 years!

gotta say.. AJ seems to be a good guy at heart. his face looks surprised, shocked, even terrified when he realized Ngannou took his KO shot without bobbing, ducking, anything like that.

Best youtube chanel

I agree with your list

Credible list.

AJ should be above Fury. Better Resume, Fought more top guys, and doesn't duck anyone.

I’d say your list is up to date and accurate

Good list - fair

I think this list is spot-on for where the heavyweight division is right now.

I think your list is spot on pending the Usyk Fury rematch

I like this!

Nice video! Most are established names. I hope Usyk will continue on and not retire soon.

Great video as always, Rummy. I would have put Usyk at No.9 just for the lulz, but a solid list. One thing that this list brings to mind is that in this division you really are only as good as your last fight. Someone can be on a downward streak then come off a couple of impressive KOs. It's bizarre we don't know how good some of these guys actually are as they've only just started fighting each other.

It's a perfect list

The best list ever

Good list, hopefully we get to see most of these guys fight eachother before their time is up

About right Geoff👍

Best boxing channel out there (allthough he sometimes knows **** about boxing 😅)

Pretty much spot on imo...

Excellent as always from Rummy 🙌 Expected Dubois higher than 8.

That's my top 5. Cheers!

I think the best of Parker is yet to come, guys only 32 and already a former HW champ. Under Andy Lee he is a new fighter and doesn’t duck or avoid anyone.

"The middleweight is at the head of the heavyweight division. This is the end" - T. Fury

It's a great thing that 21st century heavyweight boxing has guys from so many varied backgrounds. Makes boxing more interesting. Also - I'm a bit surprised Andy Ruiz isn't here...

You got a shoutout on the bill simmons pod haha

The best part of this list is that we are getting fights that allows us to see what contenders like Parker and Zhang can do when given the opportunity. I sure hope Parker gets to fight Usyk before Dubois faces him twice. Also it's just priceless to have one champion that has faced the best in the division, now we can appreciate Fury and AJ in their respective fights with Usyk in the light of them fighting an special Fighter which doesn't detract from their own abilities but puts them in full display

Usyk is for the die hard boxing fan. Straight skills. The list is legit Rummy.

Usyk beat a man that had 6 inch hight advantage, 7 inch reach advantage and 39 pounds of weight advantage…He beat the ref that litterally got in his way 2 times when he was persuing Fury in round 9 and who stopped Usyk right when he was about to land a crushing blow at Furys unprotected chin with his power left hand that was wound up and ready to deliver a devastating KO. The ref should have called it a TKO or allowed Usyk to score the KO. The standing coubt was slow. Usyk also beat the judges and the money interests behind Fury.The man beat the system despite impossible ods. He was forcing Fury to fight on the back foot the entire fight. Fury won 4 rounds 5 if you are really generous. David beat Goliath in a beautiful show of boxing skill.

Good list mate, I'd probably change Joyce and Dubois but otherwise I think you are bang on.

1. Usyk 2. Fury 3. AJ 4. Parker 5. Zhang 6. Dubois 7. Kabayel 8. Joyce 9. Hrgovic 10. Anderson

It'll be interesting to see how this changes with more top guys actively fighting eachother. I wonder if the likes of Ruiz and Hunter will be able to get themselves back in the mix. Fabio Wardley is one to keep an eye on, could be top 10 potential there.

I agree with your picks but man i wish we had Riddick Bowe in his prime right now with no problems in or out of the ring cause if we did he would get the respect he should have gotten a long time ago.

God, it feels SO GOOD to have the clear distinctions that we finally have in the Heavyweight Boxing landscape...and all thanks to USYK and his excellency in Saudi Arabia (would you believe)! Thanks also to RUMMY for your stellar recap and opinions, which I believe earn your spot in the boxing hall of fame! ❤

Yes, good list, I would have: 1. Usyk 2. Fury 3. AJ 4. Parker 5. Zhang 6. Dubois 7. Kabayel 8. Bakole 9. Hrgovic 10. Joyce (or possibly Sanchez, just in case he had an off night against Kabayel). I think Fury and AJ are interchangeable in 2 and 3, and also Bakole / Hrgovic in 8 / 9.

My top My top would be: 1. Oleksandr Usyk 2. Anthony Joshua 3. Joseph Parker 4. Daniel Dubois 5. Tyson Fury 6. Agit Kabayel 7. Zhilei Zhang 8. Joe Joyce 9. Filip Hrgovic 10. Bakhodir Jalolov I keep in mind that those from 8 and below were difficult for me to decide since I took the defeats into account. The reason why Jalolov was between him and Anderson, but I like Jalolov more than Anderson, even though they both have not very decent quality of opponents, it's more of my favoritism.

Good list mate. You are on the money ! If Hrgovic doesn't improve his stamina he is toast as well !

It’s nice to actually have a good idea of the top 9 below Usyk now they’re actually fighting each other.

I like the list. People seem to have forgotten or written Joyce off a bit after his losses to Zhang but his wins against Dubois and Parker have aged very well and based on that alone, ranking him 7th doesn't seem that far fetched. Be interested to see how Dubois and Parker would do against him now.

Dubois should be up to 6th,maybe even 5th.

Heavyweight boxing is in a really great spot right now with everyone fighting each other. No one would have guessed Kabayel would have knocked out Makhmudov and Sanchez or Dubois would have stopped Hrgovic, or that Parker would have a great comeback with wins over Wilder and Zhang. It's crazy.

I would put AJ above Fury, otherwise i cant complain about the list that much. Maybe a few minor changes in the lower positions...but they are all reasonable choices.

For good reason this is your top ten, but it’s awesome that miller, Anderson, Sanchez, makmudov, Ruiz, and a number of others don’t make this list who could be decent or could climb into the list.. .. show me the fights!

Recent losses of Wallin, Wilder, Ngannou were a huge hit at Fury's resume

Great list. Hopefully Jared's upcoming fight puts him in the top 10. Time for a new 5vs5 in Riyadh.

Kabayel vs Parker has to happen the 2 heavyweight upset kings

For Me; 1) Usyk 2) Fury 3) Joshua 4) Parker 5) Zhang 6) Kabayel 7) Dubois 8) Ruiz 9) Bakole 10) Hrgovic I still have Hrgovic in the top 10 due to the Zhang win. Ruiz is inactive, but, the Ortiz win and Joshua win are still very impressive and Bakole/Anderson don't have wins even close to that level. I think Takam is a better win than Martin too. So Bakole over Anderson for Me.

I wana see. AJ vs TF, Parker vs Usyk, Hrgovivi vs Joe Joyce , Zhang vs Dubois

I agree on your list! As of right now I got usyk at number 1. But for whatever reason fury beats usyk in the rematch I'll put Fury at number one ..

Rummy don't you dare start picking Usyk now! We've been like butter together baby! On a roll! Dont you dare! lol! Love you're vids man. And im gonna donate. Youve won me some extra cash.

The best era for me by far was undoubtedly the era of joe louis , jack dempsey, and very early Muhammed ali but onky when he was 22 and 15.5 stones thats when he was greater

Dubois denying the IBF a reason to strip Usyk was nice.. though, where theres a will there's a way. 😂

Damn Wilder out of the top 10

I have to say, however strange it may sound, you should include Bakhodir Jalolov in your Top 10.

I think the Big Bang can beat any one of those top five, with the exception of Usyk and Fury provided Fury does his road work and shows up to fight.

I'd put Daniel & AJ up one spot but can't argue much with your list good job as always Rummy
