Currently 1. Joshua 2. Fury 3. Wilder 4. Whyte 5. Joyce Top 5 in no order Knocking on the door again at least briefly for some. . Hrgovic . Get a title shot sooner then later Povetkin . Not done yet . Ortiz Has a second shot to knock out Wilder and that's always possible. Ruiz .Has a chance to K.o AJ though its slim, and slim left town ,concerning Ruiz. Borrowed time. Usyk . Will be immediate threat when he gets a first win.
Fury AJ Wilder As for the next two, I mean you can really take your pick. Whyte has probably made the most noise to be a part of it. Povetkin past his best but still a handful you'd imagine. The rest are speculative really. Usyk or Hunter may well deserve to be there but they need to really prove it. Joyce possibly? Hrgovic?
In order: Fury (He's the man, I don't care about the hiatus) Joshua (Resume and unified champion) Wilder (He's smashed everyone but should have a loss to "the man") Whyte (Resume is the strongest of late of the non champions & has a win over a former titlist) Povetkin/Ortiz (can't decide) I will not put Mike Hunter or Usyk in the top five yet, whether I think they potentially belong there or not (and I do)
Looks like we need to see Joshua v Fury to determine no 1 in the division then!! Shame those judges robbed us all of a Fury v Joshua undisputed fight when they gifted Wilder that draw!
1) Joshua 2) Fury 3) Wilder 4) Whyte 5) Usyk* * I actually think Usyk has a good chance to end up being the best, but I can’t really justify having him higher than #5 right now seeing as how he hasn’t actually fought at heavyweight yet. If we are only including fighters who have had a heavyweight fight, I would have Povetkin at #5.
Imo the no.1 heavyweight situation has yet to be definitively sorted out. Right now I'd pick these men in this order Joshua Fury Wilder Whyte Parker
LOL at you fools of putting Povetkin and Parker in the mix, the Russian Hype job never ever beat anyone of note unless you call a shot beyond shot Byrd a major achievement........got rag dolled by Mr Glasschin WK..........Parker lost his last two fights and before struggled with journeyman... In reality AJ and Wilder are both Number 1, Fury is a distant 3rd while throwing 5 punches a round and waking up from knock downs.......Dillian should just take his beating from Wilder for one last pay day because a major beating he will take including the highlight KO reel Breazale style say good nite.
Fury Wilder Joshua Whyte Pulev Fury's got good movement and defense and Wilder was still able to catch him, dont think Joshua can avoid it for 12 rounds and I think Fury out boxes Joshua.
