If you actually knew about boxing history you would know HW division is never really stacked outside a top 10 list ...some don't even have that.... last time we had 3 undefeated top guys was in the 70's , Ali, Frazier , Foreman before they fought eachother... we have Joshua, Wilder and Fury in their primes now! Now go do your research so you stop looking foolish!
i really think this is the weakest era in the time ive been following boxing. outside of maybe, maaaybe, joshua, who else could be a real contender in any era?
70's was the time of the stacked HW division. This is more of a resurgent period coming out of what was a very dark period in the history of the HW division. Good fighters but when I look at the top guys collectively, I have a hard time believing any of them at their best could beat some of the top guys in the 90's-00's like a prime Lewis. I don't even know if they could beat a prime Bowe. The talent pool is not too bad though comparing it to about 5-7 years ago so that's a good sign. Joshua and Wilder's eventual collision will add a much needed spark to the division and bring all eyes back to the big man's weight class.
Usyk, Hrgovic, Dychko, Teslenko, Gassiev, Joyce, Kuzmin, Kean, Gorman, Sirenko, Romanov. I don't think it's stacked now. But it could well get stacked with the top prospects coming up
Lewis would KO every single guy on that list with one arm tied behind his back Good for you hardcores who still like the division, but for me it's been dead since Lewis Vitali
Contender? Povetkin, Wilder, Joshua would all be contenders, and maybe one or two lesser lights. The real question is: who could win a belt, AND keep it for longer than 3-5 fights? I'm asking for a 2 year reign. It gets kinda iffy at that point.
That's what I'm hoping for. People said that once Wlad was gone it would be strong. But, it's dropped down a hole. I'm hoping in about 2-3 years new blood comes into contention and makes it great again.
Hrgovic vs Mansour. The Significance ? Even a win over an aged fringe top contender will boost Hrgovics standings and get him relevant fights sooner then later. Hrgovic 9th round stoppage. Martin vs Kownacki The winner gets bragging rights of who actually belongs in a top 10 WBC rankings between the two. Martin 10th round stoppage.
Who I feel will excel head to head. 1. Joshua 2. T.Fury 3. Wilder 4. Ortiz 5. Povetkin 6. Whyte 7. Joyce /sirenko ( yes im putting Sirenko here) 8. Parker 9. Breazeale 10. Miller 11. Dubois 12. Gorman 13. Hrgovic 14. Dychko 15. Yoka 16. Efe agjaba 17. H.Fury 18. Pulev 19. Junior Fa 20. Kownacki ( waiting on Usyk Morrison/Arias to step up) and include guys on activity.
Dubois will get exposed soon. Trust me. Gorman also overrated as **** because of the Turner fight. Turner was AWFUL and wasn't there to fight. He didn't want to be there and you could see it from the first second. Hrgovic is ahead right now. Ajagba too. Hunter should be ranked in your list too if you rank a guy like Junior Fa.
Hughie was blatantly robbed so belongs in the list. He clearly beat the only man to take Joshua the distance!
No. Parker beat Hughie Fury. 116-112 or 117-111. I had it 116-112 i think. 115-113 also fine but not closer.
