    Super heavyweight is undefined in professional boxing, so I am not sure what you're getting at.

    Surely, it would need to be defined for one to provide a list. Muhammad Ali frequently weighed over 220lbs, so what are the parameters?

    Riddick Bowe is the perfect measuring stick for a "super" heavyweight

    6'5" 230 pounds

    If you're below 230 pounds you better be 6'7" (Wilder)

    If you're below 6'5" you better be 250 pounds+ (Whyte)

    Luis Ortiz at 6'4" 235 pounds doesn't quite make it...

    Super heavyweight is any fighter with a height between 6' 6" and 6' 8", who was born in Tuscaloosa in 1985 and has the initials DW.

    Anthony Joshua is a pumped up weight lifter hype job

    How dare you rank him above Fury

    A 20 year old Fury was a natty 260 pound man. AJ in his 30's is now just breaking 250 pounds rioded up to the gills like a balloon. Ruiz popped that balloon and made him shed down to 230's for the rematch.

    There is a gulf between Fury and AJ. In skill and size. AJ can't compete.
