Which current Heavyweight champion is most legitimate?

[Shinkyokushin92]

Joshua became IBF champion against Charles Martin (a nobody). Martin won it in a vacant title fight against Vyacheslav Glaskov who isn’t even a real heavyweight. He won the title because Glaskov twisted his ankle.

Wilder won the title from Bermaine Stiverne who at the time was a solid fighter (not elite). Stiverne won a vacant title against Areola (a solid gatekeeper).

Parker won his vacant title against Ruiz in a competitive fight. Ruiz isn’t much of a name but definitely a better fighter than Charles Martin.

well, I'm hoping we find out this year, since we have four undefeated heavyweight champions.

Parker is irrelevant. The WBO heavyweight title has never been considered equal to the others.

Wilder has the most prestigious belt, but Joshua has the WBA and the IBF, so you have to consider him the most legitimate heavyweight champion.

1 .Bermane Stiverne is a 13 year pro short 6'2 HW with no foot work and one way to fight thats come forward . His best win is a shot Arreloa 2x . Stiverne compiled 29 fights under King to as padded record as you will find .


2. Ruiz is a 6'1 overweight heavy footed counter puncher his nick name is the "Destroyer " but he hasnt destroyed anyone . His best win is Liakhovich by UD who had 3 straight losses and 1 win against an unknown before fighting Ruiz . Ruiz is known as a K.O puncher but against who ? He hasnt fought since Parker last year either.


3. Charles Martin is a 6'5 250 pound southpaw who LEGITAMATLEY look like he can punch . He has 23 stoppages in 27 fights and has 2 wins after Joshua . His best win is Glaskov who was undefeated who he was walking down before Glaskov twisted his knee? Hes ranked 7 in the WBC and his only loss was to the best fighter .


Not much probably seperates these guys right now but my money would be on the far bigger southpaw who has decent HW experience at 27 fights and he simply has more to work with than th other two who are not exactly made for a HW division .


It doesnt really matter who won a belt from who ,its whos fighting the best . Belts CANNOT make the fighter its the other way around despite what some WISH to believe .

The REAL HW title fight was Klitchko vs Joshua ,end of .


Answer is Joshua and its not even close .

Probably AJ due to his having 2 belts although Wilder's is the most prestigious.

Hahahaha you're crazy if you believe Parker has a more legitimate claim than Wilder to being the heavyweight champion of the world.

Wilder has the most prestigious belt. Held by all the greats. Parker has the least prestigious belt.

Wilder won a landslide against a reigning champion, ranked #2 or #3 in all the top independent rankings at the time. Parker won a vacant title against an unranked opponent.

Wilder has headlined on network TV in the most lucrative boxing market in the world, with millions watching. Parker's defenses have been untelevised. It's a joke claiming that the world recognizes Parker's belt as a real world heavyweight championship.

Parker has a better resume.

Get lost.
