Current HW top 10 list in immediate aftermath of Fury Wilder

Joshua's biggest name on his resume is Wladimir. Fury was the fighter that took Wladimir's titles. Fury's also got Wilder on his resume. Yes it's classed as a draw, but it's still a bigger name than all the other fighters on Joshua's resume. Fury is lineal champion for a reason.

 

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

10:kownacki/breazeale.

 

1. AJ (Top dog, shown in the Povetkin fight and proved after Wilder-Fury)

2. Fury (Chin and current shape the only reasons he isn't top of the pile. Think he gets KO'd by Povetkin and AJ at the moment, but improved shape and speed should help him)

3. Povetkin (Arguably the second most balanced heavyweight after AJ. He has everything apart from size. As we saw against AJ, he can be deadly if he lands clean, I think he puts Wilder and even the current Fury out of their misery)

4. Wilder (Most powerful heavyweight, that is for sure. But his flaws were exposed in the Fury fight and it drops him below Povetkin who I think smashes him to pieces)

5. Whyte (Still young, decent resume. I rate him above Ortiz because of age and the fact that Whyte's stamina and determination to keep going are superior to Ortiz)

6. Ortiz (Still good, but not quite the fighter he was. Stamina will let him down against Fury, Povetkin and AJ. Whyte is a 50-50 for me.)

7. Pulev (Not a fan of how he fights but it works. I don't think the below have the ability to knock him out, and he's much more skilled than the below also. Arguably 4th most skilled after Fury, AJ and Povetkin)

8. Parker (Not quite what he was cracked up to be. He still gives anybody a good fight though. KO's both Chisora and Miller, and has a good chance against Pulev, Ortiz and even Wilder)

9. Joyce (Proven amateur so you have to have him in here somewhere. I think the potential is there to be top 5, he just hasn't shown it against any top opposition yet. Once he does he springs up the rankings)

10. Chisora (Anyone is better than Miller and Breazeale who I don't rate whatsoever, so..)

 

Joshua
Fury
Wilder
Ortiz
Povetkin
Miller
Whyte

 

1. AJ
2. Fury
3. Wilder

The above are the clear top 3

4. Povetkin
5. Joyce
6. Whyte
7. Miller
8. Ortiz

All the above really close, could have them in any order really.

9. Parker
10. Pulev

These two are slightly ahead of chisora/kownacki etc.

 

I got 2 as second equal.
