    So would you rather see a four man tournament with Whyte/Ortiz/Pulev and Povetkin or would you rather see them fight Takam, Hughie Fury, David Price and Chisora?

    Oh look, we've got our first fanboy. Fury has already ducked Wlad and Wilder. Can you remember why he's been inactive? The reason starts with a P.

    Chisora is top ten in the UK. He's a journeyman to the rest of the world. Never cracked the Ring annual rankings.

    Are you a financial consultant? This thread is about the best fighting each other.

    Do you not consider that a problem?

    It's a problem when that period is three or four years and you've ducked rematches with each.

    I agree and I think a lot of people are missing the point

    it's been like this for a while

    wilder no top 10 wins before his WBC shot
    Joshua no top 10 wins before his IBF shot
    Martin and Glaskov no top 10 wins before a vacant title meeting

    it feels like a deli line, take your ticket and wait your turn

    that said I like the wins Whyte has compiled and Breazle impressed me vs Igonuh (spelling) and negron. I also think pulev beating chisors and fury are good wins and Miller ducked him

    I think it's all part of the problem with having so many sanction bodies that it's possible to avoid the real land mines in a division and get a title shot

    What's disturbing is AJ/Wilder & Fury are not fighting each other now & I don't think thay will.

    Wilder thinks his worth with keep rising and that the Joshua fight will be there for him. The problem is that either could get chinned or injured and have the fight fall apart (maybe even test positive). If Widler doesn't take the Joshua fight this year there's a problem.

    Fury wants top 40's like a pop music DJ.

    Looks like Fury briefly appears on the scene, makes some noise and then goes away...

    AJ has the best resume

    Fury has the best achievements, beating Wlad and Wilder how he did.

    Wilder is just hot garbage.

    Just reminding these guys they're all bums.

    They all fear him

    none of them talk smack about him.

    Miller and Brezeale love smack talking the men who are about to KO them, but to get in the ring with Fury gives them all nightmares.

    *Miller and Breazeale smack talk the champions who they’re about to fight. They remain silent in regard to cowards who fight top 40 no-names by choice.

    Look mate I have already smashed the **** out of your original post. You only have a point about 2 of the guys mentioned in terms of facing very weak competition but still being in the top 10. The rest of those fighters you have listed have faced an acceptable level of opposition or strong opposition.

    All throughout HW history there have been fights not coming off, this era is no different. We always have a large minority of moaners during every era, dogging it, and calling it the worst ever. Its been that way going all the way back to the 80s

    Go look at Boxrec top 20 and aside from Joshua who has fought around 6 people in the top 20 the rest of the top 5 only have 1 or 2 scalps in that list. It's poor but it's nothing new in the last couple of decades.
