    Joshua is slow, cumbersome, doesn't jab and only moves back in straight lines. Was scared of getting knocked out by Parker so hardly threw anything and what he did throw mostly missed. Against Wilder he will be very scared of being knocked out.

    None of these punches are harder than te right hand that sparked Fury and Wlad`s folow up hook didn`t land even nearly as clean as Wilder`s follow up hook on Fury. The only punch AJ throws harder than Wilder is his jab and he`s a powerful body puncher also.

    Look how AJ sets up his power punches with the jab in the vid above your original comment. His combos in that vid were fast also.

    The thing is wilder is very effective against shorter guys. Not sure if Povetkin is fluid enough to stand close to wilder and get those combos off. If Joshua had fought guys around 6'2 he wouldn't have a problem at all and no one would beat him if fighters weren't 6'6. I bring this up bc wilder is used to shorter guys on average then Joshua is. Its another advantage Fury had going into that fight. for this reason i don't rank Povetkin over wilder.

    Lol, Fury wasnt sparked out, he went down twice, got up and won the round on both occasions. Joshua throws every punch harder than Wilder.

    :lol::lol::lol:. You dont get up from being out cold, let alone dance around with your hands behind your back 15 seconds after you get up making your opponent miss and then outbox your opponent for the rest of the round. Fury is a showman. His soft chin got buzzed, but he was fine, wasnt even wobbly when he got up.

    Parker has a better chin than Fury and isn't as easy to hit as most people think. Parker could easily be Wilders kryptonite.

    AJ all the way, until one of the others dethrones him.

    Fury sure has the overall potential to be back at the top of the tree, he has done a truly incredible job to have got himself in the shape he was for the Wilder fight, however can his discipline be sustained?, i hope it can.

    Do i think the Fury of the Wilder fight beats the present version of AJ, no.

    That's possible.

    Unless Wilder loses one of his next two fights, it's unlikely he and Pov will ever meet.

    The corrupt WBC took him out of their rankings so it ain't happening .

    This is a simple but a good question. . . In my opinion I would at this point rank the heavyeights among those who have boxed in 10 rounders:
    1. Joshua
    2. Fury
    3. Wilder
    4. Usyk
    5. Whyte
    6. Ortiz
    7. Zhilei
    8. Povetkin
    9. Pulev
    10. Parker
    11. Miller
    12. Rivas
    13. Bryan
    14.Ruiz Jr.
    15. Kownacki
    16. Kabayel
    17. Ugonoh
    18. Fujimoto
    19. Junlong
    20. Wallin
