The_budweiser Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights? 1. Tyson Fury After his shock win over Klitschko he deserves top spot. 2. Anthony Joshua IBF champ and is progressing well. 3. David Haye Haye due to his inactivity and not holding a belt he goes in at number 3 for me. 4. Dereck Chisora The tough durable and often out of shape Chisora. He's fought some good names and deserve to be listed in UK's top 5. 5. Whyte, Price, Cornish, Allen, H.Fury Can't pick a just one. Hopefully one of the above can step it up in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JrGooNer Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights? Anthony Joshua Tyson Fury David Haye Dillian Whyte David Price I feel like Dillian Whyte is better than his rankings suggest given what he did to AJ but to be honest both are still to be truly tested against top opposition and Haye is proven albeit not recently. Also I don't like including Chisora at all so I went with Price although he needs to do something to show he can still mix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully one of the above can step it up in the near future. This is pretty spot on for me. Joshua over Haye given the lack of credible opponents he's faced on his comeback. I'd have Whyte, Price and H. Fury under 5. and Cornish and Allen a level below. If Joyce and Clarke turn pro in the next year or two the domestic scene could be pretty health for a few years.

Just wondering, why you guys have Joshua as number 1 over Fury who has the WBA, WBO and IBO belts and beat the unbeatable Klitschko who has dominated the heayweight division for years.

WelshDevilRob Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights? My list is based on who I think would beat who. I just don't like Fury's chin. Joshua seems to have it all and he's still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, why you guys have Joshua as number 1 over Fury who has the WBA, WBO and IBO belts and beat the unbeatable Klitschko who has dominated the heayweight division for years. I am going by talent and potential rather than experience and to be honest I sort of did a mix of rank and my personal taste.. I find Fury quite boring and I genuinely think if Fury and AJ met even now AJ would be too powerful for him. Fury has good footwork and good head movement but [who was it that said if you can't catch their head just jab at their chest.. Foreman?] Either way I think AJ would hurt him even just putting shots on his chest and through his gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Stream Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights? I`m torn between Fury and Joshua for my favorite. But I think I will go with Fury just because of the raw power he possesses. An excellent boxer to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights? David Price rating himself :haha: Boxers really are a true, thick breed of their own! Ranking by achievement and standing is definitely different than how you'd rank them on talent/potential... You have to have 1 and 2 as Fury and AJ. I think AJ would beat Fury though. I also think Haye would beat Fury also, but Haye wold have to be 3 on the list due to the inactivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxeador Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights? I´m updating my short list, due to the Fury´s affair: 1. Anthony Joshua 2. David Haye. 3. Lennox Lewis. 4. Dereck Chisora. 5. Dillian Whyte. I think Lennox would win both Chisora and Whyte...on the same night.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murmurs Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights?

LondonRingRules Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Re: Your top 5 British Heavyweights? --- I'm coming around to thinking with the obvious delicacy of Wilder, Chisora's best bet for a title would be him. Just use his ugly mug to let Wilder bust hisself up. Maybe not a cakewalk, but everyone knows now that Wilder struggles more and more.
