    Default Who is currently the best heavyweight boxer in the world: Wilder, Fury or Joshua?

    If you think someone else - please comment and state why.

    Out of the 3 biggest names: Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, who do you think is the best heavyweight boxer?

    I used to think Fury after his original fight with Klitschko, more recently I thought Wilder after his K.O. of Ortiz - he was nearly out of his feet but survived, came back and instead of losing he won himself knocking the opponent out. Easily one of the most impressive fights.

    But most recently, I am thinking it is in fact AJ, after seeing his precision, footwork and stamina against Povetkin.

    I like all three characters for slightly different reasons and ultimately I want the best to win.

    Vote on the poll.

Not sure about AJ v Wilder, but would bet on AJ after seeing his fight against Povetkin most recently.

    If Fury regains his form of old, these three should have some very exciting and competitive fights. Looking forward to the eventual showdown of Joshua vs Wilder the most.

    Heavyweight boxing is a joke these days. I miss the days of Mike Tyson

    Honestly I think it's between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Don't get me wrong Joshua is good, but I don't know how we will do against any of these two.

    Tyson Fury is very slick and has good movement for a tall lad. Wilder packs a serious punch. Fury v Wilder is going to be an epic fight.

    Fury is by far the most skilled of the 3...but the least explosive in terms of punch power

    after his 2 and half year layoff and huge weight gain (and subsequent loss) during that period, Fury doesnt seem the same fighter to me, judging by the 2 fights he's had since his return

    That fight guys - was the best heavyweight boxing fight I have ever seen in my life.

    Respect to both Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury - they are both true champions!

    Deontay has proven that his unique fighting style is effective against all opponents and that his power is REAL - he did knock Tyson Fury down twice, the toughest and heaviest guy in the division. He deserves to be a champion.

    Tyson fury has proven he just as equally deserves to be a champion with the greatest comeback in boxing history. His ability to outbox all opponents at the highest level was proven and the way he got up after that 2nd knock down in round 12 will be immortalized in history as irl undertaker.

    Looking forward to both of them facing AJ sooner or later.
