Current HW top 10 list in immediate aftermath of Fury Wilder

1. Joshua
2. Fury/Wilder
3. Povetkin
4. Ortiz
5. Whyte
6. Parker
7. Pulev
8. Chisora
9. Miller
10. Kownacki

 

Your top 10 has 11 people.

 

C - Tyson Fury - "And STILL the undefeated, lineal h/w champion of the world". The one true & rightful ruler of the h/w division. There can be many alphabet champs. There can only be one lineal champ.

1. Anthony Joshua - Undefeated, unified alphabet & Olympic champ.
2. Deontay Wilder - Undefeated WBC champ.
3. Oleksandr Usyk - Undefeated, unified cruiser & Olympic champ.
4. Jarrell Miller - Undefeated pie-eating champ.
5. Dillian Whyte - He's no sure thing against Chisora. Deserves a top 5 spot though by taking on all comers & winning.
6. Luiz Ortiz - Did everything against Wilder except beat him. Has won a couple since.
7. Michael Hunter - I think he beats most of the guys below him.
8. Dominic Breazeale - The second best American h/w from the 2012 Olympics. WBC mandatory.
9. Adam Kownacki - Keeps fighting & winning against decent opposition. Gerald Washington is another good fight for him next up.
10. Kubrat Pulev - Has taken the easy road to a mandatory position with the IBF. Not for the first time.
11. Joseph Parker - 2 losses this year & no wins has him outside my top 10. He'll go back in when he starts winning again.
12. Alexander Povetkin - I don't get people ranking him top 10. He's had his shot & got pole-axed. He's also pushing 40. Go to the back of the queue, comrade.

Joshua
Fury
Wilder
Povetkin
Whyte
Ortiz
Miller
Parker
Pulev
Kownacki/Chisora

Past the top four you could swap a lot of those names about, but based on resume and current form that's how I'd have them. Ortiz might need to drop soon if he doesn't get a decent name win. Same with Pulev. Breazeale could get back on there if he starts getting active again.

 

How does AJ have the better resume when Fury first beat the boxer that is the best fighter on Joshua's resume, and also has just boxed the other top boxer that would of been on Joshua's resume?

 

1. Anthony Joshua
2. Tyson Fury
3. Deontay Wilder
4. Alexander Povetkin
5. Dillian Whyte
6. Luis Ortiz
7. Joseph Parker
8. Kubrat Pulev
9. Jarrell Miller
10. Dominic Breazeale

Could switch Whyte and Ortiz but Whyte has a better resume imo. Could take Breazeale out and add in any of Kownacki, Chisora, Kabayel, Hammer, Jennings or HunteH, not much between the bottom end of the pack.

 

1. Anthony Joshua
2. Tyson Fury
3. Alexander Povetkin
4. Deontay Wilder
5. Dillian Whyte
6. Joseph Parker
7. Luis Ortiz
8. Kubrat Pulev
9. Jarrell Miller
10. Derek Chisora

 

I think below numbers 1 & 2, you could argue things a bit but I would guess

1. Fury
2. Joshua
3. Povetkin
4. Pulev
5. Whyte
6. Wilder
7. Parker
Struggle to decide for 8 & 9
8. Ortiz, Miller?
Could pick several at 10

 

My comparison is nothing to do with his technical ability.

I'm referring him to 'This era's Bowe', in the sense that Joshua is this era's Lennox Lewis.....

And that like Bowe, there are some crazies out there that rate Wilder higher based on nothing more than his nationality.

 

Simple. Fury has zero wins against boxers ranked in my top 10, Joshua has three.

That's the short answer, if you want the long answer just ask and I'll send it

 

Coming up:
- Efe Ajagba
- Joe Joyce
- Daniel Dubois
- Oleksandr Usyk

 

1. Joshua
2. Fury
3. Wilder
4. Ortiz
5. Povetkin
6. Whyte
7. Joyce
8. Parker
9. Breazeale
10. Miller / Pulev

 

All wins, including a stoppage. Seriously, why do you even try?
