Sure shots…

What I’d change:
Move Beterbiev one category up, he became undisputed collecting the belts one-by-one in and the one guy who beat him also lost to him the first time. Imo a better 175lbs resume than Bivol’s too.

Move all the career HWs one down. It feels like the Fury/AJ/Wilder era was definitely a more fun to watch one than the Wlad era but not until Usyk has anyone truly established his dominance in the division since the Klitschko era ended. It hurts these guys’ standings that only 1 fight out of the possible 3 has happened.
I’d say Fury is “probable” because he came the closest to dominate and he ended the Wlad era but inactivity and inconsistency hurt his standings.

AJ got a great few years in resume and still high in popularity but the second part of his career (so far) where he still had been in his physical prime are riddled with some losses, I feel if not for the Dubois loss he’d have a much better claim to belong in the “probable” category.

Wilder while an emblematic figure of his ages HW division, his resume is seriously lacking to put him anywhere above longshot. Stiverne, Ortiz and a draw against Fury that most thought he lost were the high points of his career. Definitely someone we’ll remember but not because the HOF.

Jermell Charlo should be in the probable category. A bit confusing how he put both Wilder and AJ in a higher echelon. Charlo became undisputed in a stacked division, losing once and drawing once on the way but avenging both in short. I don’t think that his terrible showing against Canelo hurt his standing, he jumped up 2 divisions in an instant.

Finally, get Ryan Garcia tf out of the long shot category :mjlol: what supposed to be his best W got taken away from him due to taking peds and he was cheating with the weight too. Other than that his best W was Campbell and he just got upset by Rolly.

Get ready for the who has he beat narratives. And he dont sell PPVs. And all the other deflecting shyt folks gon conjure up as to why Tank dont need to fight him.
True. At least they can't use the boring fight/runner excuse.
Is the Roach rematch finalized? That will buy him another year but Tank going be forced to get involved eventually with all these good fights being made
