    Fury and Jennings are both beyond the "prospect" stage at this point. They are both clear top 10 HW's.

    Next up, sh!t, I dunno, but I guess I'd list Joshua first and then Wilder.

    Wilder already has a fight scheduled that, if he wins, can make a lot of you guys look awfully stupid. I don't really have an opinion on his future other than he will have good opportunity with promotional support and that he seems far too crude and relies too much on what he does well to be anything remotely dominant or to have longevity in whatever his prime form will end up being. I'm still picking Stiverne by KO and have never been a supporter of Wilder but just keeping it real here.

    (that thread from yesterday about "Will Wilder go down as better than Michael Grant?" had me looking for the first time ever at Wilders' resume and not being quite as disappointed; it also helps that the Wilder hype that was pretty huge has fizzled way down over the past half year)

    Usyk listed a 6'3? Medzhidov had two - three inches on him and he's legit 6'3.

    Joshua but I didn't think the poll would be so one-sided

    I like Parker but I don't see a dominant champ among the group. I see a group that will be trading wins over the next 5 years with each other making for an exciting division.

    I am a Parker fan but I agree for the moment, though from a spectator point of view that is ideal :)

    Technically Usyk is a lot better than joshua or any other boxer but he's a little too small to be dominant heavyweight.
