    Who is your favorite heavyweight and why?

    I know most will probably answer Joshua, Fury or Wilder, but for me it's Big Baby Miller. Always talking smack and eating cheeseburgers. Had to come up the hard way with a small time promoter who didn't have political connections. You often see Don King, Bob Arum, Al Haymon type fighters being carefully positioned for title shots without ever facing anybody of consequence first. Miller's last nine opponents have a combined record of 217-23.

    I expect Joshua to beat Miller, but I think he'll turn it into a fun fight and I'd love to see him win. Would turn the heavyweight division upside down.

    Joe Juggernaut Joyce.

    I don't know exactly ,he reminds me of those old fashion horror movies like frankenstien or some giant robot someone is controlling outside the ring like that old Twilight Zone episode about the boxer whos a robot. , but then you see him in interviews and its almost like he hates hurting someone until they're signed to fight him. Im hooked as soon as the bell rings, guy doesn't stop bombarding until they drop and gives the best interviews .

      I have no interest in HW boxing but if I must choose one, I guess Tyson Fury. At least he can Box and he strikes me a true student of the game. What impresses me the most is the fact that 6’9” giant can move and box the way he does. That is special.

        I know what you mean. I like watching Joyce a lot. Curious to see how far he can get considering how slow he is. Style wise, Charr is the perfect opponent if he's going to try to get a world title.

          Me too. I agree with all of the above. Plus, he's pretty slick. That's my favorite style of boxing.

            I like Wilder best, maybe because he CAN’T box. His footwork is supernaturally terrible. He’s a mess. But he fights. He brings the excitement of a one punch KO. Not a stoppage, but a sleepage. He’s going to kill somebody.

            But he’s soon about to get old, and his skills have no upside. He’s all crazy-young-man. That’s ending.

            Fury, I admire his skills, sure, but he’s an absolute head case and (worse) a proven cheater.

            Joshua is a ducker.

            As for everyone else at HW, they don’t matter in terms of being competitive at the top. They ain’t.

              I prefer Tyson Fury because he is a slick, high ring IQ boxer who is a student of the game and will fight anyone, anywhere. We have never seen a HW move like a slick welter or Middleweight. This is why I call him Sweet Pea in Goliath body.

                Fury is fascinating and I enjoyed following his career while he waited for his title shot. I was so happy when he ended up beating Klitschko. When he ducked the rematch though, I lost a lot of respect for him. He won my respect back when he climbed out of the depths of hell and made a return, but him ducking the Wilder rematch makes it harder to support him. I'm sure he's making the smart business decision, but I really wanted to see a rematch.

                Maybe with Top Rank he can get his hands on a world title and eventually unify. Who knows. It's depressing being a boxing fans sometimes when all the best fighters are spread across different stables and don't fight each other.
