There's Only 5 Good Current Heavyweights, every one else just making up the numbers!

Three of those you’ve named are confirmed dopers.

Listen, there are three elite level heavyweights who would have been champs/top contenders in any era:

1. Joshua
2. Fury
3. Wilder

Then we have a list of good contenders, who also only would have been contenders in other eras, but may pick up an ABC belt here or there:

1. Povetkin
2. Parker
3. Ortiz
4. Whyte

Then we have the rest who'll give a good fight, but never really achieve anything significant:

1. BB Miller
2. Dominic Brezeale
3. Charles Martin
4. Andy Ruiz
5. Carlos Takam

And these kind of lower level guys.

But hey, I'm loving heavyweight boxing right now. There's also a solid list of up and coming prospects!

[LacedUp]

Wait until Tyson Fury fights a real heavyweight contender before you put him on the list.

For me it's
Wilder
Joshua
Ortiz
Parker

and then a bunch of guys. I think Povetkin is shot.

Fury would probably beat everyone else right now.

I'm not fan of Povetkin with his history of PED's, but I think he might even be worse for Joshua than Wilder. More skilled with one punch power as well. All the credit to AJ if he beats those two, I'm curious about both fights.

*Also see Fury giving him fits if he's in shape. IF.

The Heavyweight Division only has FIVE GOOD HEAVYWEIGHTS.

1. DEONTAY WILDER
2. ANTHONY JOSHUA
3. TYSON FURY (If he can get back to his previous level)
4. LUIS ORTIZ
5. ALEXANDER POVETKIN

I'm not interested in any Top 10 Heavyweight outside of those Five Guys...i'd much rather see them fight each other over the next two years to find one GREAT Heavyweight then see them face any one else.

Outside of those five Heavyweights, there really is a steep decline to the also rans and never will be's.

Average Heavyweights like Joseph Parker, Dillian Whyte, Jarrell Miller, Dominic Breazeale, Charles Martin, Carlos Takam and Andy Ruiz will never be any thing unless they're lucky enough to be gifted a title like Parker and Martin were. Lets be honest, they're just making up the numbers right now and have nothing to bother that Top 5.

Thankfully, there's some really exciting young Heavyweights prospects to look forward to like Daniel Dubois, Filip Hrgovic, Oleksandr Teslenko, Nathan Gorman, Trey Lippe Morrison, Hughie Fury, Joe Joyce and Tony Yoka.

Yoka popped dirty in the olympics.

He took advantage of an olympic policy that allows you to miss three tests in a year's time; if u miss a fourth one - it's finaly considered a fail. This happeend to Yoka - not many people know about it.

Pretty much agree with your post, but I'd add Joseph Parker to the top at HW - he belongs there.

So is Vitali, didn't stop you from gagging on his **** for ages

Then why is he fighting a 39 year old cruiserweight bum with no significant wins on his secord?

Sleep on Kubrat Pulev if you want.

Fury has lost over 100 lbs in a few months and hasn't fought for 1000 days...let him have his comeback to shake off the rust and get back into the swing of things and then we can start talking after he's had three fights to get himself back to where he was in 2015.

He'll be ready to face Wilder and Joshua in 2019, not before then.

Its a tough fight for Johnson but he's got a good uppercut if Povektkin gets close.

I think this was always the plan. Parker similar size, less dangerous and worked it long in preparation for Povetkin.

He might look to go Klitschko route but want to get him out of there if he rocks him.

Depends if aj fails to finish him & gasses again as Povetkin will still be there. Russians are durable

But think he'll play it safe like Parker fight

He doesn't land a glove on a fit Fury

If he beats either he deserves credit, both & he's silenced most.
