Ring Magazine's Top 10 heavyweight boxers: Fans confused over No. 1

Usyk Maintains His Top Spot, Leaving Fans Perplexed

In Ring Magazine's latest rankings, Oleksandr Usyk continues to hold the coveted No.1 position in the heavyweight division. Usyk secured the top spot after defeating Anthony Joshua in 2021 and claiming the Ring Magazine belt. However, this decision has left many fans scratching their heads.

Fury Supporters Voice Their Displeasure

Some boxing enthusiasts were quick to express their disagreement with Usyk's ranking. Supporters of Tyson Fury argued that the British heavyweight should be sitting at the top, asserting that his skills and victories warranted the No.1 spot.

Questions and Debates Emerge Among Fans

A perplexed fan questioned, "How is Usyk No.1?" While another fan agreed with the overall rankings but suggested that if Fury were to face Usyk, the positions could switch. Debates also arose regarding the possibility of No.2 ranked Fury successfully defeating the current No.1.

Wilder and Joshua Take Second and Third Spots

Deontay Wilder, the former WBC champion, currently holds the second spot in the rankings. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua, who lost the Ring Magazine belt to Usyk, sits just one place behind at third. However, their positions may change if negotiations for a potential fight between the two are successful.

Exciting Upcoming Rematch for Fourth and Sixth Ranked Boxers

Zhilei Zhang, currently ranked fourth, secured a victory over sixth-placed Joe Joyce in April. The two heavyweights are set to rematch this Saturday, and the outcome could potentially affect their rankings.

Ruiz Jr. Holds Fifth Position Despite Inactivity

Andy Ruiz Jr. maintains his fifth place ranking, despite not having fought since September of last year. His last victory came against the seventh-ranked Luis Ortiz. The lack of recent activity has not affected his standing in the rankings.

Parker, Hrgovic, and Anderson Round Out the Top 10

Joseph Parker is ranked eighth, followed by Filip Hrgovic at ninth. The youngest member of the top ten, 23-year-old Jared Anderson, enters the rankings for the first time, replacing Dillian Whyte who dropped out. Whyte's failed drug test resulted in him being pulled out of his rematch with Joshua, and he is now fighting to salvage his career and reputation.

The rankings are subject to change with future fights and outcomes.

Oleksandr Usyk currently holds the Ring Magazine heavyweight belt, but fans are divided over whether he truly deserves the top spot. With Tyson Fury as a strong contender, the debate over who should be ranked No.1 continues to spark heated discussion among boxing enthusiasts. Stay tuned for updates and potential changes in the rankings as the heavyweight division continues to evolve.
