    If Wilder beats Fury - Wilder. I don't care how bad his boxing is, if he can land he earns his ranking.

    Otherwise - Joshua. He's levels below Usyk but I'm tempted to believe every heavyweight is. If Wilder can't KO Fury in a third attempt I'd pick Joshua to beat him in under 12, and anyone below that without further evidence.

    Wilder and AJ wont happen. Wilder will not come outside of the US, and AJ will be a fool to go over there.

    If Wilder gets his belt back, he will shove it up his ass and no one will set it again and he'll retire with a sense of insufferable self-satisfaction.

    Usyk
    Fury
    Joshua
    Wilder
    The rest

    Why Usyk ahead of Fury?

    Because Fury's biggest win was probably Wilder and I don't rate Wilder that much. AJ had the best resume at heavy comfortably (even though I think Fury beats him H2H) and now that Usyk clearly thumped him, he vaults to the top.

    AJ number 3 until Joyce jabs his face off.
