    Not gonna lie I reckon a 40 year old Povetkin could chin Wilder who is terrible defensively. We all know he would have murdered him back in 2016. AJ and Fury top 2. Povetkin and Wilder could both be 3 or 4. Ruiz at 5.

    1. Fury
    2. Wilder
    3. Joshua
    4. Ortiz
    5. Parker or ruiz
    6. Povetkin
    7. Usyk
    8. Hunter
    9. Whyte
    10. Chisora/pulev

    Hrgovic/dubois/joyce hard to judge till we seen more against better opposition.

    Still think ortiz is a nighmare for the right opponent for him and wilders underrated now. I,d still fancy wilder to get joshua out of there.

    Need to see more of usyk at heavyweight. Povetkins pretty much on the wind down as is ortiz but both still dangerous.

    Pulev beat chisora but chisoras a better fighter nowadays. A lot Stronger and pulevs not fought anyone for a while.

    Don't understand all the people putting wilder in over povetkin. Povetkin just ko'd the number 2 contender. Wilder was saved from being beaten to death on the ropes in his last bout. Not only that was thrown a gift draw few months before that. Right now Povetkin is very beatable, a vulnerable number 3 for sure and maybe not the best h2h because of his age, but he earned the spot.

    The big three remain the same:

    1. Tyson Fury
    2. Deontay Wilder
    3. Anthony Joshua

    They are the only fighters who legitimately could win all the heavyweight titles.

    Throw the rest in a hat, basically.
