    After being dead to the world for a decade, the World Heavyweight division is not only alive and well, but packed full of international competitive and diverse talent.

    HW Top 10:

    1. Tyson Fury (25-0-0, 18KO) --------- WBO/WBA titles
    2. Vlad Klitscho (64-4-0, 53KO)
    3. Deontaye Wilder (37-0-0, 36KO) -- WBC
    4. Kubrat Pulev (23-1-0, 12 KO)
    5. Luis Ortiz (25-0-0, 22 KO)
    6. Anthony Joshua (17-0-0, 17 KO) -- IBF
    7. Bermane Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KO)
    8. Joseph Parker (20-0-0, 17 KO)
    9. Andy Ruiz, Jr. (28-0-0, 19 KO)
    10. Bryant Jennings (19-2-0, 10 KO)

    Except for 9 and 10, The HW division top 10 looks pretty solid and should provide fans with some very tight competitive match ups from the end of 2016 to throughout 2017. There are also some good prospects in the top 20 who may very well migrate to top 10 in 2017.
    Personally, I'd like to see Big Baby Miller go to the UK and give fans the fight they were cheated out of in Joshua-Martin. Joshua-Miller would be a very interesting match up, that will probably never happen. Not because Miller isn't calling Joshua out, but because Joshua isn't answering.

    The stars surrounding the Heavyweight division are a lot brighter than the ones around the MW division.

    You should learn how to spell Deontay Wilder if you are going to cradle his balls so much.

    I think Ortiz and Joshua emerge as the top two of that crop.

    That is simply because, talent and showcase, make STARS.
    Right now, the HW division is far more competitive than the stagnate and putrid MW division.

    Do you think Joshua can beat Stiverne or Povetkin?

    You should stop sleeping with your Mommy and learn how not to wet the bed.

    I point out that you can't accurately spell the name of the guy whose **** you're slobbing away at in various threads and this is your response? Ok, then.

    The spelling I used in the thread OP is correct.
    Find another thread to troll.

    "Deontaye" is not correct. Are you feeling ok?

    What was the last good fight at HW? I keep hearing this talk how the "HW division is shaping up nicely", the reality is contenders are ducking eachother and handpicking opponents. Fights are cancelled, injuries are faked. HW is looking quite bleak to me.
