This list is regardless of PEDS or lack of action. The ranks 3-8 are extremely close in my opinion. Any of these guys could be interchangeable until we get to see them in the ring.

Whyte comes into play now. Haye dissapears so...

Whyte? Yeah. But he comes to fight and regardless if Chisora is shot or not...it's still a decent win.

10 would be a toss up between Whyte, Breazeale and Hammer. Personally, I think Breazeale just pips Whyte for 10th spot. Would be a nice fight between the two.

Bellew at 10 or even higher? Yes he isn't great, Haye was injured and he may go back to CW, but he did knock out Haye against all odds today.

I think Jo Parker is rated too high. Jo would be in deakers creek once someone like Wilder can unload on him, Jo has demonstrated in his last two fights he goes dormant and is vulnerable to Wilders type of attack. And Breazeale is better than we realised before we started on top tens, he has to rate in there somewhere. Remember we were rating Izu before Breazeale undid him.

But what about the bomber!

Cruiserweight champion steps up and beats a supposed top 5 heavyweight

Surely bomber bellew has to rate higher than Browne, right?

Heavyweight Travis “My Time” Kauffman (31-1, 23 KOs) has been training hard for his showdown with Amir “Hardcore” Mansour (22-2-1, 16 KOs) that will headline Premier Boxing Champions: The Next Round on Bounce Friday, March 17 from Santander Arena in Reading, PA.

Televised coverage on Bounce begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT

Kauffman trained in Houston, Texas with famed trainer Naazim Richardson, and is ready for the hard punching Mansour.

“Everything is great. I was in Houston starting on December 20th and I came home on March 5th,” said Kauffman.

“I have been motivated knowing that I have a killer in front of me. Amir wants what I want, and that is a shot at the Heavyweight title.”

Kauffman has sacrificed a whole lot for this fight, as he missed important family moments in order to give himself the best opportunity to put his family in the best situation in the long run.

“I missed the holidays with my family. I also missed my sons birthday. I have never done that before. This has motivated me, and gives me such a mental edge and a bigger purpose for this fight.”

Being that Kauffman and Mansour (who has trained a majority of his career in Philadelphia) are only geographically separated by an hour, Kauffman knew this fight was bound to happen, and always visualized a fight with Mansour.

“I have always been confident that I could beat him. I was down in Texas working hard, and now I am in better shape, but I know when I win it will get me to the next level.”

That next level would be a shot at one of the heavyweight champions, and just on February 25th, WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder took out Gerald Washington in 5 rounds, for which many thought the champion showed some flaws, which Kauffman thinks he could exploit more should that match up occur.

“I watched the Wilder fight. I did expect Washington to present some problems for him, But Washington doesn’t have the experience. Deontay can punch, but Gerald showed that Deontay can be beat. He showed that Deontay is the most amateurish Heavyweight champion ever, but you have to give the man credit, he is 38-0 with 37 knockouts. He can punch and has a beautiful jab.”

But before a fight with Wilder or one of the other beltholders, Kauffman knows he has a tough task in front of him in Mansour.

“This fight will put me in the top-five. I just want to win this and fight one of the champions. I don’t care who I fight. I been working so hard in this fight so expect a better Travis Kauffman.”
