Ranking the top heavyweights right now (Sept 2022)

[Mark TKO]

Curious. Are people putting usyk ahead of fury doing that on the basis he's technically better etc or doing it because they think he'd beat him

[palmerq]

I think usyk is a masterful boxer and certainly more skilled than fury I also rate usyks wins over Joshua higher than fury beating wilder(i just don't think wilder is very good), fury did beat an aged Wladimir but so did Joshua so maybe I should rank fury's achievements higher than usyks but i don't think there is a lot of difference.. as for who wins it could go either way, fury could easily lean and maul him to exhaustion but usyk is pretty handy and getting in and out and disrupting and fury has taken a few whacks from boxers worse than usyk.... So in conclusion I have usyk ahead due to my opinion that Joshua is quite a lot better than wilder.

It doesn't matter to me if usyk or fury were ranked number 1, there's not a lot in it for me.

A few variables for me but also like Palmerq I just rate Joshua more accomplished and all around a bigger scalp that Wilder. But also I consider Usyk more technically sound and an all around better boxer than Fury against a more diverse group and body of work but that's just me. Also I tend to put a good deal on the old ask "what have you done lately". Full credit to Fury for taking Wlad while Wlad was on his run though in a hardly watchable and efforted fasion. Joshua followed up albeit with Wlad a year+ older, but also refreshed but that can be subjective. On the side, I put stock into Usyk being a consummate professional in and out of the ring and not an indecisive rambling twat at every single opportunity . Lot's of talk on Wilder v Josuha or Fury v Joshua but clearly for division definition and clarity it's Usyk v Fury I'd like. Fury can call him a middleweight all he'd like but I believe Usyk has more than legitimized his position and I give him a quality chance to beat Fury should Fury ever get serious and show some direction with his future.
