Where would you place the new kid on the heavyweight scene in your ranking? Let us know in the comments.
At the moment he is second coz he knocked out the current undisputed champion.
He did not knock him out. Knocked him down.
He didnt knock Fury out and Fury is not undisputed champion.
Top 10 would be a fair spot. Styles make fights. Francis may or may not get dominated by all of the top 5. One fight should leave you with more questions than answers. What if xxxxx
He cannot be ranked in the top 10 he’s never beaten anyone in the top ten.
