Your take on this heavyweight era

[The D3vil]

I think sometimes boxing fans can get too caught up in trying to determine "historical rankings" to just relax and enjoy what they're watching.

Fury, Joshua, Wilder, Ruiz, Whyte, Ortiz, Parker, etc. . . are all flawed as hell, but they can for some extremely fun matchups and that's the first time we can say that about boxing in a long time.

If any of those 7 guys were fighting each other (and even put Big Baby & Kownacki in there), I'm watching and am expecting a good fight.

But I agree with deathofaclown, that Fury is the top guy right now and he is the guy that has the most potential to be historically great,

Wilder's not just an all-time great puncher, he's an all-time great athlete, as we've never seen a guy as tall as he is move the way he does. He moves like Kevin Durant or some basketball athlete, rather than somebody like Anthony Joshua, who's stiff as hell or Tyson Fury, who's more slick than fast.

There's about 50 potentially great fights to be made in this division.

Let's just hope that promoters don't stand in the way.

It’s Fury’s era but Wilder is right there in the sense you have to give him a genuine chance to beat anyone due to the power

Those two stand alone right now. I’m not going to talk about the likes of Uysk moving up because he hasn’t fought yet. I think he has talent to be a big player but think someone like Fury is too big for him and can pretty much match him for skill.

Fury is the man though and people will realise it if they don’t already. You can’t keep that talent down. He is the man that beat the dominant champ and took over. Then he come back after 3 years and in most peoples eyes beat the most dangerous guy of the new era.

Fury is no fluke, he is the real deal but some people can’t handle it. I think time will prove that Fury is the man.

Joshua will go down as a heavyweight that become a world champ and had a little run and it ended. If you take his mass popularity out of the equation, then in the future his actual boxing career in the ring will probably be remembered as nothing special, just a kind of Bruno, Valuev, Haye, Samuel Peter kind of thing. It’s just his popularity make people see him differently.

I agree with most of this. You have a good perspective.

Its definitely the most interesting the HW division has been since the 90's. And we got some interesting guys on the rise who could make it even better potentially.

Very good era and I think more upsets will happen. Even if Fury becomes undisputed I don’t think he’ll ‘dominate’ in the sense of reigning for years because he doesn’t seem like someone who stays dedicated. He’d either retire or go out of shape again and lose imo.

LOL yea thats what I'm worried about for the guy. I think the worse thing that might could happen for Fury is he's the #1 guy again. It seems like he's got a better thought process going on presently, but who knows how solid that really is.

It’s good. It’s taking over majority of the threads ain’t it. Lol

Joshua did not destroy Klitschko.

Klitschko almost knocked him out and it was an even fight until the ref prematurely stopped it.

False, at the end of the Day, Joshua K.Od Klitshcko

And that upper of Joshua was brutal, the head of Klitshcko was on the sky

Thats the reality. fury never beat any elite fighter clearly

[Worick]

Lol its ****in trash

OVERRATED! All are beatable and all will suffer multiple defeats, AJ is just the first but Wilder will lose as will Fury.

With Fury, he is the most Skilled of the Heavyweights that is not even questionable but can Fury stay out of his own way or does he loses control again. This is something his own wife has said she is concerned about repeatedly. I really hope he is able to stay in control and not fall off the wagon again.

I just think because so many people thought the Klitschko ERA was so Boring, people Gravitated to AJ and Wilder because they wasn't the Klitschko's. They did not Gravitate to Fury right after he beat Wlad because that fight was AWFUL!

You got two elites, you got two A levels and the rest are uber driver bin man level failures.

elites:
- Fury
- Wilder

A level:
- Ruiz
- Ortiz

All others: uber driver bin man failures.
