    That's a very valid point, I always think Wilder would do better H2H than his skills and resume would indicate just because of the freakish power but I guess he hasn't really cracked a grade A chin, although it's still chilling the way B rate chins seem to explode when he hits them

    How so? He took maybe 2 lefts in 12 rounds, fantastic defence, also McKean hugged him whole fight and he absorbed at leats 10 rights from Hrgovic. Now the question is - does McKean have steel chin or is Hrgovic weak.

    Fury followed by Usyk

    Neither of them are unbeatable. If they fought 2-3x a year exclusively against top 10-15 level opposition they probably would have already both lost by now.

    Fury has stated that he will not fight Usyk.

    Zhang.

    It's usually a british hw but Zhang took the crown for most overrated from Joyce.

    Still Wilder for me.

    Would be exposed many times over if he fought more top 10 names.

    Joyce
    Chisora
    Whyte
    Dubious

    It's hard to split all these hyped 'brands' engineered in the UK. People tend to forget Chisora was the next big thing until his losses racked up and his brand got converted into underdog gatekeeper who comes to fight or whatever.

    Having said that they've all given us some enjoyable moments.

    Chisora (still a favourite for some in that fight) getting beaten like a child by Fury in the rematch.
    Whyte getting KO'd by that beautiful uppercut from shot Povetkin.
    Joyce the unbreakable getting TKO'd by a 40 year old.
    Dubious quitting twice, the second time to a smaller average-power cruiserweight on a jab.

    Special mention, Big Joshie, better than these other brands, but still a quitter and actually more of a POS if that's possible.

    Wilder by a country mile. To date, he has only proven that he is a little better than Ortiz.

    Usyk, he was champion in the weakest cruiserweight division ever, and in an unimpressive way he became champion in the heavyweight division, he is the poor man's Muhammad Ali...

    All of them busters is overrated. Fury is the best boxer out of all of them. If he respected himself and boxing he would rate as a great heavyweight.
