    The Dosser is done and has more forks in his ass than there are in the kitchen drawer of a restaurant

    Anderson just got mauled to death by a Congolese bear

    Big Baby Miller got stopped by Dubois two fights ago

    Fat Andy just lost to PED free Big Baby Miller in all bar the judge's eyes

    It has to be my boy Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter Jr. Sure he's not been fighting world level guys in recent years but like Elton said he's the one who is still standing

    Good question
    I think there could be several answers in that -

    Resume
    Probably have to say Wilder,

    Best win
    For best individual win, would have to say Ruiz with his win over Joshua.

    I suppose it would come down to who I think would prevail if individual match ups were made at this current time
    With that I would pick Miller. He has an amazing chin and durability as well as a good work rate

    Yes if picking today would say Miller

    Eh, not sure about that lol. He got battered by Jerry Forrest 3 years ago and got away with a gift draw and this year he got beaten up by some Russian boxer but for some reason it was counted as an exhibition?

    Has to be Miller. A draw (which he clearly won) against Ruiz is better than anything these other guys have done lately.

    He was ill against Forrest. He even threw his dinner up in the corner in between rounds

    Yes, that was an exhibition. Had it been a real fight he would've lost but I didn't realize it was an exhibition at the time

    The Dosser is 1-4 in his last 5 including 3 via stoppage

    Miller got knocked out 2 fights ago and is a walking PED factory so his entire resume is invalid

    Anderson just got knocked out

    Fat Andy who Hunter stopped in the amateurs on the outclassed rule clearly lost last night and has been locked away in his pantry for the last few years

    bahaha they're so bad

    America needs to sort itself out

    Jake Paul in my books is the current best HW in America.

    Wilder should not be on that list, he is retired and shot to pieces.

    The rest are fat, have no talent and no hunger.to succeed.

    Reading that list is a sad sobering state of affairs. Lord have mercy what a mediocre list. Where are you Jack Dempsey or Joe Louis?
