Guy you know Nothing about boxing. Muhammad Ali who was regarded as the greatest boxer of all time was a light heavyweight fighter compared to the heavyweights we have today.

Your weight category has nothing to do with who's the best in boxing.

You can be regarded as the best even if you're a middleweight champion. Take for instance, Floyd Mayweather. He is regarded as the best boxer of this generation having won all his fights.

This rating is very accurate . Tyson Fury is the best and most skillful among them for now.Wilder is just a scam. He loves selecting easy fight until he selected fury that beat him. In fact,for years Wilder cawordly avoided fighting with Dillian Whyte but our Anthony Joshua fought him and beat him. This is one of the reasons Whyte is rated ahead Wilder.





You sure say the thing balance?

Joshua will beat all of them listed there.

The guy that has the potential to beat everyone on that list is Fury, and Fury alone.

Fury is the only one on that list who does not have a weakness that can be exploited.

The man does not only know how to box, he makes it fun doing so. He danced around Klitschko, treating Klitschko the way a cat will treat a rat before eating it.

It is same thing he did with Wilder in both fights.

Fury's greatest weapon is his ability to read his opponent's next moves.

He doesn't have that power punch, but that is not a weakness you can use against him. Because:

1. He doesn't gas out easily.

2. He doesn't get hit hard easily because he knows how to read moves and get out of the way of hard punches. In the first fight, the two hard punches that Wilder managed to land were at the time Fury was fooling around.

3. He has the best footwork of all heavyweight boxers alive.

4. He is a gypsy. He is very tough to crack.


Incidentally, the only man on that list who can give him a tough fight is Anthony Joshua.

1. Joshua is hard to beat. Unlike Wilder, Joshua can actually box. He doesn't depend on luckily connecting a KO punch like Wilder.

2. Joshua has improved since taking help and advice from Wladmir Klitschko. Without Klitschko, I don't think Joshua would have beaten Andy Ruiz.

But can Joshua beat Fury? I doubt it. Why?

1. Joshua lacks the stamina of Fury. If Joshua tries to run around Fury the way he did against Ruiz, Fury will be happy to chase him around and tire him. We must remember that the Ruiz that faced Joshua in their second fight was an unfit Ruiz who ditched trainings and was feeding fat on junk foods. Tyson is far more disciplined than that.

2. Joshua is not a brawler. Toe to toe, Joshua will blank out in a fight against the king of brawlers. If Klitschko, the cheat who likes to tire boxers with his weight, can be ridiculed by Fury, I doubt if Joshua will survive Fury. Klitschko and Joshua are of the same height, and Fury has 3 inches over them. He will press down on Joshua the way he did against Klitschko and Wilder.

Tyson Fury will kill Anthony Joshua.
Joshua is notorious in boxing for having what is called a glass chin, which is why an overweight journeyman like Ruiz was able to knock him out so easily and embarrassingly.It's also the reason he ran away from fighting Wilder because Wilder would have decked him like a learner.
Joshua is overhyped.

Nice list but the biggest elephant in the room is the absence of Andy Ruiz Jnr and Usyk who I believe should replace Hunter and Rivas.

I will even put Brazzelle or Dunois ahead of those two names

Andy Ruiz was meant to be stop gap. Nobody reckoned with him and he wasn't even ranked in the top 20 when he fought Joshua the first time. It was the stunning and ruthless manner with which he destroyed Joshua that shot him into the top 10 rankings. Even he himself has confessed that most of his opponents regard him as a journeyman.

Why should I take sniper? Kudos to Anthony Joshua, that's my man but have you heard about this man; Dick Tiger?



Dick Tiger (born Richard Ihetu; August 14, 1929 – December 14, 1971) was a Nigerian-born professional boxer who held the World Middleweight and World Light Heavyweight Championships.


Tiger was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991. The Ring magazine named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1965, while the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1966. In 2002, Tiger was voted by The Ring magazine as the 31st greatest fighter of the last 80 years.

Yes, Ruiz was unrated, but he was not a journeyman. Even the best of boxers have been unrated at one time or the other in their careers. Ruiz was no journeyman.

He was once a contender for Parker's belt, and he even won that match, but the judges denied him.

If some of his opponents thought of him as a journeyman, then they paid for it, didn't they cheesy

When he beat them, their perspectives on him must have changed.

He was not a journeyman. He has always been a solid contender.

The top 10 heavyweight boxers in the world have been ranked by Ring Magazine with Tyson Fury coming on top of the rankings.

With the supposed agreement of Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury happening in 2021, and the third contest between Fury and Deontay Wilder, the heavyweight division has once again become the popular class in boxing.

Ring magazine have also named their other top 10 boxers in the division and with one of the biggest fights in the history of the heavyweight division not too far away, they have named Tyson Fury as their number one in the division.


Here is the top 10 according to Ring Magazine:

10. Kubrat Pulev

9. Oscar Rivas


8. Michael Hunter

7. Joseph Parker

6. Alexander Povetkin



5. Luis Ortiz

4. Deontay Wilder

3. Dillian Whyte

2. Anthony Joshua


1. Tyson Fury

The Gypsy King ends up top of the list, the only man unbeaten on this list after the controversial draw, then dominating win over Deontay Wilder in their fights in 2018 and 2020.

Anthony Joshua comes second place after regaining the WBA, IBF, IBO, and WBO titles after his shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019. Joshua currently sits on a record of 23 wins and one loss, also with a staggering 87.5% KO percentage.

The most surprising placement is arguably Wilder coming fourth behind Whyte. The Bronze Bomber arguably has the second best record with a 42-1-1 record with the draw and loss only coming at the hands of Fury.

The former WBC champions held the belt for five years.

What do you think of this top 10 ranking of heavyweight champions?

That still doesn't change the fact that Joshua shouldn't have lost to him in the first fight. That defeat showed a lot of weaknesses and vulnerability in Joshua which a crafty fighter like the Gypsy King will exploit mercilessly.

there was a time that Joshua and wilder was on everyone's lips arguing for who the strongest is because both were on winning a winning streak...
there came fury that said he would beat both of them easily and people thought he was joking not until he took wilder to the cleaners..
with what i saw that day, all i can say is that this fury guy is the best heavy weight fighter for now..
but boxing is all about technique and maybe he knew wilder soo well because it was too easy for him..
but i wont be surprised if AJ defeat fury and also wilder letter gets to knock out AJ..
thats boxing for you, it do happens in football too..
can't wait for fury vs AJ and i know it wont be an easy win for whoever wins it..

If wilder should beat anyone after the way fury exposed his one handed technic then the boxer should either fire all his trainers or retire from boxing. The fact is that fury clearly exposed wilder has being one handed. Just block his right hand and keep pounding him.

watch klitscho fight again he was gassed out after he knocked down klitscho, klitscho let him recover. Ruiz did not. In the second fight he did not engage much so conserved energy. Fought scared like a meek rat. Ruiz was also overweight hence couldn't catch up. If he faces fury or wilder. They will drain him and finish him. Fury can go 15 rounds, wilder can go 12 rounds easily too. For Aj to go 12 rounds he has to run and punch and not engaged.
sometimes arguing with some of y'all here is just an utter waste of time and a brain strain. For starters, what's the screenshot you posted supposed to mean? Is it to validate your ‘points’ or he's your stream of boxing knowledge?


And you also said Klitschko allowed Joshua to recover? What do you think they are doing? Ballet? In the 2nd Ruiz fight you said he did not engage? Is that why he outpointed and outpunched Ruiz? Is that also why Ruiz face looks battered?


Fought scared like a meek rat? E ma wo weyrey yi. Have you ever been in a boxing ring? Someone needs to put people like you to sleep. You called the only man to knock out Wladmir Klitschko in 13 years a meek rat? Like you'd have the spine to say it to his face.


Arguing with you is a total waste of my time. Just sod off!
