    5) Wilder
    4) Whyte
    3) Joshua
    Tied first) Usyk and Fury

    Do you agree with Hearn's top 5 list?

    I was thinking move Wilder upto fourth and either have Whyte or swap with Joyce.

    Wilder vs Whyte would be an interesting match up.

    On what merit is Whyte better than Wilder?

    Beat more ranked guys, fewer losses.

    Not saying it's the case but it's definitely not bizarre and weird.

    You know he's put Usyk and Fury tied so he can justify Joshua being top if he beats Usyk in the rematch. Guess it's an okay list though.

    My personal top 5 is:
    1. Fury
    2. Usyk
    3. Wilder
    4. Joshua
    5. Joyce

    Hearn has 5 months to work out what he's going to do when AJ loses again

    Wilder fight?

    Fury is number 1 then brotha usyk.

    It's a bit of a strange situation because imo usyk is maybe p4p number 1 but Fury is the king of boxing as the heavyweight number 1.

    If there is a number 1 then it is probably Fury, but he might not be as good as Usyk.

    1) Fury
    2) Usyk
    3) Wilder
    4) Joyce
    5) Robinson

    Seems fair enough really
    Think a lot of people have Fury and Usyk tied until they fight.
    Personally I have Whyte and Wilder tied, but I expect Whyte to drop out of the top 5 if/when he takes a loss to Fury.
    But going off resume I think TBRB, Boxrec and The PBO have got it right:
    1. Fury
    2. Usyk
    3. Joshua
    4. Whyte
    5. Wilder

    At the end of the day Whyte has some solid wins over highly ranked opponents from the Americas, Europe and Australasia; Wilder the former World Champion has some wins over highly ranked opponents from the Americas on his resume...says it all really

    It’s good but I don’t think Whyte deserves to be in the top 5 list.
