    the best boxer is the boxer most likely to beat the other boxers. stop being silly. the p4p #1 is the boxer dominating his weight class the most, but the #1 boxer is the boxer who would beat the other boxers. obviously. do you not know what words mean?
    What does tennis have to do with this? 😂😂 That comparison makes no sense. We'll just agree to disagree bro. This is getting stupid now.

      HW division is the only division in boxing where being the top guy and undisputed champ brings you automatic prestige and attention from the mainstream. No other division is like that. Find me someone who is not a boxing fan who cares about who the champ of say middleweight or welterweight division is. Unless that particular boxer is some big mainstream name no one cares. Yet many sports fans care enough to check who the HW champ is. Everybody knew who Klitschko was and now everybody knows who Joshua is and if Wilder somehow beats Joshua then everybody will know who he is as well. It's not because of their personality but simply because of them being HW champs.

      HW division has the continuity with the legendary champs of old going all the way back to Dempsey, Louis and Marciano to Ali and Tyson, the most known boxers ever. The HW undisputed champ is inevitably going to be compared to these greats and mentioned together with them.

      If they told you you will be a great boxer in your next life, you just need to choose your division... The vast majoritiy of people would want to be heavyweights. Even guys like Floyd would probably prefer to be born as heavyweights.
      The heavyweight division is generally regarded by most people as the most prestigious division in boxing. But there is no most prestigious division in boxing. It's purely a person's preference. I personally find the Welterweight division to be the most prestigious due to numerous factors such as: the
      fighter generally regarded as the greatest ever Sugar Ray Robinson fought a significant portion of his career at WW, the biggest ever fight, financially, (May-Pac) took place at welter. Numerous ATG fighters have fought at Welterweight including SRR, SRL, Hearns, Armstrong, Griffith, Floyd, Pac etc. But hey that's just my personal preference. And additionally you talk as if the the HW champ is always the the most renowned fighter in the sport, which is completely untrue. Take the late 70's to early 80's for example Larry Holmes was a dominant undisputed champion, but he was nowhere near as popular as Sugar Ray Leonard. And all throughout the last 10-15 years guys like ODLH, Floyd and Pacquiao were all way bigger names than any of the heavyweight's.

        People have a this exaggerated perception that AJ is a way bigger global superstar than he actually is. He only done 659k live viewers fighting Klitschko on Showtime and it wasn't even PPV. Canelo-GGG did 1.3m PPV buys at $80 a pop. AJ is huge in the U.K. but that's about it. Get real people.

          There is no agreeing to disagree. This got stupid the second you suggested that the person who would lose is better than the person that would win.

          Two people box, whoever wins is better at boxing. To suggest that the winner of Joshua-Wilder wouldn't have earned the distinction as champion of boxing is ludicrous.

          Chess as a women's champion, a junior champion, etc but the champion of chess is the champion of the unlimited division.

          Boxing deciding who the the best boxer under a certain weight doesn't change that the champion of boxing at any weight is the champion of boxing.

              What a ridiculous comparison, AJ v Wlad would have aired in U.S in the middle of the afternoon and GGG - Canelo would have been prime time - obviously that would have a major impact on the figures. 659k households watched that fight in the middle of the afternoon, that's pretty decent if you ask me.Any idea how many t.v networks around the world showed AJ v Wlad?. A.J is the most Globally recognised active boxing star in the world today bar none!

                Absolutely mental statement, Fury Klitschko peaked at 1.7m and that was on at exactly the same time. Plus the people were actually paying to watch Canelo you moron. Canelo-GGG was PPV in the US, UK, Canada etc. AJ-Wlad was only big box office in the U.K. There are NO Facts to suggest that AJ is a bigger star/draw than a guy like Canelo. "Stay Humble".

                  With fights GGG-Canelo 2, AJ-Wilder and a 4 belt cruiserweight unification looking possible for 2018. What single fight would fight fans like too see happen next year?
                  My personal preference would be Naoya Inoue moving up to 118 lb's to challenge WBC champ Luis Nery.
                  Canelo vs. GGG 2
                  Lomachenko vs. Mikey Garcia
                  Lomachenko vs. Berchelt
                  Any combination of Spence/Thurman/Garcia/Porter/Crawford
                  Crawford vs. Broner
                  Mikey Garcia vs. Jorge Linares
                  Carl Frampton vs. Abner Mares
                  Sor Rungvisai vs. Estrada
                  Wilder vs. Joshua
                  David Benevidez vs. Gilberto Rameriez
                  Danny Jacobs vs. Jermall Charlo
                  Sergei Kovalev vs. Adonis Stevenson

                    Tennis now chess, I'm done with your BS. You clearly have a lack of understanding as to how you actually judge who is the best fighter in the world. But your entitled to your opinion. This is my last response - I'm done here.
