After Rio, Joe Joyce & Frazer Clarke will probably turn pro which will make our domestic HW even better
Haye is a shot old man Joshua is a hyped up 6 round fighter Fury is the man with the plan At the end of the year after Fury KO's Wilder brutally the heavyweight division will pretty much just be superheavyweight Tyson Fury, protected superheavyweight Anthony Joshua and a bunch of sub >6'5 stiff drugged up eastern europeons.
Fury is #1 Joshua is promising and probably worthy of a spot in the lower top 10. Whyte gave Joshua a decent fight and is still a prospect. But that's it. There's no one else in the UK worth talking about.
Not an impressive win at all considering the corpse of Evander Holyfield was robbed against the same Sugar Nic.
You have the lineal champ and two hvw contenders. This list will change. And Duhaupus lost to Wilder, and just because you think that other guys might ko a guy faster doesn't mean jack lmao.
AJ isn't the finished product yet but looks like the real deal. Personally, I rate him the highest, unfinished as he is.
Not sure why that would be "shocking" but the UK sure has some of the best HWs out there at the moment. I still think that Joshua is a KO waiting to happen though. Once someone doesn't falter to his power, he is gonna be in trouble. I don't see him keeping up that pace for 12 rounds. His physique resembles that of a body builder and I honestly want to see him in a 12 round fight without gassing. For instance, I think he matches up terribly with Haye. People mock Haye for his chin but how relevant is it really? Haye is not a sitting duck and hardly ever gets hit. A prime Wlad didn't lay a glove on him, so how is Joshua gonna achieve that? Unless Haye has slowed down in the past years which, I have to admit, might be the case. His bum fights lately weren't particularly enlightening. Assuming Haye is still as good as he once was, Joshua would chase him around all fight and gas at some point. Fury though - 100% the real. He is all talent. He doesn't win fights via his height, he doesn't win the via his superior physique (he doesn't look particularly athletic) but simply through being a better boxer in all his fights. He would still be P4P material if he was born a MW or LHW. It's honestly all skills and ring IQ. Terrific fighter.
As good as the HW division is in UK, I know without a doubt Wilder KOs Fury and Haye rather easily, the tough war is with Joshua, it's 50/50 with Joshua. Nick Webb looks very good as well Best UK HWs in order Joshua Fury Haye Whyte Webb Price Hightower
