    What current heavyweights do you like, which ones have you looking forward to their fights?

    Which ones do you like the least?

    I look forward to seeing Usyk, Wilder, Makhmudov, Jalalov, Gassiev, Zhang, Kossobutskiy, Joyce, Joshua, and Hrgovic.

    I'm not a fan of Ruiz, Whyte, Franklin, and Miller.

    I have mixed feelings about Fury. I very much enjoyed his third fight against Wilder, but he's been very disappointing ever since.

    Heavyweights i like Usyk, Joyce, Zhang.

    Heavyweights i dislike Fury, Joshua, Wilder, although i did used to enjoy Joshua's fights before he turned cautious after Ruiz loss, and the antics after the 2nd Usyk fight turned me off him. As for Fury ? well i think everyone is aware why i dislike him just look at the news in the past year. As for Wilder ? he just comes across as unlikable to me plus he fought alot tomato cans aswell, but he does have some exciting KO's i'll give him that.

    I find Wilder unlikable as a person, but he's never in a dull fight.

    It's true that Joshua was better to watch before the Ruiz loss, he used to always go for the KO.

    Due to inactivity I can't say I like any of them at the moment.

    In no particular order, and I like them for completely different reasons, Usyk, Joyce, Chisora, Zhang.

    And last, and the least. Fat belly, double decker twin arse cheeks, Fury...in very small doses these days.

    The small doses I like, are usually when Fury's mouth is shut, and when he actually fights...

    I don't know him as a person.

    I only know him as a celebrity, and he's somewhat unlikable as that.

    None of them to be honest. They are just too inactive and don't fight good quality boxers.

    I like Usyk, Zhang and Ruiz.

    About who I dislike - I think there's a difference between disliking someone as a fighter and as a person. I have always rated Fury's talent and skills very highly, he is a fantastic fighter. But his resume is paper thin and his despicable ways are stalling the entire division. Also, I don't really care for Wilder as a person. He is a limited boxer, but I found his lunatic conspiracy theories about how or why Fury beat him pathetic and ridiculous. I'm not really fond of people who admittedly want to murder others either so his "I want a body on my record" thing was utterly disgusting.

    My favorite is Fury.

    I also have always liked Wilder.

    From the contenders I like Zhang.

    My least favorite is Usyk. Not so
    Much even Usyk more like his fanboys.

    Also I don’t see the appeal in Hrgovic.
