    Boxing moves super fast and a lot changes in even a year. I'll take a stab.

    1. Joshua (I think he will lose a fight but come back on top by 2021)
    2. Usyk (Will make his mark on the division next year)
    3. Hrgovic (He's the best of the new heavyweights imo, 3 year time scale fits nicely for him, will be looking to fight for #1 at this point)
    4. Wilder (Will lose a fight getting badly out boxed at least once, but his hard work and dedication keeps him around top echelon)
    5. Joyce (The juggernaut will knock off a big name, (someone like Whyte) before losing to Usyk.

    I think Fury will be a retired, fat, coke addict by then regardless of Wilder result. Povetkin will be retired, Parker wont amount to anything and Whyte scrapping top 10. Tony Yoka wont make it and it will still be too early for Dubois.

    1. Joshua
    2. Sirenko (Undefeated leading up to the Joshua fight)
    3. Dubois ( may have a loss but maintains a top 3 spot.
    4. Joyce ( if he stays around could still be a big problem for all top guys.
    5. Gorman ( I think this guy will be very tough to beat also may have a loss? within 3 years should be a top 5 guy.

    Will have to come back here 3 years from now!

    1) Hrgovic
    2) Joshua
    3) Tyson Fury
    4) Oleksander Usyk
    5) Joseph Parker

    A lot of current players (Wilder, Povetkin, Ortiz) age and style will be fading by then, others (Parker - who I may be getting too hopeful with, but feel the best is yet to come, Anthony Joshua) will be getting into their peak, I throw Hrgovic in there for lulz because he may or may not prove to be a huge problem to the top guys, Usyk is hard to pick with the SHWs, and Fury is always going to be annoying while he's active.

    I put all over about 30 seconds of thought into that, SO MUCH is likely to change so I just thought I'd spit out the first thing which comes to mind and don't feel too strongly about it :) Conversation's sake, right?

    I foresee a long overdue return of the classic HW, the era of Euro-bot domination is coming to an end.

    In no particular order:

    Tony Bellew
    Canelo Alvarez
    Shawn Porter
    El Tel Crawford
    Marcellos Wilder

    1.Hrgovic
    2.Tyson Fury (if he will be active and serious)
    3.Joshua
    4.Tony Yoka (if he will have the chance[don't know what is happening with his disqualification])
    5.Arslanbek Makhmudov or Usyk(Usyk will have problems with big guys, 10-15kg more than him and bigger reach)
    Tishchenko can be top fighter only if he will gain more kilos.Others that can be in that list:Joyce, Jalolov, Dinu, Dubois, Ajagba, Dychko.

    This is such hard questionn but I think you nailed it with the exception of Tyson Fury. There’s a 50 percent chance you’re right about him, but if you’re not I’d throw him in over Wilder, who I think would still be rebuilding after a loss by devouring the quickly fading current top ten.

    Tischenko will be a HW version of Mekhontsev and Korobov. He just doesn't have the heart and hunger for pro game.
