Interested in how people see the division 2 years from now. If there needs to be a guide I'd say a top ten according to Boxrec rankings which cuts some of the subjectivity out of it if this thread is revisted 2 years from now. I'll need to think thru my own potential top 10 before posting it tho.
1. Wladimir 2. Pulev 3. Abdusalamov 4. Boytsov 5. Glazkov 6. Szpilka 7. Fury 8. Jennings 9. Povetkin 10. Huck 11. Stiverne 12. Ruiz Jr. 13. Wilder 14. Takam 15. Mitchell
1.Audley Harrison (Unified Champion) 2.Amir Mansour 3.Charlie Zelenoff (WBA Regular Champion) 4.Oleg Maskaev 5.Andre Ward 6.Andrew Hartley 7.Manuel Charr (WBC Mediterranean Champion) 8.Kimbo Slice 9.Riddick Bowe 10.James Stabler
1. Wladimir Klitschko 2. Deontay Wilder 3. Tyson Fury 4. Denis Boystov 5. Alexander Povetkin 6. Kubrat Pulev 7. Andy Ruiz Jr 8. Magomad Abdusalamov 9. Vyacheslav Glazkov 10. Robert Helenius
HW boxing anything can happen we all know Wlad can be hurt. Povetkin is one of the better fights for Wlad in a while. Obviously Wlad is the Favorite but it is not a sure thing. I would say that any HW that has been KO before can happen again,right?
I am actually hopeful that he can pull it off because this will be huge - lots of things can change once Vlad is dethroned. I like Vlad a lot as a boxer but he has been there for quite a while and we will see new dynamics in the HW if he is not at the TOP at least for a while.
1- Tyson Fury 2- David Haye 3- Hughie Fury 4- Kubrat Pulev 5- Mariusz Wach 6- Alexander Povetkin 7- Artur Szpilka 8- Dereck Chisora 9- Johnatan Banks 10-? Approssimative list, i don't believe in it too much, but Wlad will be retired for sure, no doubts about that. Interesting topic, though.
