    Whats your top 3 current heavyweights and why?

    1. Alexander Povetkin. He is the man in the boxing right now, nobody wants to fight him. He is the most skillful inside fighter there. The dude is 37 and feels like 20 and really lets his hands go. What a warrior!

    2. Tyson Fury. He is real fighting man who doesn't care what people think of him. He talks the real raw truths and isn't quiet puppet. Understands the sweet science, can box both orthodox and southpaw, have nice movement for a big guy.

    3. Luis Ortiz. Skilled cuban southpaw who has the best overall skills. Nobody wants no part of this guy. Also big puncher when gets inside, this guy would definetly knock Joshua and Wilders head off!

    For me:

    Parker
    Klitschko (don't look Dino and Herol :lol:)
    Fury

    If Usyk ever moves up then he jumps onto the list.

    Joshua - Hes a fellow Brit, a knock out artist and is attempting to establish himself as the dominant force in the heavyweight division.

    Fury - Very entertaining, a fellow Brit, and is a very skillful fighter even though he makes it look ugly as hell. His pressers and other interviews are about as interesting as they come. A win over Vladimir can not be ignored. Nobody else in the division can do it like he did it.

    Wilder - Again very entertaining, his wild style may well be full of alarming weaknesses but he is exciting to watch and
    is looking for the KO from the 1st bell until it ends.

    These are my favourites, not saying i see these as the best 3, just my favourite 3.

    Klitscko-for as long as he's relevant

    Parker-kids got yrs to improve vs styles, yet has handled several of the tougher styles already. and against top 10 opposition.

    Joshua- havent seen him tested, but vs guys like Whyte(DelBoy) and Molina(Arreola), he'll bowl em over just as fast as they can line em up.

    If he beats a functional Wladimir, and in better fashion than Fury, Joshua is easily the best HW in boxing, including Fury.

    Shout out to Duhaupas, Mansour and Chisora. You don't always need to be top of the tree to be worth watching.

    Parker, he's my #3 but that doesn't mean he'll ever belong in the ring with my top 2
