Previously, I based my rankings on who I thought the best heavys were. But I agree, merit should be more important. If that were the case, there would be better match-ups as the only way to get your ranking is to beat someone who's ranked. So in that case, Parker and AJ would have had to fight someone in the top 10 to get their ranking. But hey, this is boxing, so it's not supposed to be fair!
Why would you say Cunnigham lost to Fury? Fury isn't the better fighter. Cunningham has much better technique. Isn't that why they say a good big man always beats a good small man?
Official loses yes but I believe what I see with my own eyes. Cunningham gets credit from me for fighting those ranked guys and arguably winning. Just because a fighter loses on the cards does not always mean he actually lost the fight.
