I know we have a few on here who really seem to dislike Joshua, and others who ridicule Wilder. And Tyson Fury is definitely Marmite.

Personally I like them all.

But it would be interesting to know who's liked or disliked.

I've listed TEN Heavyweights. Click on the ones you have a favourable image of and ignore the ones you dislike.

The ten I've listed are not the Top Ten, but ten I think are relevant to us. If you think I've missed out someone please feel free to call me a c@nt

I dislike nobody. I think, that Joshua has been given too much dividends in advance, and I think, that Wilder was protected too good, but I like to watch them both. I root for nobody from the today's scene, except Tyson Fury and Povetkin. Anyway let them all just fight each other and entertain us!

I'll always have a soft spot for Tyson Fury for so effortlessly clowning the absurdly overpraised 'master boxer' Wladimir Klitschko, and for his immortal line: "You must be sh*t, you lost to a fat gippo!"

I very much like and admire David Price and Carlos Takam.

Otherwise dislike literally all of them.

I've selected 4 HWs for no other reason than I like them.

Joshua - definitive No1 who has gone about his business in a professional manner. Has mopped the belts in quick fashion, and has genuine ambitions to unify.

Wilder - none more than his knockout artist persona. He's been protected, and has an underwhelming resume for 40-0, but he is a proper HW who is raw and crude. I have him in the top 2 with Joshua.

Whyte - someone that has grown on me a lot since the Joshua defeat. Also goes about his business with real purpose. He may talk rubbish, but has dished out some entertaining fights with his heart on sleeve style. Really impressed with his last outing.

Dubois - many similarities to Joshua in the early stages of career. Excellent power and great promise. Look forward to seeing him step up the levels in 2019.

Like em all when they are fighting, some of the out of the ring stuff can be a bit annoying but that's part and parcel of the game these days, some get over rated too quick and some are not given credit they deserve but that's down to the fans not the boxers, its the promoters that should get more flack for not making the matches when they are there.

I went AJ, parker and bellew.

AJ may have had all the opportunity given to him on a plate but he has taken them and run with it, he has genuine ambition to unify shown in getting his 3 belts quickly(1bought, 2 earned hard).

Parker, I just liked his relaxed persona in the build up to both fury and AJ fights, seems not alot fazes him, he also has a mental promoter.

Bellew, he showed me up beating haye twice, he is alot more likable when he drops the aggressive rat trash talk.

Tyson Fury is probably my favourite of the current crop, I tend to enjoy his fights and think that our sport needs characters like him. Outside of your list, I’ve always liked Chisora and still follow my all-time favourite UK Heavyweight Danny Williams. He’s a ‘world’ champion now, don’t you know...

I like Adam Kownacki in that hes so unorthodox yet still effective.hes got his own unique way of fighting.

Also Bit leftfield but Artur Spilzka.hes like the heavyweight Salido.dont mind watching him fight at all and hes deceptively better than he looks.

Agree about Spilzka. He was looking excellent against Wilder until........

I also like the look of Nathan Gorman. Decent skills & power, only 21 & seems like a sorted chap.

Talking about prospects, I like to watch Hrgovic most. He has solid skillset, he's mobile, he looks real deal. I guess, he's a comer.

I like them all too, it would be great to see them all fight each other.
Maybe I have a soft spot for Hughie Fury, after seeing him in the amateurs, he was my big prediction to hit the big time, and despite some probs I'm hoping he will still prove me right.

The only heavyweight I don't like from this list is Hughie Fury. Simply because he is boring as hell.

I still think he'll come on. He doesn't have the same brash self belief as Tyson & he'll have learnt a lot from the Parker fight.

I enjoyed watching his last fight, he showed a lot more spite in his punches. Granted it was only against Sexton, but still encouraging imo.
