    After Wilder and Fury fight each other, then you can argue elite one for the winner.

    Usyk has a lot to prove at heavyweight.

    I can always tell a British fan as soon as they include Chisora, Haye or Price on a list of top contenders.. . . .The only reason that Henry Cooper isn't included is because he is dead.

    Only only one I have a problem with is Miller,has to be a reason he’s been kept away from the pack.
    Good list otherwise

    Lol Chisora is a joke,got schooled in Monaco and was down against Takam.Dont expect him to be even competitive against Whyte this time.
    ALWays been a good competitive fighter but never world class imo.

    And yet chisora went distance with many world class fighters.

    He had a bad day in Monaco end of story.

    He took a beating with Takam but soaked it up and won with a skillful knockou
    .. not a lucky knockout.

    Funny how Muhammad Ali is the greatest for doing rope a dope vs foreman

    But Chisora cant use the same tactics.

    Give me a break. He planned that **** hands down.. sparting footage with jennings confirmed.

    Chisora is minimum Tier 2.. arguably Tier 1.

    Yes I was a bit harsh,calling his boxing a joke is a bit off but I’ve never liked his way out of the ring.
    Tier two is fair but with Chisora you never know what you gonna get,he either turns up like against Whyte or is poor,sometimes not appearing to even try.lost count of the times he’ll win and then lose inexplicably to someone and have to rebuild again and in his case he gets chance after chance.
    He’s his what he is but has always been found lacking against top ten/fifteen guys which is why I said he wasn’t world level.

    Haven't read every response word for word but had a scan, but have to say if anyone else hasn't yet that Usyk hasn't fought at heavyweight yet, and while he's an elite talent he can't be considered a heavyweight, or even an elite one, until he does compete and perform at the weight.

    Hrgovic will be elite or t1 minimum.

    Joyce Tier 1 too. I'm not sure if Whyte can beat him even now.

    History tells us that the super heavyweights with some skill have such an advantage.Usyk is a law unto himself imo.

    I think Chisora been unlucky in his time with a few bad calls but this is boxing.I might as well say I can always tell a USA fan as soon as they include Wilder or some other boxer,btw about Cooper is out of order.:nonono
