Who do you personally feel are the top three heavyweights in the division at the moment? I think and will be voting for Fury, Wladimir and Haye. Fury because there has never been a heavyweight his size that can move like a middleweight, and he beat the second most dominant heavyweight ever. Wladimir because he is a living legend. Haye because he is the most athletic and powerful heavyweight I have ever seen.
Very easy for me, and time will prove my 3 choices to be factually the best 3 of this era and potentially 3 of the all time greatest. Yes even career wise, we already know beyond any doubt they're the ATGreatest h2h Aj Dw Parker, the 3 best and it's not even close Haye is the only hw that could upset any of the 3 on any given night, no others has the speed to land with his rare power
Would be Fury, Joshua, Haye but Fury has not been to active and neither has Wladimir so it would at this moment be Joshua, Haye and probably Wilder
There are a few questions about "current form" guys to be answered, so right now with shaky confidence I say Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Luis Ortiz. After Haye and AJ/WK's next fights these could easily be revised - and really I don't like Fury being included in this is he isn't a currently active fighter... but that's my gut feel.
1. AJ - because he is the best boxer around in terms of overall package atm, has the power and speed to trouble anyone. 2. Wlad - is experienced, had been a dominant champ, still possesses more power than most 3. Parker - best of the rest, got balls for taking the risky fights, good power and speed. Tyson fury would be up there but is inactive. Best of the rest Haye - was good but not proven since returning. Wilder - poor skill,but has the power to drop anyone and has faced poor opponents Ortiz - has the power but not faced world class opponents yet.
Joshua, Povetkin, Ortiz Wilder and Parker behind them you can't rate Klitschko, Fury and Haye at the moment
What? Malik Scott, Tony Thompson and Bryant Jennings are world level by my books. They are not world beaters but any of those 3 would given anyone good rounds - hell, Bryant Jennings vs Wladimir Klitschko was the precursor fight to Jennings vs Ortiz and Klitschko vs Fury. Ortiz dominated Jennings more convincingly than Klitschko did... Jennings actually took rounds off Klitschko, Ortiz made him look like he wasn't a threat then TKO7.
1. Fury - the lineal champ. Beat Wlad. No if's, and's, or but's 2. Klitschko - An ATG. has to be given benefit of the doubt til we see more evidence of whether he is done or not. 3. Joshua - Out of all the other beltholders or contenders, he looks by far the better, more complete fighter. Povetkin is hard to place. Still a top guy, but due to doping, he can't be top 3 as there are questions. Of the rest, tier 2 would be Ortiz, Pulev, Parker, Wilder, H. Fury. Maybe in that order too.
Jennings also took rounds off Ortiz, and also outlanded him in the fight. A lot of people forget that.
Ortiz good but too slow and old WK doesn,t punch anymore and hasn,t fought in 18 months T Fury may not ever fight again Povetkin, very good but uses too much ped,s
