    How high can he rank? Let’s say he beats Fury in the rematch then the winner of the Joshua rematch to become undisputed champion and makes a few defences retiring undefeated.

    What would his legacy be then?

    Definitely would put him in the top 15-20 heavyweights of all time if he can become undisputed. His KO percentage is putting him in the stratosphere of knockout artists like Julian Jackson, if we are talking hardest punchers of all time.

    He defeated old Ortiz by KO and prime Stevern by UD.
    That's it.
    He is nowhere near top 100 in ATG HW.
    Once he fights somebody good its lights out.

    Then it depends what Fury does after that. If he gets KOed multiple times in a row then Wilder's resume is still ****.

    I just don't see a legacy, I can name 50 HWs easily that I think would beat him, (probably more TBH)

    If vitali is considered an atg around here then so should Wilder if he beats Joshua/fury/ruiz

    Wilder would probably get destroyed by Sanders, Peter, Briggs, or even somebody like Kirk Johnson.

    If he beats Fury, Ruiz/Joshua then he’ll rise slightly above ‘footnote’ or ‘honourable mention’!

    He might have time left to reach Michael Grant level.

    IF he beats Fury, then Joshua-Ruiz winner, then he starts ranking right up around the top 10.
