This is a look at the current/recent heavyweight division and how it's depth of recent title challengers measure up to the past. So looking at the below contenders, who are the best fighters from the past or present you'd pick them with confidence to beat? Note: this isn't a Wilder/AJ thread, they just happen to be the current titlists so please take that debate to one of the 100 threads going back and forth on that. 1) 41 year old layoff Wlad 2) Current Alexander Povetkin 3) WBO holder Joseph Parker 4) Carlos Takam - pre Chisora 5) Eric Molina from either title shot 6) Charles Martin 7) Dominic Breazeale 8) Dillian Whyte 9) WBC Stiverne - let's ignore the rematch 10) Luis Ortiz of the Wilder fight 11) Gerald Washington 12) Szpilka of the Wilder fight 13) Duhaupas of the Wilder fight 14) Arreola of the Wilder fight
Also feel free to just chime in with a couple of entries if only one or two jump out at you! To kick this off I think there's great chance Ortiz wipes out the likes of Morrison, Hide, Brewster, Maskaev, Chagaev, Rahman and a whole host of others who I'd struggle to decide which I rated most highly.
