    Should be aj till someone beats him anyway. He's been fighting good guys consistantly. Povetkin, parker, whyte, klitchko, breazeale. Its a solid list of names. He's knocked them all out bar parker.

    Add to that fury doesn't quite look 100 percent match fit and wilder slightly got exposed against him. A less than 100 percent fury...been away for two years doing pretty much everything wrong....was robbed of a win against him.

    I see Joshua above both of them quite comfortably atm. Not to say he,d beat them both but with everything we,ve seen so far and the current placements of wilder and fury after there fight. Joshua's the number one heavyweight.

    Fury needs to take a couple more slightly easier fights for me to get his sharpness back 100 percent. Wilder needs to make the Joshua fight. He's got a style that matches up well against Joshua imo. Until I see one of them beat Joshua if he keeps beating decent guys comfortably he's pretty much the number one imo.

    Fury. Easily the best

    Joshua second

    Probably Povetkin and Wilder tied for third and fourth

    Ortiz at fifth

    Yea he is at the level of 41 yo Wlad. 35yo wlad puts AJ out in 7 and outboxes or stops Fury.

    Currently a toss up between Fury and AJ and until they fight it's nigh on impossible to determine who is the better boxer in my mind, especially as they both hold wins over the same opponents of note.

    AJ makes less mistakes than Wilder and wouldn`t throw as many looping rights.
