At the end of the day, no matter who you support...

all ducking arguments aside, i think this fight has shown that the heavyweight division is not for the faint of heart. for the top 12, who are tiered as such:

Fury Wilder Joshua
Whyte Ortiz Povetkin
Parker Miller Joyce
Chisora Takam Pulev

i think anyone would be in for a tough fight against any other of these guys, especially those in the top two to three tiers.

the heavyweight division is deep and is making a comeback. people just need to get these fights made.

2018 was great. here's to 2019.

I agree the division has risen from the dead

[pittapatta66]

The division ain't deep, it's just heavily promoted. None of the top 3 have shown they are better than a prime Wlad

the ability on show isnt great fury has the best boxing skills but as far as names and rivalries go its getting interesting

plus they all look vunerable

Thanks to this man. (me @22 seconds)

I think being vulnerable makes it most interesting. Having a terminator like klitchko would make the division boring.

[Kezzer]

Agreed; not so sure on Joyce but he has ability to prove himself. There are a number of others on the fringes too (but below) like Brezeale , etc

[Ray*]

They all Vulnerable. Apart from Miller who seems to be able to push 12 rounds at a good pace. I don’t see or expect any amazing from all of them. Fury once he is fully fit would be the man to beat. Right now he needs more rounds/tune ups. Hopefully we get all of them fighting each other in 2019.

Joyce doesn't belong on the same level as Parker and Miller. They are proven heavyweights ranked in everybody's top 10. Joyce has only had 7 pro fights and boxrec ranks him 36th in the world. The highest ranked heavyweight Joyce has defeated is ranked 154th by boxrec. Joyce is unproven as a pro. Maybe someday he will deserve a top 10 spot but not now.
