    I pick Usyk not because I don't think he is good, but just because I think it's ridiculous to rank him in top 5 He until he has not fought a couple times at this weight

    I voted Wilder ... but I would be happy to see him fight Joshua or other top tier prime HWs and do well.

    He can silence everyone just by taking 2 or 3 legacy generating fights.

    (Fury 2.0 is a bit of unknown at the moment. I'd rather see him against someone else than Wilder too)

    Luis Ortiz. He has just one win (Jennings) worth of mentioning and still this win is overrated.
    And his performance against Wilder? Wilder hasn't looked good in any fight yet, till the knockout punch of course. He was being outboxed by really mediocre fighters.

    Difficult not to pick Usyk, for the higher rankings anyway.

    Usyk there's talk of him beating Fury AJ and Wilder without beating anyone at HW yet.

    I voted Tyson Fury, because at least Wilder KOs bums and Fury is getting beat up by them.
    Honorable mentions:
    Ortiz. He is old and has a glass jaw. Hand picked opponent by Wilder's team.
    Usyk. Yet to beat a good HW, but potentially could win a title.

    In history I think Joe Mesi was extremely overrated. Today, It seems to me that Andy Ruiz is very overrated. Joshua can beat him 9 times out of 10. Ruiz despite his lost is still a massively discussed fighter. Look at all the threads in this forum. He is everywhere.

    As opposed to going life and death twice with Del “human punching bag” Chisora?

    Compare Povetkin and Whytes fight with Wach.

    Povetkin was in shape mentally and physically... Whyte wasn't.

    Comparison complete.

    Chisora human punch bag? Okay.

    Show some respect when talking about the WBC Interim Champion of the world .....then you won't be such an interim twat

    Whyte is a pro boxer, a pro should always be in shape.

    Hunter is better than Whyte.
