Top 10 Heavyweights right now Head to Head in your opinion

I would really have Wilder above Usyk right now.

 

Change Uysk for Wilder.

Parker beats Ortiz, Parker around 7-8. Ortiz down to 9-10. Whyte moves up.

its a decent list.

I think Rivas will earn a spot after his fight with Whyte.

 

I think Joshua should be top. He showed how smart he was against Povetkin, and that skill has slowly been improving over time. I think that's why, for me at least, puts him ahead of Fury now. And Fury is one of my favourite fighters and still is. I just think AJ is the most balanced heavyweight by far. He has a bit of everything. He has a good enough chin to bulldoze through Wilder, and he's become smart and accurate enough to catch both Wilder and Fury and challenge Fury over 12 rounds.

That's the key. AJ is becoming very accurate with his shots. He doesn't waste as much as he did, and when he lands once, it's almost like he's stuck to his opponent and they can't escape the relentless assault.

I honestly feel that AJ vs Fury isn't the Fury win that we originally thought. AJ is too accurate and Fury is vulnerable. And AJ can keep up with Fury when it comes to points scoring now.

He's got the skill to hold his own not just against Fury but also now against Usyk. I feel Usyk causes issues for Wilder but Fury's reach and AJ's accuracy + both guys' size advantage pose too many questions for usyk to overcome.

I also feel like Povetkin is a nightmare for both Wilder and Fury. He knows how to figure out the reach advantages that they have over him, and his hooks are devastating. I'd push Povetkin up a bit. I think the Whyte fight is a 50-50. The longer it goes though, the more it favors Whyte because Povetkin's stamina is a problem for him. I also feel like Povetkin smashes Ortiz to pieces. Ortiz to me is a little overrated.

 

In no order just as they come to me.

I think your list is the most accurate and comprised of genuine contenders who have proved themselves. I'm happy for anyone who wants to interchange the top 3 .

To have people like Joyce or Hrgovic in the top ten would be based on pure speculation. I know Usyk hasn't done anything at HW yet but we have seen him in with HW sized guys and he's looked legit.

 

I struggle to keep my cool with the above posters, so instead of going ballistic at their pathetic lists, I made my own.

And thankfully it has reached the right people. Cheers ACE.

I can only make it based on what I've seen, not what I think or speculation. Any of those prospects can fill the vacant slots.

Can you believe one poster still had Parker above Whyte, dear god.

 

Blonde Ortiz beats everyone

 

By Dillian Whyte May 2019 -

“Everyone says, ‘Joshua has only had a few fights’. I had seven amateur fights and 26 pro fights. When you talk about experience – I am the one that is inexperienced. Look at all the heavyweights, I am the only one.


“But I would fight any one of them and give them all the worst night of their lives.

“I would back him [Joshua] up from round one. No excuses but last time I had a different coach. We worked to draw him into the later rounds then try to take over, but I got injured and was in terrible condition.

“Next time I will take the fight to him – I am fitter, better, bigger, stronger.

“I watched a video of our last fight and saw how much smaller my legs and shoulders were. I am bigger now.

“A lot of things that he has been doing for 11 years, I’ve only just cottoned onto. I am closing the gap.”

1. Joshua
2. Fury
3. Wilder
4. Joyce
5. Hrgovic
6. Usyk ( hes already Joshua's mando has to be included somewhere around top 5 )
7. Whyte
8. Povetkin
9. Ortiz
10. Ruiz ( should be undefeated or had a belt ,fighting for a title shot sees him here ,but cant see him maintaining with the current stacked era creeping in already. I can see one of the guys taking off coming back in like Pulev or Parker within the year.


Out of my top 10 for now Parker ,Breazeale, Takam ,Pulev , Miller

The entire top 10 is going to shift with former champions leaving due to new guys coming in and losses where they will have to get back in by defeating these guys and top guys needing a key win with better fighters here now on the scene....

 

Right now, based on head to head

1 ) Joshua the best until beaten
2 ) Fury - Hard to out box, but still has a lot to prove
3 ) Hrgovic - On the rise
4 ) Wilder - power saves him, won't fight a top ten guy under 37 year of age. A cherry picker
5 ) Whyte - Decent, worthy of another title shot
6 ) Povetkin - On the decline, but still good as he showed vs Joshua. Older.
7 ) Usyk - On the rise, needs heavyweight fights to rate higher
8 ) Pulev - On the decline, but he can still box
9 ) Parker - A good opponent these days, lacks fire
10 ) Ruiz - Comes to fight, gets Joshua next. A good showing even in a loss can move him up a spot or two on this lis.t

Might be there in 2-4 more fights:

Joyce, Ajagba, Makmudov. Three big punchers.

Top very young talent Jarolov. Age 24. 6-0, 6 KO's. A world of potential. A huge southpaw with excellent straight punching type of skills. Fast has legs of steel. A big time puncher.

 

1. Usyk
2. Joshua (more consistent than Wilder)
3. Wilder
4. Ivan Dychko
5. Fury (offense too limited)
6. Hrgovic
7. Ortiz (gets a lot of **** for a fighter who doesn’t lose rounds and almost stopped Wilder)
8. Miller because size counts
9. Andy Ruiz
10. Povetkin
