    Lol. If you actually believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.... Fury, Wilder, or Joshua can't even spell top 20 in heavyweight history much less be in the top 6.

    Yes it certainly does...the estrogen laden posts, the overly self important, know it all, "my opinions are more important than yours" emotional frenzy always displayed by the Dave Zyglewicz of posters in this forum.

    Notice that in his forum name, after "Dubble", he spelled "digit IQ" wrong.

    I think Joshua could prove to be top 15 or even top 10 yet, depending on how his career goes.

    He's had a better start than Wlad who's in plenty top 10s.

    The top 3 of today can beat any of those names above H2H and I'd make them a strong favourite for most. Of course Ali, Frazier and Foreman are greater in a historical sense but can you really see Norton or Patterson having much luck against AJ or Wilder? Neither of those 2 guys liked punchers and I can see both AJ and Wilder having quite an easy time of it. And Bugner and Cooper must be a joke right? They were solid fighters but they wouldn't be champs in the current era. What has either of them done that would make you think they could beat Fury, AJ or Wilder? Cooper would be KO'd quite easily. I can see more of a case made for Bugner as he was a tough mofo and he might beat Wilder but I would favour AJ or Fury over him for sure.

    For Christ's sake. You said you didn't think Fury, Wilder and Joshua were even as good as Henry Cooper.

    And you got your panties in a bunch because I called you out on that?

    Boxing obsessed? You're an idiot.

    And I've used the name Dubblechin on boxing boards for 23 years as a joke because so many boards are filled with fake tough guys like you who choose user names like RED COBRA!!!! (Seriously? LOL) RED COBRA?

    You're a douche.

    And if you think Henry Cooper is better than Wilder, Fury and Joshua ... you're also don't know crap about boxing. And I don't waste my time with people who don't know crap about boxing.

    On IGNORE you go. **** off.

    I have a hard time not rating Wilder today...I mean, how many defenses has he made of that title already? And he didn't get beat by the lineal champion. I think Wilder out of all of today's heavies deserves some respect.

    I have an equally hard time with Joshua's quitting against Ruiz (nevermind his somewhat dubious chin). and Fury's borderline Slapsie-Maxie style doesn't impress me too much. Wilder has his faults as well (most of which would probably be solved by a super trainer ala Futch or Steward)...but in my eyes he's the heavy to beat at this point in time, and most poised to eventually make the HOF.

    Just my opinion.
