    What we all can agree on...

    We can probably all agree that heavyweight right now is all about these guys:
    - Wladimir Klitschko
    - Alexander Povetkin
    - Tyson Fury
    - Deontay Wilder
    - Anthony Joshua

    In my opinion, heavyweight has not been this exciting for years. Which fights among these warriors would you like to see and how would you rank them? Personally, I rank them like this based on current achievements:

    1 - Wladimir
    2 - Povekin
    3 - Wilder
    4 - Fury
    5 - Joshua

    But ranked, based on who can beat who:

    1 - Joshua
    2 - Wilder
    3 - Wladimir
    4 - Povetkin
    5 - Fury

    I can't see Wilder realistically beating any of those guys. I think Pulev beats him.

    And guys as big as Wlad don't age well.

    The other three is a toss up.

      I really think Povetkin beats the crap out of Wilder.

        I think Wilder would have trouble with Briggs, much less the guys on that list.

          Briggs wouldn't last two rounds.

            Maybe but before Povetkin fought Mike Perez he looked ordinary. A lot of people thought he lost the Huck fight.

            The thing with Wilder is that he hasn't been through many tests besides the Stiverne fight. He still has a lot of questions to answer.

              People rating Joshua too highly right now.

              I'm not saying he can't be the best heavyweight but this is a sport of very unforgiving levels, especially the heavyweight division. He hasn't fought anybody yet.

              Many guys like Joshua have been hyped and only to face a harsh reality when they step up in class. Don't forget just a few years ago David Price had the hype machine around him and was blasting through opponents until he ran into a good seasoned guy like Tony Thompson. I would expect Joshua to go on to be a good fighter and much better than price, but nobody can predict the future and right now Joshua is only at the level Price was before he fought Thompson.

                "Stiff Eurobum" Pianeta beat a younger fitter Duhaupas 8 years ago. did you have him beating every heavyweight in the world?

                No matter what Wilder does he has that fanbase behind him and they will polish his turds.

                  Yeah, Wilder still has a lot of proving (and improving) to do

                    The division has more promise than it has in a while.

                    Fury Vs Wlad and Povetkin Vs Wilder are good fights. (although i favour Povetkin pretty big in that one).

                    Fury Vs Wilder is a good fight. Then there's maybe Wlad vs Wilder.

                    I still think Stiverne is competitive with some of those guys.
                    Jennings and Ortiz can be part of interesting match ups.

                    Then there's Parker and Joshua to add to the mix soon. Joshua could even take part in big fights now i feel.

                    HW is certainly better than it has been for a while. Hopefully the right fights are made.
