    Just curious.

    Fury
    AJ
    Usyk
    Whyte
    Parker
    Povetkin
    Ruiz jr

    Looks fair. I rank Fury and Ruiz a bit higher but overall pretty close to yours.

    Physical power is one thing. Measurable. How they might / will land it is different.

    Usyk is 217 lber not 117 lber. :D
    A.J fanboy, your smell and hate vs Usyk is annoying.

    Why? A.J demonstrated power vs 39.yo Pulev. Predictable power. Like Usyk vs Whiterspoon.
    Okey, Usyk didn't had stopped Chisora.
    A.J was not capable to stop Ruiz in 1 st and 2 nd fight, more than this: Ruiz had stopped A.J!

    Bearing in mind that Wilder most likely is with better chin than bodybuilder hometown champ, most likely Fury also being larger, might have higher single punch physical power. Fury also moves smoothly and fast for his size.

    Fury is comfortable with clinches and maybe will prefer not to attempt out box vs Usyk but hold, maul and press, rotate Usyk.
    Because Fury is considerably larger and heavier and he is smart, I see high success percentage here for Fury.

    Agree. That's why Usyk was able to hurt Chisora and KTFO Bellew. He lacks power but has great timing.

    Totally agree with your comment about Fury looking for the clinches ,will definitely look to smother usyk's movement as given time and space, usyk's awkward for anyone..

    Think you are overestimating usyk's power tho, he's an amazing fighter but weight does matter. That works in two ways against chisora he looked like he was feeling a few of those shots that did land. Plus don't see him having the bang to put AG or Fury down. His best chance with both is a points win. If Im wrong about this I will happily eat my words, as I do actually really like uysk

    I'm talking about the ones he was easily able to see coming and avoid because they were telegraphed and slower. Some landed but AJ wouldn't have been able to avoid a prime Wlad's left hooks so easily

    Well, Andy "too fat" Ruiz hadn't shown any serious power before either, but he was able to put AJ on his ass with every clean punch he landed, so Fury might have some surprises for your boy in the bag as well.

    He didn’t drop AJ with every clean punch plus AJ was badly hurt from the temple shot. Ruiz also hits a good bit harder than Fury it’s quite obvious tbh.

    Difference is tho, yh Ruiz doesn't look like your standard heavy. But if you want to play the inside game with his fast hand speed there is always a chance of coming unstuck. Let's face it he's got weight to throw around at limited range.

    Uysk as good as he is just isn't bringing that. But is bringing everything else, power is the only area he's lacking at heavy

    It didn't become obvious until he put AJ down 4 times tbh. Before that, he didn't have a single legit KO over a durable opponent and had went the distance with several walking punching bags.

    Usyk hasn't even knocked down a heavyweight yet. These huge overweight behemoths are just too strong for him. Feed him to Andy Ruiz like a Christmas turkey!
