    Even as an Irish man, I have to tip my hat to the UK HW scene right now.

    You could argue that, if you include T. Fury there are 5 (maybe 6) guys from the UK in the global top 10 right now and guys like H. Fury, Wardley and Gorman beneath that.

    Hopefully some more big fights can be made.

    Tyson Fury
    Anthony Joshua
    Dillian Whyte
    Joe Joyce
    Daniel Dubois.

    Chisora just beat a guy who many would argue was around the top 10 tonight so he would be close.

    Dubois doesn't have a win close to Pulev correct.

    Tyson Fury
    Joe Joyce
    Anthony Joshua
    Dillian Whyte
    Hughie Fury
    Dereck Chisora
    Tommy Fury

    If Hughie Fury wasn't the poor health disease riddled genetic fluff left over from Tyson then he'd be well in the mix. Nice chin on him though.

    Why would Gorman, Hughie Fury and Wardley be anywhere near the top 10? not even close

    I didnt say they were in the top 10, I said they were below the others but still good prospects.

    Although I would put H. Fury near the top 10.

    Why would you put Hughie near the top 10? I also think Dubois obviously is nearer than Gorman and Wardley

    I really like wardley. I admire the lads guts to test himself against fighters that anyone else who enters the sport as he did, would have any chance of beating..
    He's good to watch and his from background to where he is now is a freakish one off.
    However, I think he'll be found out in a big way when he steps up another level. I really hope I'm wrong but he's gonna get hit at some point and 3 white collar fights against other beginners isn't going to ready you for that

    You were the first one to pick up on that.

    Pussying out twice against a youtuber qualifies you as a world level *****. But maybe that’s just me.

    He even ducked doing the fight in the U.K. for less money!

    And only one man disagrees that this is called the British HW Era.
    His name is Oleksandr Usyk.
