    I've been thinking lately that Wilder's record really looks impressive - 32 fights, all won by way of knock out. Nevertheless, I started thinking of other heavyweight fighters of current era who would go through Wilder's resume in the same way.

    Here's my list:

    - Wlad
    - Haye
    - Fury
    - Chisora
    - Joshua
    - Povetkin
    - Stiverne
    - Arreola
    - Lucas Browne
    - Amir Mansour
    - Andy Ruiz jr (he fights Liakhovich next week, so we'll see)

    We can arguably add other names to this list, like Thompson, Takam, Pulev etc. So his record is definetely not outstanding.

    With that being said, do you think he is a real threat to heavyweight division and will destroy Stiverne?

    On a serious note Travis Walker prob takes out the vast majority of them in devastating fashion.

    Malik Scott, Liakhovic, Harrison and maybe Firtha.. but yes, as for the others, he would.

    Perhaps Im outa line, but I dont see a reason why Kovalev couldnt do it. Some big heavy clup fighter is gonna survive a 6 or 8 rounder with a middleweight. GGG is outa the question and not a serious response IMO

    I doubt Harrison, but Price in all likelyhood

    Well I guess that depends on how you saw the Scott win. I agree prime Liakhovuic would have been a big ask but he was totally finished when they fed him to wilder. Would you pick Harrison over travis then? Not sure I would...

    Scott easily by UD. Just would be more active and outpoint.
    Liakhovich looks bad against top fighters like Jennings but still would take Travis in a close fight.
    Harrison.. on a second thought.. who knows.

    Wilder isn't a man. He's a Greek god. Sculpted from Zeus. Wilder takes out all those clowns in 2 minutes tops.

    Arreola doesn't stop nor beat non-diving Scott.

    Well I doubt it, though I consider most of them better than Wilder.

    Povetkin for example easily beat Firtha but didn't even knock him down, winning in 10. So he's out.
    Same would be true for few others. Wilder has poor resume, but that's really hard to stop all 32 in a row (mostly because there are many 4 and 6 rounders and unexperienced fighter can fail to stop some opponents early in his career).

    As for Stiverne, I think Stiverne is clearly the better boxer and Wilder has only puncher's chance.
