The end of 2018.......Your Top 5 Heavyweights

Fury
Wilder
Joshua
Usyk
Povetkin

 

By the way, Luis Ortiz has beaten NOBODY to make him a top ten heavyweight. He is the most overrated fighter in boxing.

 

1a Wilder
1b Fury
3. Joshua
4. Ortiz
5. Povetkin

 

1) Joshua
2) Fury
3) Wilder
4) Whyte
5) Povetkin

Top 3 could change but that's how I see it atm.
Usyk needs to fight @ HW before he goes in any list @ this weight.

 

Could see Miller in list even if he did not go in mine.
Whyte I think beats Ortiz.

 

1. AJ

(Distance)

2. Fury
3. Povetkin
4. Wilder
5. Whyte

I'm a big Fury fan but even I can't argue that AJ has solidified his position as top dog after seeing Fury's lack of chin and Wilder's serious lack of skill. And also, I'd favour Povetkin over Fury and Wilder, I really would. Those hooks put both men to sleep. I have Fury above Povetkin though because I think Fury beats everybody other than Povetkin and AJ, whereas Povetkin loses to someone like Whyte, Parker due to stamina issues.

Wilder was very disappointing and that's why I feel Povetkin edges ahead in this list.

 

Joshua - Was number 1 before and is still number 1 after last night, though only just.

Fury - Let's be honest he beat Wilder, that along with wins over Wlad and Chisora make him the clear number 2, maybe even number 1.

Povetkin - Only beaten by Wlad and Joshua, think he beats Wilder too if they ever fight, good resume.

Wilder - Lost to Fury, but the Ortiz win means he's still top 5.

Whyte - Only lost to Joshua, Good wins with Parker, Chisora and a solid win over Browne, that's a better resume than Ortiz who is really the only other person who could be top 5.

 

Yeah because 41 year old fighters who hadn\t fought in 2 years generally improve as fighters.

Fury fought the better Wlad, and he beat him more thoroughly. He outclassed a better Wlad.

Styles make fights and Fury is all wrong for Wlad (and Joshua)

I was very, very impressed by Fury last night. I think he'd trouble Joshua as well, though the latter has much greater punch variety than does Wilder. But that's a good top three, all in or near their primes. Hopefully, Usyk will join this top five as well.

 

Ortiz is not top 5.

Both Povetkin and Pulev should be ranked higher.

 

AJ drops the
