    Up to number 1.

    1 Fury
    2 Joshua
    3 Usyk
    4 Wilder
    5 Whyte

    I probably have (in no particular order) Dubois, Hunter, Parker, Hrgovic, Povetkin making up my top 10!

    Ortiz would box Dubois ears off.

    Ortiz would be facing the roof if he gets in with DDD - told old mate and Wilder has softened him up.

    More talented, skilled and everything else more than anyone else. Usyk would dance rings round Wilder all night.

    Top 3 now has to be
    1. Fury
    2. AJ
    3. Wilder

    I dont think you can put Usyk above Wilder as a HW, based on one fight at HW. Usyk is favourite against Wilder, but he hasnt earned 3rd place.

    I would give DDD and Hrgovic great chances to beat a lot of top HWs. But you cant rank them above many of them, because they dont have the wins.

    I still say wilder and joshua need to fight it out for second place neither of thems proven better than the other. Fury battered wilder last night. But it wasn,t long ago ruiz battered joshua.

    I m not sure putting people above others based on getting beat up by someone else decides it. Its time for these guys to prove where they really belong as opposed to fighting hand picked opponents suited to their style.

    Wilder was 2nd after beating breazeale and ortiz. Joshua was 3rd because he lost to ruiz. But then beat an out of shape ruiz. And fury battered wilder. To put him back to 2nd. If last night showed us anything tho...we dont know till we see it happen. Fury stands alone at number one.

    Joshua is miles ahead of Wilder. He lost to Ruiz but avenged it straight away. Wilder hasn’t beaten anyone better than Ortiz. He’s been wildly protected.

    Unfortunately for Usyk, his size will be a big disadvantage against this Fury. Fury was ragdolling a 230lb Wilder last night, Usyk simply will not have the strength to stop Fury from bullying him and sapping his energy in the clinches and inside.

    A fat out of shape ruiz.

    Not buying it tbh. Up till last night on form....fury was probably 3rd. Then after last night turned out he was actually number one. Styles make fights. Furys style and size last night turned out to be a nightmare for wilder. But joshua doesnt posess the skills of fury. Wilder could turn out to be a nightmare for joshua. I dont think anyone could make a confident prediction that wilder wouldnt knock joshua out. Theres no real way of knowing 100 percent till we see it happen tbh.

    Think it should be fury v joshua next tho. Wilder needs to rebuild if he still has the will for it.

    No he's not. Predictable narrative btw.
