    Rating the british heavyweights

    1. Tyson Fury

    He's not pretty, but he gets the job done..... so far.

    Poor conditioning, unfocused mentality and a dodgy chin means he will only go so far

    2. Dereck Chisora

    A solid gatekeeper to true world level, Chisora may even pick up a strap if he gets lucky, but he's no great

    3. Anthony Joshua

    Too bulky, stiff, probably got a glass chin, he doesn't hit hard enough for his style, the poor mans deontay

        The gap is so far between Tyson Fury and anyone else it's not even worth making a list.

          Tyson "Too Fast" Fury is in a league of his own.

            David Price is better than Joshua c'mon now... I like Joshua as a future champ, but right now, if he were to fight David Price he would get knocked out.

                Right now it has to be Chisora. I bet Chisora knocks out Fury this time around. Joshua will no doubt be the best British heavyweight in a year or two. I like Joshua because he fights as if he's a middleweight. He knows his job is to fight and not pose like a big man like so many of these heavyweights.

                  1. Anthony Joshua

                  clearly the most talented heavyweight in the UK, needs at least 18 months of fighting journeymen, then he can take on contenders


                  2. Hughie Fury

                  has excellent potential - very young at 19 and needs several years of fighting journeymen before he reaches his prime


                  3. Tyson Fury

                  will do well against journeymen, but will lose to bona-fide top HWs


                  4. Dereck Chisora

                  has lost to age 41 Vitali, was KOed by Haye - like Tyson Fury, he'll always lose to top HWs.


                  5. David Price

                  still has potential, but getting older now - his progress was damaged by Maloney not getting him enough rounds during the past 5 years

                    Active heavies that seems right. I might have Price above Joshua due to experience.
