        Nah he lost all the hype after Takam fight. Struggled against an over hyped opponent who wasn't even in the top 15

          How was Takam overhyped? Everyone knew he was a tough opponent who'd likely give Parker his first real test. He was also, in many people's eyes, a bonafide top ten guy, whatever the boxrec rankings might have said at the time.

          The win actually helped legitimize Parker's standing in the division. That's why people aren't voting for him.

            Joshua is by far the clear winner here. You have people hailing him as the best fighter in the division, a future ATG, the most skilled heavyweight in the last thirty years. He has multi-million pound endorsement deals, huge media support, and a rabid casual following. And based on what? Certainly from nothing he's done in the ring, unless knocking out a string of no-hopers counts as some incredible achievement these days. He might well turn out to be a great fighter, but there's no doubt that he's being insanely overhyped at this present moment in time.

            Ortiz might be a little overhyped by more hardcore fans, but he's hardly known by the casuals. That eliminated him from the poll.

              Toss up between Joshua and Wilder... went with Wilder because he simply can't box. Joshua has the most hype but he looks the part a lot more than Wilder does.

                    Joshua quite easily. He might very well live up to it, but the hype at the moment is ridiculous.

                      Nah, it was a close, hard fought contest which the right man won. They sometimes happen.
