    With everything thats been going on in the heavyweight division these days I'd like to see some of your top tens...

    Mine
    1# Wilder
    2# Joshua
    3# Ortiz
    4# Fury
    5# Povetkin
    6# Whyte
    7# Miller
    8# Pulev
    9# Parker
    10#H Fury or Ruiz

    Really if you ask me the best division in boxing right now. I'm interested in seeing almost any of the top 10 fighters faceoff. I think when its all said and done one of either Wilder, Joshua and maybe even Fury will be considered great.

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

    Yes Deontay should be number 2 but i am 100% convinced Povetkin beats Wilder, so ive put him at 2. Tyson Fury below his own cousin? Yep, Tyson has fought a nobody and a guy ranked over 100 in his 2 comeback fights and hasnt looked good in them either. We can call him lineal but that is a title, a word, but it doesnt describe his current form or fitness.

    How on God's green earth can anyone justify having wilder as #1?

    It's literally impossible

    List is based mainly on current form of where they are at and who they have fought recently. 10th could have been anyone really.

    So I notice Povetkin is top 4 on any list with AJ #1…maybe I’m remembering wrong but, isn’t this the same Povetkin that was way too old and Long past it a few years back when Wilder was going to fight him? Oh well…

    2. Wilder
    3. Fury
    4. Ortiz
    5. Povetkin

    Povetkin
    Ortiz
    Whyte
    Fury
    Parker
    Miller
    Breazeale
    Chisora

    Joshua is the clear number 1 for me he's beaten 4 of my top 10, nobody else can say they've beaten more than 1 top 10 opponent.

    Wilder 2nd after Povetkin's recent loss and he's about to fight a 2nd top 10 heavy in Fury. I still think Povetkin beats him but on recent form Wilder is clear number 2 for me.

    I can't have Fury in the top 5 he hasn't looked good since Wlad and we really don't know how much he has left. But I guess we'll find out in December where he really stands at the moment, but until then just outside of the top 5 seems about right to me.

    Not much to separate the bottom 3 in Miller, Breazeale and Chisora for me. Both Breazeale and Miller lack any outstanding wins but both unbeaten, Miller I moved above Breazeale simply because he's been active unlike Breazeale. Chisora sneaks in at the bottom with his win over Takam, which is probably better than anything on Miller and Breazeale's record but Takam was old and beating him before the stoppage and Chisora has some losses.

    Welter is a better division because P4P Crawford and Spence are a lot better than any of the heavies this time and one of Spence`s sparring partners stated on youtube that he hits as hard as a light heavy! Horn is better p4p the most fighters on this list despite being outclassed by the amazing Craword. Manny fought better in his last fight than many on this list also, if Floyd comes back he`ll probably have enough in the tank to out do 60% of these guys also. Benavidez just fought better than any of these guys when he fought Crawford.

    No way is this even near the worst heavyweight division in boxing history, Marciano had Charles and Walcott but aside from that his era was really lackluste compared to this era and the same could be said for Louis aside from Conn and Schmeling and Conn was a light heavy. The 80`s were worse than this too aside from Holmes and Tyson, Tony Tucker would have rated very high though and Michael Spinks, but during Tyson`s era Spinks was inactive aside from 91 seconds. For a large part of the 80`s Holmes was on bad form too, he was in his 30`s and his body wasn`t in good enough condition if he were around today taking on better trained heavie like AJ and Wilder.
