    The heavyweight division is alive and kicking, and all 3 heavyweight champs will face off against a different olympic super heavyweight gold medallist in their next fight. Tyson Fury against Klitschko. Charles martin against Joshua. and wilder against Povetkin. A win for any champ will surely solidify them as a real heavyweight champion. Obviously any of the champs can lose as these are all dangerous fights. WHO you guys think is the most likely to lose their belt next?

    I think the most likely is Martin losing to Joshua of the three choices. I almost went with choice 2, but you have Wilder losing to Povetkin, I have it the other way around and think that is the most likely outcome. I used to think Fury would easily lose his rematch but am not so sure now. Wlad did some odd things and the way he reacted to incoming shots really has me wondering if he can really adjust next time out.

    Martin is on a hiding to nothing, Wilder is on a hiding, and Fury is on crack. :yep

    1. Charles Martin
    2. Deontay Wilder (could vacate too)
    3. Tyson Fury

    Wilder is the worst belt holder since Michael Bentt and even he have a better resumé
