    That is how shallow the heavyweight division is today, suggest names (you will not find, unless you want to bring in USyk)

    The Top 15 below the 4 belts, in practice their are near 30 boxers qualified at a title shot (15 for each belt), it averages to 30.

    A champion who has a belt is above #1, he is the best, not for negotiation...until one of the elite contenders can come & dethrone him

    Tyson Fury obviously should be #1, but he is officially out

    H Fury got his shot, he should be in the top 15, pick someone from the 15 for H Fury to replace?

    He's in the top 7 on YOUR list, without question. Personally, I think he beats everybody in the division(bar AJ and Tyson) the same way he managed to beat Parker, block everything and win rounds with shots that do land. (Even if they are a low number). You watch that fight again, in slow motion, Parker never landed anything of note till the later rounds, when he was already down on my card. He was given rounds for being the aggressor, having his punches BLOCKED and receiving a few jabs that land clearly Its not everybody's cup of tea, but that's what happened in that fight.

    You mean Adam Kownacki?

    I asked you who do you feel H Fury should replace, in other words if you had the chance to remove a name from the top 15 list. who will it be? You feel Adam Kownacki should not be in the top 15? (not take his spot, don't let that be the factor), who on the top 15 is least deserving to be on the list?

    Bellew and Haye shoulnd't be in the top 15. Who have they beat in the past few years that's in the top 20, never mind top 15??? I mean, you have Bellew over Miller? Miller eats him alive.

    Sir...I said pick one name & one name only to remove from the top 15, so we can discuss

    Bellew owned Haye, so we can't remove Bellew he is in (Deep & up)...but you can remove Haye of you want

    That none 20 HW beat Parker, 2 other WC's(AJ and Wilder) stated they thought Hughie won that fight. That's not to have a dig at Parker, they know boxing better than anybody on this forum.

    Remove those two and add Chisora and H Fury. Current Chisora smashes the hell out of them both.
