I probably can’t list more than five. I know some have already listed as many as six including Anthony Joshua but I don’t know if I’d consider him a “ top “ super heavyweight. He was good and he DID become heavyweight champ. But so did primo Carnera.
I think we all have the top 5 about the same. But, what about the next tier. Can we get a top ten? Next 5 in line. Jess Willard held the title, Carnera, Cooney, not sure who else. I am struggling with a top 10 version of this list.
We will definitely see more the in the future the giant heavyweight era is mainly 90s onwards really.
I guess ill give a top 10 a shot. This is all time ranking not H2H 1. Wlad 2. Lewis 3. Fury 4. Vitali 5. Bowe 6. Carnera 7. Willard 8. Cooney 9. Joshua 10. Valuev
My H2H ranking 1. Vitali 2. Lewis 3. Fury 4. Wlad 5. Bowe 6 Cooney 7 Carnera 8. Willard 9. Valuev 10. Joshua
Lewis and Wlad have to be the top two. After that it gets complicated. Fury probably should be in the third spot, if you think that he won the lineal title twice.
Joshua is 5-7 and Valuev had a better career than Cooney. Pulev has also turned in a pretty good career. Grant probably edges Cooney's resume. Not sure where Wilder went, but he's a lock if his weight is high enough.
