    If these heavyweight boxers were in their early 20s with their trainers during the 2010s, what would the current heavyweight rankings look like?

    Mike Tyson
    Sonny Liston
    Joe Frazier
    Joe Louis
    Heavyweight Roy Jones Jr.
    David Tua
    Ken Norton
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Nikolai Valuev

    Including the current lot? They would dominate the top 10, I reckon Klitschko and Tyson would make up the top 3 with Fury. Usyk, Liston, Frazier, and Louis would make up the next spots. Tua/Norton/AJ/Wilder/Jones Jr would be next. Valuev would have accumulated a lot of Ls.

    Something like this:
    1. Klitschko
    2. Fury
    3. Tyson
    4. Liston
    5. Usyk
    6. Louis
    7. Frazier
    8. Tua
    9. AJ
    10. Norton

    Scrap Jones would get killed.

    Valuev nah.

    The rest well some would struggle with that reach factor. Opps. Just read your post in full. They would completely and utterly decimate the bums that fill the division today. Bar a few. Usyk has intelligence and determination. A.J, Wilder, Fury, cannon fodder.
