Older and/or declining heavyweight contenders always become supplanted by the members of the next generation matching forward, in a rhythm that dates back to the begining of time. In this are a few good comebacks and turnarounds and some hang on as perennials across overlapping generations, but eventually all become replaced.
Today we are starting to see the aging out of the first "Post Klitschko Generation (2002 - 2015)".
Just off the cuff, it seems that the age still very much belongs to Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz Jr and Joe Joyce until further notice.
Done, older or in apparent or inevitable decline are Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, Luis Ortiz, Alexander Povetkin, Derek Chisora, Jarell Miller, Kubrat Pulev, Robert Helenius, Chris Arreola, Charles Martin, Johann Duhaupaus, Gerald Washington, Dominic Breazeale, Adam Kownacki, Carlos Takam, Bermaine Stiverne, Trevor Bryan, Lucas Brown, Erkan Teper....
Their slots have been or are going to be replaced in a process that is ever continuing by the next round of title aspirants, such as Filip Hrgovic, Martin Bakole, Tony Yoka, Daniel Dubois, Frank Sanchez, Otto Wallin, Michael Hunter, Jared Anderson, Simon Kean, Arslanbek Makhmudov, Zhilei Zhang, Zhan Kossobutskiy, Stephen Shaw, Jermaine Franklin, Efe Ajagba, Ali Eren Demirezen, Vladyslav Sirenko, Bakhodir Jalolov, Murat Gassiev, Evjeny Romanov, Ivan Dychko, Agit Kabayel, Steven Torres, Richard Torres and the like.
Question:
Name the next 5 to drop away from the top 15.
Name the next 5 to become a presence in the top 15.
What might the top 10 look life in another 7 or 8 years?
