    Heavyweight Champions since Klitschko retired…

    I don’t consider interim or regular champions world champions. Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Parker, Ruiz & Usyk are all I can think of. None of them have fought at least 2 of the others in their careers up to this point except Parker for whatever reasons. It is a shame. This era could have been so much better.

    Chisora & Whyte have each fought 3 of them.

    The only real post-Wlad champions are Fury, AJ, Wilder and Usyk

    I don't class Parker and Ruiz as champions, just belt-holders

      Joshua fought 3 of them across 5 fights.

        You left out Charles Martin. So ...

        AJ has fought 4 other title holders: Martin, Parker, Ruiz x2, Usyk x2.

        Ruiz and Parker have fought 2 other champs: Each other and AJ.

        Usyk, Fury, Wilder and Martin have all fought only one other title holder.

          But Fury is the one who took Wlad's belts, so he gets the added credit for that

          But yeah, more of these guys need to be fighting each other. Especially with the unpredictably of heavyweight boxing, it could have produced some unexpected results

            Youse guys, in the order they won their titles:

            Bermane - def Nips - WBC
            Deontay - def Stiverne - WBC
            Tyson - def Klitschko - WBA/O/IBF
            Charles - def Glaz - IBF
            Anthony - def Martin - IBF
            Joe - def Ruiz - WBO
            Andy - def Joshua - WBA/O/IBF
            Oleks - def Joshua - WBA/O/IBF


            I get dude said post Klitschko and kind of meant Wlad, but then he lists Wilder and Wilder was a champion during Wlad so I listed the other champion during Wlad after Vitali.

              In fairness to Usyk, he's only been at HW for a cup of coffee.
