    Heavyweight division is main division again

    People still talk about Joshua, Fury and Wilder. Also about Whyte and Povetkin. Dubois and Joyce.

    Guys from other division will have to make the best fights to surpass that.

    Canelo will have to fights Bivol, Beterbiev, Benavidez, Jermall or Andrade

    Crawford will have to fight Spence or Danny

    Lomachenko will have to fight Lopez, Gervonta, Haney

    That is great for boxing. Since people have seen Fury -Wilder 2, they wanna se the best guys from other divisions fighting each other.

    Yeah it has been for a little bit now.

    Fury vs Joshua is the biggest fight that can be made in boxing now, and there's a heap of good contenders and interesting fights which can be made, it's good to see.

      We have Tyson Fury to thank for that. It all came from him dethroning one of the most dominant, longest-reign Heavyweight champions of all-time. So don't forget to give props to the Gypsy King. Many people do.

          The new face of boxing.

          Haters will try and deny it, but we all know its true.

            Maybe it is for you but not for me. I think 175 Beterbiev, Bivol, 168 Canelo, Benavidez, 160 GGG Andrade Jermall, Dervy and 147 Crawford Spence Pac all have better fighters pfp overall than heavyweights so I like these weight classes more. To each his own.

              Tyson Fury seems to be by far the best and he is very good. But after Fury who is so special at heavyweight? It looks like a dominant champion ruling over some average contenders. Maybe you could make a case for AJ if you think he is on Fury's level. Fury will probably be at least a 2 o 1 favorite to beat AJ and Fury would probably be at least a 4 to 1 favorite to beat anyone else.

                Welterweight is ok. But I don`t care about Canelo fighting some unknown guys.

                  Thing is, Joshua -Fury is the biggest fight in boxing right now.

                  And Fury and Wilder made a huge money in rematch also.
