Thoughts ?
Top3 people have obviously in varying orders, largely based on personal bias. Outside of that though I think I agree pretty much across the board. Arguably Usyk should be higher but he’s just an unknown at heavyweight at moment
Fury at 3 with Joshua joint 1 with Wilder is laughable. Everyone knows Fury beat Wilder, but Wilder scored two knockdowns and has unreal power, so the rematch is 50-50, so I'd understand Fury being joint 1 with Wilder, but not Joshua being joint 1 with Wilder. Recently comprehensively knocked out by Andy Ruiz who nobody would give a chance against Wilder or Fury. Wilder would knock Joshua or Ruiz into next week, whilst Fury would give both a boxing lesson.
Whilst Joshua won his rematch against the Snickers man who couldn't even be bothered to train for the fight, his performance could only be described as a very poor man's Tyson Fury. I remember Lucas Browne, juiced to the grills, giving a poor man's Tyson Fury performance himself when he beat Chaguev.
There's absolutely no basis to have Joshua above Fury, or level with Wilder.
Also, he has Ortiz at 6 with expects to fall? Based on what? Yes, he's 1000 years old, but he just put on the performance of his career. Whilst Povetkin is at 7, not listed as expected to fall, despite being 999 and looking like a glass chinned, stamina free, bag of **** in his last fight?
If you want the logic behind what he said watch the video but everyone has different top3’s. my personal view is Joshua then fury then wilder. That doesn’t mean I’m right (or wrong) - it just means we have differing views.
For me - Ortiz could well fall? At the moment he hasn’t beaten anyone of value and has lost twice to Wilder. Maybe he will win some good fights and cement his place - it’s possible, but equally possible is he fades , partially due to him being 45 or whatever he is

Given we talk about top3 a lot based on these rankings:
Wilder has drawn with rank 3, beaten rank 6
Fury has drawn with rank 1 and beaten 13 twice
Joshua has beaten rank 4, 5, 7, 8, 15; and also lost to rank 5.
