What's your hevyweight top 10 now?

Duhaupas’ best wins are Helenius and Charr.

Takam’s best wins are an aging Michael Grant and Tony Thompson. He does have a draw with Perez.

Both are known for being tough *******s who are brought in to lose.

Not much difference really.

 

1. Joshua
2. Povetkin
3. Parker
4. Pulev
5. Whyte
6. Bellew
7. Takam
8. Wilder
9. Miller
10. Breazeale

 

I think the Thompson win for Takam is possibly better than the Helenius and Charr wins for Duhaupas. Thompson had just beaten Solis and the year before had beaten Price. Hard to say, maybe he caught Thompson at the right time.

But Takam did better when he stepped up compared to Duhaupas and that's the big difference between them. He was out boxing Povetkin early before being ground down, while a more faded version of Povetkin easily beat Duhaupas.

Takam gave Parker a tough fight too while in comparison, Duhaupas was easily beat by Miller and Wilder and also lost to Teper and Pianeta of all people. Takam would never lose to Pianeta not even on his worst day.

 

Just pointing out that they’re more likely top 20 guys than top 10.

PS Takam lost to some scrub early in his career just like Johan lost to Pianeta.

 

Maybe, neither of them are top contenders and will always lose when they step up. You could make an argument for a lot of guys creeping into the last 2-3 spots in the top ten. Guys like Takam, Breazeale, Hughie Fury, Miller, Ruiz Jr etc. None have proved enough to deserve a definite position in the top 10 as either they have lost to the very top guys when stepping up or have never fought the top guys at all.

 

Oh god, Erm.

1 AJ
2 Povetkin
3 Wilder
4 Ortiz
5 Parker
6 Pulev
7 Miller
8 Ruiz Jr
9 Whyte
10 Kownacki

Those last few are very much subject to change on my mood

 

1. Fury
2. AJ
3. Wilder

This one's gotta be my favorite.

 

Takam also arguably has a win over Parker .

The skill sets between Takam and Duhaupas are obvious...ones a punching bag with limited skill and durable chin .

The other is a very good all around solid fighter who was a top 10 guy.

there's simply was never a reason to put Duhaupas as a top 10 fighter.

 

No era in boxing HW history had this amount of younger group including Olympic caliber , amateur pedigrees and overall the amount talent coming up like now bc it's a much wider global sport now... Wilder shows its a very strong era bc within 2 years this division will be more stacked than it is now!

Fury, Joshua, Wilder, just those three in itself are keeping the division fresh...... Ortiz, Parker, Whyte , Povetkin are big wild cards ...to think it's a weak era is foolish, there's nothing weak about it!

it is a good thing that the division is young bc it means we have years of interesting match ups coming.

Hughie dumped his title fast for a reason.

Had another less caliber fighter with more fights have Joyce's belt he would have fought him.

i showed you Parkers own performance in most of his top fights made opponents look better , so again you can only place Hughie in a TOP 10 spot based off that fight.

i could easily place Takam ahead of Hughie just on his Joshua fight.

your obviously a Hughie fan but no bookie is going to have listed favored over anyone in my top 10 so no it is a fact i have him outside the ten for a reason.

And actually I will probably have to put Fury in and change my list after he fights, and I won't need to think about why like anyone i include bc I can see what a fighter can do otherwise they wouldn't be on my list.

 

I don’t think anyone really thinks he beat Parker. He did worse than Ruiz and Hughie. I generally don’t rate guys who look tough taking clear loses. It’s like idolizing Tony Tucker for doing okay against Tyson.

 

All your lists are wrong. Here's the correct one:

1. David Haye
2. David Price
3. Some other David
4. Ray Mercer
5. AJ cool J
6. Vacant
8. Prince Naseem Hamed
9. Vacant
10. Myself

There you go.
