    Who will be "king of the heavyweights" now with Wlad on the way out?

    Fury?
    Wilder?
    Someone else besides those two?

    I have little faith in Wilder and I'm still not completely sure about Fury. Who is the top dog now with Wlad on the way down?

    Can the USA regain some of its former glory in the division now with the Klitschkos on the decline?

    appears right now Fury, Wilder, Jennings, and Joshua are the most likely future of the division.

    Yeah I like Jennings quite a bit, actually. Same with Joshua.

    Maybe one of those two will gain control of the division.

    Jennings will get KO'd by Ortiz later next month.

    Joshua will be the one to dominate for along time IMO.

    I want to see Wilder or Fury get all the belts and then fight Joshua at Wembley.

    I had forgotten about Joshua. He may be the best of the bunch.

    Fury is a huge man and has talent, but I'm still not sure if he can wear the crown for a long period of time.

    Fury has already seized the reigns, whether he keeps hold is another matter. Wlad can easily beat him in the return and Joshua is lurking. Wilder is a fraud.

    I think the person to get it off Fury soonest would be Solis, The Real King Kong. He will trade with Fury and has the stopping power to keep Fury down. Tyson Fury can be hit will exchanging. He keeps his lands away from his face most of the time, trading defense for more offensive advantages. Solis can take advantage of that with his single shot KO power, and slick head movement. (

    Joshua gets badly outboxed ala Wlad. He is even stiffer in his legs and his punches then Wlad. Maybe he pulls the trigger and gets lucky with a fight ending clip, but I think he it's either UD Fury or AJ gets lucky.

    Alex Pov, Win if in Russia, Fury will get points taken like crazy, Pov will gets inside due to holding being called... and KO win for AP. Anywhere else? UD Fury.

    In a few years I really like that Slav Uyske, he could give all of these guys fights. Very quick righthanded southpaw fighter. Knows how to fight small, may be very very hard for these taller guys to hit.

    More talking out the butt. Ortiz hasn't fought anyone. Jennings proved he has a rock solid chin, I don't see why Ortiz would knock him out.

    If it was easy, he would have done it the first time. No proof Wilder is a fraud either.

    You people just like to talk out your ***.

    Ortiz is very powerful. He's going to engage and try to get Jennings out of there. If Jennings can withstand that, he'll prolly win a decision.

    I wouldnt count out on klitschko getting back. I mean he didnt get ktfo into next week or sth. I still think there is a chance that he will be back and will be fullfilling his tv contract as a hw champion.

    But from all the otheres right now the man has to be fury since he beat the man. But hw division is in shambles right now and needs to get good competitors and fans that dont leave fighters after the magic 0 is gone.

    Povetkin seems to be the top dog in terms of resume, even if he lacks the titles etc. The winner of Teper/Helenius will have to be considered in, or around, top 5. Ortiz looks the business but he's so old and it could be a matter of time before he loses to father time.

    Top tier: Fury, Joshua, Ortiz possibly Wilder

    2nd Tier: Wlad, Povetkin, Chisora

    Whyte could also prove to belong right up there

    Teper/Helenius don't belong in the conversation

    Not Fury. Last night's fight was embarrassing, Fury won by making Wlad look bad but himself almost as bad in the process. He is feather fisted and shaky jawed.

    Wlad will probably win the title back and dominate again. One bad fight in 10yrs and he is finished? Not yet, not for me.

    Fury, Povetkin and later Joshua. Povetkin is going to KO Wilder after Wilder fights his next moonlighter in January.
