    I think Tyson Fury is to blame for the titles being scattered isnt he. The IBF he couldnt do much about but he did slowly lose the the WBO and WBA. I think T Fury was a great champ but the current world champs love the sport just a little bit more IMO.

    Whats your top 10 current heavyweight ranking by the way? Dont worry I wont get critical, its all a guessing game in the end but I am curious.

    Tough right now to rank, due to many top fighters inactivity and or steroids etc.
    1 and two, in either order:
    AJ
    Wlad
    3 Wilder
    4. Ortiz
    5 Parker
    6. Pulev
    7.Stiverne
    8. Takam
    9. Hammer
    10. Whyte
    Big gap between top 6 and everyone else. Fury and Povetkin would belong in top 5, with Fury one, except both have too many issues and it's possible neither will ever fight an accredited bout again. Haye is completely unproven as a 35 year old with a reconstructed shoulder wieghing 10 pounds above his old weight, and doesn't belong on a top ten list anymore than Sultan Ibrahimovic would if he came out of retirement and beat two sub top 50 fighters. I'll never understand how overated Haye always gets, even by people who supposedly hate him.

    Fury and Klitschko should be 1 and 2, but they haven't fought in over a year so...

    1. Povetkin
    2. Ortiz
    3. Parker
    4. Wilder
    5. Pulev
    6. Joshua
    7. Hammer
    8. Browne
    9. Whyte
    10. Ruiz Jr.

    That's my Top 10 of active heavyweights, based on resume. Joshua is the heir apparent and probably the best h2h, but right now his best win is Whyte.

    I would put Nichols slightly ahead of Wilder, and maybe sneak Bronco Billy in there
