    I'd favor right now:

    Wilder
    Ortiz
    Povetkin

    Future? Not yet sold on Joshua, would not match him with Fury in 2016, but he's developing fast.

      People don't want to hear this, which is understandable, but...

      ...Wilder beats Fury.

      If the fight happens, I'll take all bets. Wilder wins this one.

        Ortiz has the best chance imo.

          Intersting to wonder how long fury will reign for...I can't see Joshua being the guy to swoop in, it is still too soon for him to go for that.

          Haye will probably try and kick up some fuss after his comeback fight, which if he wins and looks good will probably get some backing with some fans, but Haye seriously does not deserve that shot so I doubt that too.

          Wilder vs Fury is interesting...total clean sweep of the heavyweight titles but I am really not sure on Wilder having the beating of Fury to be honest.

          Stranger things have happened in the sport of boxing than Wladimir winning them all back in the rematch but unless he adresses the issues he displayed last night then that isn't going to happen either.

          If Fury defends them all in the rematch, then we can start having a better idea at who will actually be around to potentially beat him but for now it is pretty hard to tell.

            Just a guess.
            Yea I'd throw some money on Joshua right now. Think Joshua still gots a lot to prove & Tyson gots more to prove vs these other top guys, but if they both are as good as I feel they are I think 2017 is gonna be when Tyson has his Wladimir last night moment.

            I think Wilder is too raw to beat Fury. Povetkin seems mad overrated to me by some people & I think he'll come up short. No one high level is screaming out to me as a threat besides those two right now, but maybe for Fury one of his biggest issues with be fighting those w/e guys he may not take as seriously as the fight last night as I've often felt Tyson is one of those types of cats who fight to the level of his competition, but who knows.

              Skills ? All I saw last night and in previous fights was a slow flat foot monster relying on reach, weight and height advantage to reach his goals...

                  Povetkin can, though I don't know if the fights happen anytime soon.

                    Povetkin has the best chance, in my opinion. I haven't really been impressed with Wilder after he beat Stiverne

                      Wlad might get a rematch. So in that case I'd give Fury the slight edge in beating him again. I think Fury has every right to tell Haye to **** off. He really screwed him over backing out of the fight.

                      Wilder would be an interesting fight. I say let Fury rematch Wlad or get soft defense early next year, like Briggs! Then have Wilder vs Fury next. Imo Fury beats him.
                      Povetkin and Hayes are the only ones with a chance I think.
