I think either Usyk or Fury will come out on top in HW division.

    Unless Wilder develops pretty good boxing skills or AJ works on his stamina and learn how to use his strength, I don't see either beating Usyk or Fury. Fury has exceptional, defense, and footwork, plus he is a really good switch hitter, can fight effectively in both stances. Usyk is the best southpaw at HW plus he does a very good job at judging distance, a great counterpuncher, excellent work weight, and he can box from long range, mid-range, and in the pocket. This is how I see it as of now. Wilder and AJ are both severely flawed and I think it's time to except that neither AJ or Wilder is as great as we thought they were going to be. The future imo will be Usyk, Fury, Dubois, and Effa Ajagba are the future of the HW division. It's sad because Wilder and AJ are so talented and both had the potential to be in the class of Louis, Ali, Foreman, Lewis, Holyfield, and prime Tyson.

    I think Fury, if not Wilder. Usyk would be my third choice at this point with AJ 4th. Hopefully no one really thinks Ruiz is going to be Last Man Standing.

    Wilder is too flawed.

    Just imagine if ruiz wins the rematch, then beats fury, usyk and wilder. He'd be an atg. Unlikely but I didn't think he would win last night and he did.

    I’d go with Fury.... I don’t think Usyk can be gauged as he hasn’t fought at heavyweight yet....

    I think Fury has the most talent/skill, but he's probably too undisciplined to ever reign at the top.

    Wilder... Wilder is very good, but also flawed. And he's old. He'll be turning 34 soon.

    Usyk needs at least one fight at heavy before I can evaluate him. Unfortunately, he's a tad old as well.
