    Joshua
    Wlad
    Wilder
    Povetkin
    Ortiz
    Parker
    Whyte
    T Fury

    Other than those people who have I missed? Who has stood in the top tier of this division where we can all say "yeah that guy has a chance to stand with those other guys? Are there enough other names out there to create a worthy top 10?

    You think he scrapes in? His last acceptable win was Chisora in 2012 or around then. Can we count Pulev? He doesnt come across as a guy who would stand at the top level and walked away from a mando with Joshua once already.

    Fury - wins over Wlad and Chisora alone make him a top heavyweight of the last 5 years
    Pulev - Not the greatest fighter but beating Chisora, Thompson, Hughie, Ustinov and Dimitrenko show he's a good fighter and he's well proven. I'd have him below everyone else that's been mentioned though.

    So that's

    Joshua
    Wlad
    Wilder
    Povetkin
    Ortiz
    Parker
    Whyte
    Fury
    Pulev

    That's 9 names, the 10th might be harder to pick. Maybe Chisora if he beats Whyte in the rematch.

    Haha, no worries.

    It's either your early Sunday morning head over here in the UK letting you down or you're still living your Saturday night up large over in the USA when the head goes into a different mode! :aaaaa:

    Edit - Just seen your live in the same place as myself - Preston! Is it my Roper Hall boxing buddy?

    I'd forgotten about Stiverne, it's easy to forget before he won the title and ate his way into oblivion he was a solid fighter or at least above gate keeper level as the Arreola wins suggest.

    I wouldn't say Adamek is anywhere near the top in the last 5 years, he's been shot for ages. If you were saying last 10 years then maybe he had some good wins earlier on in his heavyweight run with Cunningham and Arreola but the last 5 years losses to Glazkov, Molina and Szpilka shows he was well past his best.

    Charles Martin, the guy is a former World Champ!

    Nah, just kidding. What about Miller? Not saying he will rule the division, but I would personally have him in my top 10.
