AJ > Povetkin > Fury > Whyte > Wilder is more or less how I see HW at the moment. If the top guys fight each other a bit more it will sort itself out quickly enough. AJ is a decent all rounder made formidable by his strength. Povetkin has power and an all round top shelf skillset but is ageing before our eyes. He's got little time left. Fury may be back. If he can sharpen up properly he may be the new king soon. IF is a big word when used in relation to Fury, however. Whyte is there on the basis of his win over Parker. I'm not too crazy about him but, hey, so far he's delivering the goods. Wilder could improve, if he actually learned to box. He could be a force. I know ... that's like saying Fury could rule all, if he actually loved to eat right and was a gym rat. Then there's guys like Ortiz, Parker, Takam, Pulev and Chisora who I don't know where they are going at the moment. They're either inconsistent or old, or both. Really not a good division at the moment lets be honest.
How can you know this for sure? You could be right but that right hand that decked AJ was a helluva punch with full power and weight behind it. I'm not convinced that Wilder punches any harder than Wlad.
I think Fury is the best. Probably still have AJ at #1 though but depending on their next fights we'll see.
