Joshua. Hugely dismissed on the back of a freak loss but otherwise hasn't done anything wrong. Best resume among current active hws.
Whyte: only beaten by the best and has v strong resume.
Fury: has only one notable win - Wlad. Guilty of fighting to the level of his opposition- has a loss against McDermott and has gotten out of jail against mediocrity. There is more evidence to indicate that he is a good fighter who had one great night than to say he is a great who had some off nights.
Don't put too much stock in his Wilder win, Wilder is massively hyped.
Dubois. I really shouldn't as he is largely untested but with my expert eye I am confident that the next 24 months will prove that I am right.
Joseph Parker. Very good all rounder who has given a good account of himself at the highest levels. Cant be overlooked.
Usyk: can compete in the big division but will likely come unstuck against the top 3 or 4. Skill and bottle - he's one to be reckoned with.
Povetkin. Former beltholder is always a handful. Whyte is very good but he's grabbed a Tiger by the tail here.
Wilder: not really a boxer, but the one trick pony has a pretty neat trick. Not everyone will be able to take his punches like Fury did, so he's always a threat. Needs to improve his feet and other fundamentals, but is he able to? Gatekeeper role can be his after he loses to Fury a third time.
Honorable mentions. Ajagba, raw but potential for improvement. Hunter, good but not quite there yet.
Ruiz: depends how fat and / or serious he takes it. Ortiz: problem southpaw, but his slow tempo diminishes his game, could be age. Pulev: see Hunter.
Jury's out: joyce. I really don't know. The Dubois fight will give us an idea. He's a silver medalist so there's something there - but what exactly?
Hrgovic: Will this prospect turn into a champion or a Kownaki? I'm not as sure of him as I.am.of Dubois- but he cant be dismissed among top prospects

I do think Joshua beats him though- and I'm not sure he could hang with Whyte for 12 rounds. Not many people think of Whyte as top 2 or 3 - the guy is a cracking fighter and hard as nails. Hope we see some of these fights before end of the world like.

Can’t have AJ that low when the fight to make is Aj-fury for all the marbles. I mean when fury wins surely we gonna give him all the credit in the world. So it can’t work both ways. AJ right now is the second best no question. Resume and skillwise too.

Usyk hasn’t beaten anyone and I thought looked pretty bad in his last fight.
Ruiz??? Maidana 2.0
