    This list has been done before and pleae feel free to paste that list under this preview, but I think it`s timely as Miller wasn`t mentioned in the thread I saw wit this list in the title but now he`s about to fight AJ and is being given a chance in some quarters, so should Miller be rated in the top 10 and who are the top 10 fighters at heavyweight now one way or another?

    Some good lists being posted. Here's mine:

    1. Joshua
    2. Fury
    3. Wilder/Whyte (draw)
    4. Povetkin
    5. Ortiz
    6. Pulev
    7. Parker
    8. Miller
    9. Kownacki
    10. Joyce

    (Miller, Kownacki and Joyce may well be higher in reality but I need to see them beat (or at at least survive for 12 rounds against) stiffer competition before I can consider moving any of them above Parker who has at the very least proven he can hold his own against the best.)

    Basing it on resumes:

    1. AJ
    2. Povetkin
    3. Whyte
    4. Fury
    5. Parker
    6. Pulev
    7. Wilder
    8. Miller
    9. Ortiz
    10. Toss up between Kownacki and Brezeale

    However there are fighters such as Hunter and Joyce I would favour against the the fighters outside the top six but they haven't been given the right fights yet.

    What is the point of calling povetkin the #2 heavyweight when you and everyone else knows for a fact he's not the second best heavyweight?

    Has the deepest record after AJ (wins over Chagaev, Huck, Rahman, Wawrzyk, Charr, Takam, Wach, Duhaupas, Wach Rudenko and Hammer). I would back Povetkin against anyone in a potential fight in the divison apart from AJ. This is my reasoning for putting Povetkin as number 2 on my list.

    Joyce is too open to fight Wilder.
