    Three years isn't that long really, your talking around 6 fights for the top level heavies.

    Joshua - even if he loses he'll remain tip five, he's unlikely to get matched where he gets blew out several times.

    Wilder - similar to Joshua he should hang in there for a few more years even if he suffers defeat.

    Usyk - by the looks of it, he's gonna be built for Joshua for around 2020 so minus an upset he's probably only gonna lose to Joshua in that time, should be able to secure top five status.

    Hrgovic - think he may get a couple of contender fights by this time and be around d the top five but yet to fight a top guy.

    Kabayel - think he'll be moved slowly into a contender position but won't fight any of the big guns by this point but be in like a mandatory status awaiting with some solid wins.

    Fury is a real wildcard because he's got the talent to be there but I still dunno where he's at, if he's gonna get it back and the Wilder fight could be disastrous if he's timed it wrong. Hughie Fury may force a mandatory if he beats Pulev, Joshua beats him and he gets a slow rebuild.

    Don't think Dubois, Gorman, Tishenko, Kuzmin, Yoka etc will have been positioned to move high enough in that time. Joyce, I'm not to sure, he's needs a fast track to world level but not sure if he's quite there in three years.
