    :lol: Probably.
    These pikeys.

    If a British fighter wins a heavyweight title next year it won't be by beating Wlad Klitschko.
    No way in hell.

    Joshua is a very good prospect, but I saw some " glass " in his amateur days.

    Fury over Wlad? Are you kidding me? I'm laughing. Fury has no defense and a shaky chin. And since Fury comes to fight Wlad would KO him worse than Pulev.

    The best British heavies don't exactly have their roots grounded in the UK. See Fitz or Lewis who developed elsewhere.

    I'm not convinced anyone coming up is better than Haye or Povetkin.

    I'd pick Usyk to beat them both.

    I haven't seen Joshua fight, so I can't say for sure. But other than him, I have to agree. Povetkin is probably the most solid fighter the heavyweight division has seen in years aside from Wlad and Vitali. And while Haye was very good at cruiser, he never did anything to prove himself at heavy.

    I know im beginning to sound like Dinovelvet.

    But yes, i believe Fury has more of a chance than Pulev, Haye and Povetkin did.

    As for Joshua, yes, i believe there may be some glass hidden somewhere

    I think Haye was a very good heavyweight, but it's a shame he'll never have a resume to match his talent. He handled an old Ruiz and Valuev fairly easily and was the only guy to destroy a focused Chisora. As much **** as he gets for the Wlad performance, he still split some early rounds and is the only guy to hang around around late, unscathed and keeping his power. He landed a big shot in the 12th, but couldn't land the "right" shot to put him back in the fight. I think he was at least on the level of Moorer, Mercer, Dokes, Ruddock, etc. in h2h terms.

    Gtfoh, hype him all you want, his resume is very very poor.

    As for calling me a teenage rookie? You are the one named after a batman villian.

    keep that in mind

    when corrie, a neverman in his own era, is touted as the lineal champ in the K bro era whislt in his worst |(retired) form ever, you know the division is weak.


    touting corrie doesn't help the K bros cause, it just underlines how weak the era is and how tenuous a grasp the two K bros managed on the title despite having it so easy and tagteaming that noeone in history needed to resort to.

    the best S-HW...

    hardly fair to compare past HW greats who are on average 6" shorter than him. like it or not they ARE a Different Division, the smaller guys, generally speaking, just can't get close enough to these Giants!!!

    how is Byrd second tier? Not only does he have a better resume than Vitalj, he actually beat him as well.

    Vitalis resume is pathetic, just because Sanders was number 2 doesn't mean much.

    outside of Wladmir, Sanders best win was.........Michael Sprott and Bobby Czyz
