    Interested in opinions. Is it fair to say Tyson is #1, AJ at #2 and Povetkin at #3 or do you have it differently?

    Usyk is 3rd. Sasha is 4th.

    Whilst I think Usyk in reality probably is #3 he hasn't yet proven it at heavyweight yet so can't put him in that spot yet

    Nope. Usyk would run rings around this version of him. Whyte's just not that good. He got lucky against Parker who he head butted to win, failed a drugs test against Rivas, stopped a shot to **** Brown and pretended he didn't know who Usyk was.

    He was #2 from 2009-2015 2016-2020 he's been somewhere in the top 5. There was a time where he would have walked all over Wilder, but I don't think we're there anymore. He might beat Wilder now, he might not. He's 41 in ten days.

    I think the Povetkin has consistently been in the heavyweight top 10 for about 13 years now..

    Nope.

    1. Fury
    2. Joshua

    3. Wilder
    4. Ruiz
    5. Povetkin

    Thats how I have it but those three are extremely close so whatever order those three is fine by me.

    Did you forget about Usyk or does he not factor in for you just yet?

    I dont rank him yet, hes only beaten one guy at heavy who probably wasnt ranked in the top 100, hard to justify his inclusion on that. If Chisora goes ahead next ill rank him based on that as at least Dereknis a top 15 rated fighter so can judge his performance properly.

    Whyte got exposed. Povetkin is 50/50 with every other top 10 heavy right now

    Yes it's fair to rank him 3rd. He has to be over Wilder who got Knocked out in his last fight and Usyk hasn't fought yet in division. He just had huge KO of the year over the ring #2 contender. Give the man his due.

    Depends where you had Whyte. Argument could be made for third, fourth or fifth is more realistic.
