No-one on that list has shown me they could catch a Tyson Fury in full Backfoot mode.
I can't wait to watch Joshua destroy him. He'll be overrated after he massacres Fury.

Meaning he would lose to Dwight Howard?

Wilder is also very good and Tyson seems at times to hang on to weight he says it doesn't matter but, hes not been in the ring with a world class pressure fighter, or anyone with speed. I love Tyson and i think he is great! but im curios to see how the rematch goes, people think it will be the same, but a Hungry Wladimir Klitschko who seems way more determined hes been training almost since he lost is a very dangerous man. He seems way more serious and more of the ruthless cold KO artist we have been used to seeing for years. But eventually he will retire ( pretty soon ). Also Haye and briggs both former champions are 38 and 44 and will eventually decline also. The 3 people i see that are talking points are Wilder, Parker and Anthony Joshua. Tyson right now is the man, he beat the best. But the others need a new test which in time will come. same story with Golovkin, hes faced good fighter but we want to see him against Canelo. But to choose one fighter to be the " man " id say Anthony Joshua because he is an all round athlete which is extremely important at the top level. He has Gold at the Olympics and so far hes dominated and is a World Champion with only 16 fights! He will no question beat Breazle and after that he should face the IBF mandatory Joseph Parker which would be Exciting and a real talking point!
Neither Joshua nor Parker have been in with a World Class fighter period. Maybe Takam, but if he's World Class so is Chisora.

I'm always a little troubled by the push to convince people that the proliferation of silly alphabet titles and rankings is a good thing.
I'm happy for all these boxers to fight each other.....some great fights in prospect.
but however much I dislike Fury and Klit....the bottom line is Tyson Fury already IS the undisputed champ.
everyone else is fighting for the authentic albeit disputed number 1 spot.

If they all fight one another it's hard to go against Joshua right now, but you know boxing one punch can change a lot of things very quickly and we are talking the Heavyweights.
The timing and venue of each fight is important also.
So far Joshua looks very good, his boxing ability has impressed me considering where he is as a pro at this point, clearly advanced.
Even though Joshua bouts end early he doesn't look like he's rushing at all, I love the way his doesn't lose his sh_t and builds up some of the new attacks from the first punch and doesn't try to take off where he left in the previous confrontation, that's patience and good schooling right there I like that.
He's a smart boxer is Joshua and has a tasty little firm backing him up in the corner, solid team behind him who have obviously done their homework.
Nice fella too if I don't mind saying.
