    Do fans feel Washington is Wilders best world title fight opponent?

    If so, what would be the reason for your opinion?

    If you feel it is, do you feel Wilder has better title wins than Joshua considering Washington drew with a fighter than an undefeated Breazeale stopped and considering Washington is a short notice replacement and Breazeale was given a full camp

    If you do not feel it is his best world title opponent, who do you feel was?

    I think his best opponent was Szpilka .

    It this point Stiverne is fat , slow, has no work rate and is unmotivated. Stiverne is/ was Derrick Rossy level by the time Wilder fought him.

    I believe Szpilka would beat Audley Harrison, Eric Molina, Stiverne, Arreola, etc, etc- Wilders best opponents that he has faced.

    I think he's a little better than Brazeale, given that he performed better than Dominc did against Mansour (Braz lucked out a bit when Mansour suffered the injury). Braezeale's second best result (a gift decision vs Kassi) probably isn't as good as Washington's shut-out of a faded Eddie Chambers, either.

    DB performed much better against Aguilera. I think they're about even... DB is more talented but also more vulnerable than Washington.

    Being durable was the best asset DB brought into the AJ fight. Since when was he ever vulnerable? You just made that up right now. Th guy has an iron chin. Wilder has messed with your brain.

    He's been hurt and dropped more than Washington, such as against Mansour a mutual opponent where as Washington was never really in trouble. I said they're about even, you definitely need to work on your reading comprehension buddy.

    Thtas because he is worse than Washington. Only somebody like you would look at both fight with Mounsour and then claim that DB had more talent. He was battered from pillar to post . He's neither better than GW nor is he vulnerable.
    You simply don't like that GW is better than DB.

    I don't really care, nor do do I rate either particularly high. But for me DB has quicker hands, a better jab - but at the time has more defensive issues and is susceptible to getting hurt. To my eyes they're about even, either or might be slightly better than the other.

    His best opponent without doubt is Stiverne, Stiverne is world class, and has a chin.

    Washington is a Gate Keeper mascarading as a contender. Breazele is an Olympian , and he is a better fighter. Stiverne by far, they went the distance for reason folks. who is better than Stiverne on Joshua's record guys?,

    White v Stiverne would be an excellent fight. Based on what I have seen Stiverne is a bit better. Until Joshua defeats Klit, and Parker beats Fury, then Wilder CV has the more proven fighter on it.

    Fair points... But Szpilka and to a lesser extent Molina had actual success despite being KO'd, Stiverne really just hung in there. I don't think Stiverne has much left as this point, he'd almost certainly lose to Whyte unless he landed something big early. Stiverne doesn't seem interested in those kind of fights though. He'll probably try to force his mandatory status.
