    I think he'll come back, he's lost far too much weight to think he won't. If he had no intention of returning he'd still be 400lbs, snorting coke and eating chocolate dipped hedgehogs for snacks.

    How he looks on his return is anyone's guess though.

    Credit where it's due, he has lost a lot of weight.

    But there's no denying he will need tune-ups and then still may not be the same as before (gets over rated on here though).

    And that's why both Hearn and AJ want him when he comes back straight away.

    makes the most money too, along with the "lineal" up for grabs.

    True but I hope Fury doesn't take the bait and has at least two fights before going for AJ.

    I honestly think with the state of the division he could jump straight in and beat your Whytes, your Millers right now.

    Wilder is better puncher than most of top 10, but against top 50 boxers[Washington&Szpilka] he shows lack ot technique.I can't put him on the top 4, because Wilder doesn't had opposiotion like other top 4 HWs.That's why i'll exclude him from my top 10, don't want to hurt feelings of his fans placing him not in the top of the top.
    Whyte loss to Chisora.For me he is not top 10.Close to top 10, but not in.Absolutely don't understand how can some of u put Whyte over Pulev or Povetkin.The same with Breazeale.

    0.Fury :) If he will be back in the form he was against Klitshcko, Joshua has no chances, but i think it would be hard for him to get soon that form back
    1.Joshua
    2.Povetkin
    3.Pulev
    4.Parker
    5.Junlong Zhang
    6.Zhilei Zhang (also very good amateur career)
    7.Andy Ruiz Jr
    8.Sergey Kuzmin (good amateur, beat Joyce, Dychko, Joshua[judges scored different]).Was better than Mansour( who knocked down in 3 round Breazeale and take clearly 4 from 5 rounds against Breazeale untill get injured before 6th round).
    9.Adam Kownacki
    10.Jarrell Miller

    [2] Wilder
    [3] Parker
    [4/5/6] Povetkin,Pulev,Ortiz
    [7] Whyte
    After this who cares? Complete lack of talent. CST80 hit the nail on the head. and those listed above aren't even anything special.
    [8] Breezey
    [9] Miller or Ruiz

    Yeah upon reflection I think Jennings has the best case for the last spot if I rank solely on resume, with wins over undefeated Perez and Szpilka. Takam is a good shout having decent performances in losses against top five opposition, and should have taken Perez's zero were it not for an iffy decision. Ruiz probably has the weakest resume of the three in all honesty (is shot Liakhovic still his best win?), I just put him in there because he's the only fighter of the three whose career has any kind of upward trajectory.
