    Joshua obviously. Chisora and Pulev would not even fight him for millions, Klitschko tried to duck him until he was pressured in to a fight. Tyson Fury retired because he knew Joshua would smash him to bits and make it look easy.

    Pulev has better resumé than WILDER. He's got an uphill battle according to this poll

    Klitschko makes it easily.

    Fury would make it even easier, but he has passed into being inactive while also having pending drug suspensions/issues.

    Povetkin would make my list next, but he has pending drug suspensions/issues.

    Wilder, love him or hate him, in today's HW division at this moment would warrant being named here.

    Joshua and Parker neck and neck up next.

    Huuuuge, long gap after him... So, I'll vote for Klitschko, Wilder, and Joshua.

    EDIT: Well, speaking of inactivity, Klitschko kinda sorta maybe doesn't deserve this either. So it'd be Parker instead of him then.

    Interesting. 1 Anthony Joshua 42 votes: 2 Wladimir Klitschko 36 votes: 3 Tyson Fury 21 votes so far. Polls always seem to make sudden changes after a couple of days though.

    I predicted Haye will at least get third place in this poll, if he dominates Bellew in a couple of rounds on Saturday. I know that is what is expected of Haye, but a lot of boxing fans are easily impressed after they see someone blast out a overmatched oppoent. Joshua vs Molina comes to mind.

    LOL at the people listing Fury! How many Top 5 heavyweights has he beaten in the last 3 years? How does that place him in the top 3? Plus he outright refused 2 rematches with Wlad Klitschko WITHOUT an injury! He simply ducked the #2 heavyweight TWICE.

    These facts, combined with Furys inactivity and no date set for a comeback fight makes it clear he isn't to be ranked at all.

    You have raised a very interesting question, and I wonder what people's opinion of Fury retiring really is. Sorry, but going to start a thread about it to find the answer.

    No even one person rates Whyte, or Pulev. Is there anybody I have missed who you would of voted for?
