It’s between 3 fighters, all the other fights are pointless. Usyk can get involved in the future but has a lot to prove.
If they don't retire then yes in the next 5 years there will be Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Ajagba, Joyce at the top. Everybody else is mediocre.
It's wide open. Fury is good,but unstable. AJ and Wilder are great athletes, but have basic skill set. All of them are beatable. We also have tons of new guys coming up like Dychko, Joyce, Hrzegovic etc.., who can eventually defeat the top 3.
i agree with you. both fury and wilder are flawed…….and there are some real serious Talents out there: hrgovic, joyce, kuzmin and yoka are only a few fights away from being serious contenders. miller and whyte are contenders already and would make very competative challengers for either fury or wilder.
Wilder has been in some very serious situations for those paying attention to entire careers. Hes always at risk of losing more then the other guys Fury and Joshua bc he gives up rounds which invites potential losses as hes getting hit more. The division is wide open to get a title shot yea but Joshua crushes them all and its going to take a fighter to get the lead on him on scorecards or just trail him as well as hurt to slow him down by mid rounds to defeat him. Hes not just going to let someone coast and hope he lands a K.O blow, hes the best finisher in the game and when he turns it up its always lights out or ref stoppage. Beyond the top 3 ( we know who they are ) Fighters like Ortiz / Whyte / Joyce/ Parker / Miller / Pulev / Breazeale / Povetkin all make a interesting mix of unpredictability. These are the guys in the running competing outside the top 3.Any of these guys that can grab a title is then a top 3 fighter themselves. You also have Usyk waiting so we don't know what impact that has either.
Division is a little weak right now. Joshua and Fury are the top two guys. Wilder is severely flawed but can change a fight with his right hand power. Povetkin is just too old at this point to climb back near the top. Ortiz also too old. Pulev has not looked the same since Wlad hit him with numerous killer left hooks. Breazale is limited but has heart. Same with Miller. That would be a good showdown. Kownacki too. Could be fun - Usyk i’m Not sure he can hang with Joshua and avoid the power for a full fight but his skill set is the truth and I look forward to seeing him bringing fresh air and talent to the division.
I desperately want to see another pitbull like Tyson climb the ranks and demolish all the top contenders and belt holders but I fear he really was one of a kind and we won't see another modern HW half as explosive and dangerous as Tyson was before Don King ruined him. The only other up and coming heavyweights which currently interest me and are Miller, Joyce, Hrgovic, Arslanbek, Hunter, Gorman and Usyk (once he steps) up but I perceive that the current top three heavyweights will not be beaten except by a very special performance and truth be told I'm not sure any of the affermentioned names are ready to put in that sort of performance yet, if they are capable of beating the current top 3 at all. Time will tell...
