    I do as well now because everytime he steps into the ring he is facing an undefeated opponent in father time. That takes courage.

    He has excellent ring IQ when it comes to exchanging and a pure boxing chess match, he just doesn't stylistically blend with fighters who refuse to throw any punches like Christian Hammer on 2 weeks notice.

    Put him in with brawlers like Makhmudov, Whyte, Chisora, and Joshua and he'll look like a god. Hes the dark horse of the division. You'll all see. He'll make all you haters look foolish.

    Chisora is my favourite current heavyweight but I guess he isn't top 10 anymore.

    So of the top 10, Joyce and Usyk are my number 1 and 2. Then Joshua.

    From that list.... clearly Usyk. After him, comes Joyce and Ortiz, then Wilder and Ruiz. Helenius becomes a glass cannon after he gasses, so from that perspective, he's always fun to watch. Fury without a dance partner that will give him hell, is unbearable to watch. Safety first Joshua and quite frankly, even destroyer AJ, has always been by the numbers and mechanical. Parker used to be thrilling, now he's morphed into a feather fisted bore. Sanchez is not and never will be a top 10 Heavyweight, I would say he's as exciting to watch as paint drying, but that's an insult to watching paint dry. At least there's a zen like quality to that. Frank is HORRIBLE to watch, and I can't wait for him to get violently KO'd, and it won't be against a Top 10 guy, someone like Arreola will be his conqueror.

    Hrgovic, but he is not listed in the poll, so I voted for Usyk, who is my second favorite...

    I would have said Fury, but he's retired.

    So... Whyte as he actually fought 6-7 solid to great opponents win or lose:
    • Fury (L)
    • Joshua (L)
    • Parker (W)
    • Povetkin (W)
    • Chisora (W)
    • Rivas (W)
    • Helenius (W)
    but he isn't an option...

    Erm, Usyk? But he hasn't really fought much at Heavyweight.

    Has always been Fury or Usyk for me but I've become so bored with Fury's attention seeking antics over the last few months that I'm a bit tired of him.

    Usyk doesn't really put a foot wrong and is very likeable. Also a brilliant boxer too.

    I understand appreciating a defensive fight but I honestly just can’t with him, just horrible to watch. Also, he’ll look bad against brawlers since he’s used to controlling a fight and avoiding exchanges. I think he’d ko any version of Whyte, but a prime Chisora and offensive minded AJ give him serious problems

    Joseph Parker.
    I like Joseph Parker as a boxer.
    He was never knocked out.
    The first one with AJ survived the fight on his feet.
    He has a solid resume considering that he is not in the top 3 heavyweights.
    Do not avoid opponents.
    We'll see what happens with Joyce.
