Who is the 2nd Best Heavyweight in the World

Or maybe they just think that Wilder would beat Povetkin. Nothing assumes for me that he wouldn't. 60-40 in favour of Wilder imo In what world is Wilder favourite to beat Povetkin? Wilder could well beat him, but we have no idea because he has fought literally one fighter of note. Povetkin has a much deeper resume and should be the favourite at the this point in time.

lol bs should stick to welterweight people voting jennings/wilder as better than povetkin... clearly they don't follow the division at all... wilder has done very little of note other than 1 fight Or maybe they just think that Wilder would beat Povetkin. Nothing assumes for me that he wouldn't. 60-40 in favour of Wilder imo

My top 5 after wlad: Povetkin Fury Wilder Jennings Perez

One thing for sure, these are the best three heavyweights after Klitschko.

Povetkin, I have no doubt about it.

heavyweight should change the name to super-cruiserweight

I did say it's close between Wilder and Fury. Which one of Povetkin's wins is better than the Stiverne win for Wilder? Charr? Takam? LOL Ancient Rahman? A cruiserweight who in actuality won their bout? The deciding factor is that Wilder is actually a champion, Povetkin is not. Fury and Povetkin for that 3rd place may be up for debate but then Fury is better in his all round game imo. A more fluid fighter with quicker hands and better footwork. Noway is Povetkin no. 2. Thing is though, its not close between Fury and Wilder Wilder literally only has his Stiverne win, who himself was only hyped up a lot because of the WBC title he held, he won the title from a rematch with Chris Arreola.... Looking at records, how can you compare him to pretty savage wins of Charr, Takam and Chagaev? Sure, Charr and Takam really don't appear to be any better than Stiverne, but Stiverne is literally the only mentionable name on Wilders resume. I think you're falling for the promoters trick again, being the WBC titleholder doesn't necessarily mean anything at all. I've already showed you the lineage of that title. So you need to explain the bolded assumption above. I honestly can't understand why you assume this matters

Povetkin easily. Dudes got this Broner syndrome. "Wlad beating Povetkin is like Wilder and Fury beating Povetkin"

I have no problem with your opinion. This will just make it harder for you to downplay Wlad's victory over Fury once that fight is over with. You may attempt a different angle by calling guys like me out, who have been downplaying Fury's abilities from the get-go, therefore asking why Wlad should get any credit if I didn't think much of Fury to begin with. To which I say, FINE. I don't defend Wlad from a "How many ATG or HOF-ers has he beat" standpoint anymore. It's pointless and tiring. It's a numbers game and it has to be at 64 total wins and running, with 18 Title defenses. There are not many Heavyweight around in the modern 2 or 3 fights per year era that are gonna get to 64 career wins. Not even in the lower divisions unless you're brought up in the Mexican circuit like Chavez Jr and Canelo. All i'm saying is (and this is my prediction) that this will be a whitewash. Don't let tonights fight influence your thinking on what will happen against a supposedly better fighter in Fury. As dominant as Wlad was, he can't have a perfect night each and every time. But there is nothing to learn from this. Why would i downplay his victory? Fighting and beating Fury would be one of Wlad's best wins imo. Honestly. There are not many people on Wlad's entire resume I'd be dead certain on beating Fury. There are a couple maybe, but not more than 2-3 at most. I mean, BY Jennings was a 14-0 underdog who never looked impressive in any fight ever, really. hellacious cherrypick from Wlad made to make him look good on HBO which massively backfired. I don't care if it was a whitewash, which it won't be. As long as both men are standing, it would be competitive - you can believe that. Wlad is clearly not the same as he was previously. That is clear and it's not just from this fight. In his last fight he did a stanky leg from jab ffs. I did say maybe it just wasn't his night. But we've been saying that a lot lately with Wlad I think.

How does a belt make you the 2nd best hw? Lets take a look at that belts recent lineage Arreola/Stiverne>Stiverne/Wilder.... LOL Thats a very casual fan-like way of thinking there, im sorry pal Going by actual achievements (i.e. Wins) youd probably have to go Povetkin-Fury-possibly Wilder If i take Wilder just because of the belt, im falling for the hype the promoters want me to 'The Heavyweight Champion of the World'. But in reality, that belt (the Stiverne win) puts him at im the top 5 I did say it's close between Wilder and Fury. Which one of Povetkin's wins is better than the Stiverne win for Wilder? Charr? Takam? LOL Ancient Rahman? A cruiserweight who in actuality won their bout? The deciding factor is that Wilder is actually a champion, Povetkin is not.

Im going Povetkin until proven otherwise. I'd love to see Povetkin vs Wilder/Fury at some point before they took on Klitschko. Doubt either risk their position by taking the fight though, and Povetkin has huge financial backing to take either of them away to Russia

Gotta be Wilder cos of that WBC strap but Fury is a close 3rd. How does a belt make you the 2nd best hw? Lets take a look at that belts recent lineage Arreola/Stiverne>Stiverne/Wilder....

It's Tyson Fury. Leaving him out of the poll is just childish.

Tyson Fury is a joke. Why do people buy into that hype? He is a freakshow. Without his loud mouth, nobody would ever pay him any attention. I still only remember him for uppercutting himself in the face.

Gotta be Wilder cos of that WBC strap but Fury is a close 3rd.

I can't vote for none of the options that this English hating Irishman has given us.

I have Wilder as the second.

We all know it's Povetkin. Pulev is better than the other 2 choices also.

wlad should have been dq'd against povetkin and jennings so first is between them. i would say povetkin first, jennings second, and fury third. wlad maybe 4th but he needs a good legit win to get back on top.
