Best resume Wilder or Joshua?

Joshua by far and he's done it in half the amount of fights

No contest

 

We all know its Joshua. Please don't pollute the environment by igniting another spate of Wilder / AJ threads

 

lol of course Joshua has a better resume.

Whyte, Takam, Wlad, Parker, Povetkin, Breazeale and Martin

 

Either look at the total number of bona fide top ten fighters faced, or divide the average rating of opponent by the total number of fights. Joshua wins either way.

 

Right now Joshua has the better resume but that could change very soon.

When Wilder beats Fury, it's arguable who has the better resume.

 

Joshua has the better resume in half the fights. Not siding with anybody here it's just down on paper fact.

 

its really about their title resumes

joshua has one win over a prime titlist, not a stellar example of course.

wilder has one over a post prime one, and no great one certainly.

after that josh has old wlad which trumps old ortiz.

joshua on top, unless you are one of these cowardzaghe tpye fans who think lots of crap quantity trumps quality...and if you are, I'd not want to work with you.

 

Another thread that has nothing to do with Calzaghe, yet you you manage to bring him up haha

 

Joshua and it's by a fair margin.

Povetkin is better than current Fury too so the gap is about to widen.

 

I would say it's basically equal right now. Sheer number of wins should count also in ranking a fighter based on resume, and yeah of course quality of opposition should be crucial in it. Joshua has had a much better calibre of opposition already, but Wilder has so many more wins/fights that it maybe brings it up to being equal. Real way of looking at it though is that Joshua after 30 fights, will have maybe 2x the resume Wilder does after 40

 

By that definition Joshua's final record would be enhanced if he stayed at lower level beating 6 journeymen a year for five years before stepping up. What possible value is there in seeing an elite fighter destroying guys who are training in their spare time whilst holding down jobs? Strip the padding away from their respective resumes and judge them once they step up to a decent level.

 

Joshua has the better resume, mainly because he moved
from B to A level quicker.

Both Joshua and Wilder have a lot of cannon fodder on
their resumes, Wilder has quite a bit more though.

 

Not at all. If they were both to retire now then Wilder's resume would decline for sure in my eyes, as he'd have actually finished it up without fighting anyone of note.

I guess it's an unorthodox way of doing it but I kind of tally up level of opponent and number of wins while they're still active, then when they retire, if they haven't had that 3, 4, maybe even 5 major fights in their career, my opinion of them will decrease hugely.
So in a way, I suppose you could say I have Joshua miles ahead. If they were to both retire today.

However if Wilder is to go have 3 big fights against three big opponents (and not lose them all) then he's probably a long way ahead of AJ, because the padding then counts, if they both have big names
