    Fury is the obvious #1. I suppose Joshua is #2. Then it gets muddled.

    From where the ***** the hype for Hunter come ? I never see anything decent about him.

    Pls the time to include Stiverne as a solid opponent on Wilder resume has passed.
    The guy lost via KO to a guy with no wiki page. And slow Joe Joyce knock his ****.
    Stiverne was not even an average level.

    The same thing would happen with Ortiz if he was to fight someone decent with punching power.

    covetousjuice, did you miss the moment where AJ return to his throne with 12-0 performance ?
    And the moment where Wilder won just 2 out of 17 rounds against Fury. The guy should have 2 loses in his record.

    Is it hype? I happen to think he beat Povetkin white handedly (115/113-116/112), looks brilliant and is awful stylistically for Joshua and Wilder. Also, he's shown how good his chin is vs Bakole and Povetkin. The list isn't really based off achievements, moreso H2H, hence why I put Hunter higher.

    I agreed with the rest of your post. :polutxoso:

    Last I checked Joshua beat Ruiz in the rematch.

    Are you dim or do you just have selective memory?

    Are Otto Wallin and Luis Ortiz 2nd place as well? What about Breazeale and Tom Schwartz?

    Good God you're thick as pig****. You see where I say H2H? That I don't factor in accomplishments? Also, Usyk's pedigree in boxing is higher than everyone in the division. Did you exclude Canelo from the rankings at 168 when beat a bum? I bet you didn't, keep the same energy, man.

    When you see Ruiz vying for a Top 3 Position it really shows the average lot of Heavyweights we have at the moment.!!!

    They were not fighting for the lineal title, it's still vacant since Lennox retired.

    I understand Fury beat Wlad, but who did Wlad beat to claim the title of the lineal champ? Ruslan Chagaev? Chagaev was no lineal champ himself, and Wlad never unified the titles.

    If Fury wants to lay claim as the lineal champ, he needs to unify the titiles first.

    Fury and AJ are #1 and #2 right now. They have to duke it out for HW supremacy.

    Fury is the recognized Lineal Champ. No debate about it.

    1 Fury
    2 AJ
    3 Wilder
    4/5 just behind Ruiz & Whyte in no order.

    I don't recognize him as such. Not that it matters because with the lineal championship it's not about who recognizes it, its about the actual linear possession of the title. Lewis vacated it when he retired, no one has unified since.

    I respect your opinion, but for me Hunter is decent, but nothing more. I don`t think he will beat any of Joshua, Wilder or Fury. For me he did not beat Povetkin, and if they ruled the KD he would have lost that match. And don`t forget this was very old Povetkin. Older and in worst shape, then he was in Joshua fight, and Joshua knock him out. So i`m pretty sure Joshua will knock Hunter as well.

    This is my opinion, so let's agree to disagree.

    Head to head as a Heavyweight FOR WHAT?. The only mentally incapable moron here is rather obvious, and I'm not the only one to quickly pass by you and call you an idiot either. The man has done literally NOTHING at Heavyweight yet he's ranked #1 alongside Fury because of "H2H".... I'm starting to worry you're referring to a different type of Head to Head.
