    AJ and Fury ranked top two and rank 3 is Wilder?

    He's behind Ruiz too imo.
    He did look pretty bad against Fury, and Ruiz has a much better win on his resume.
    Then we have Usyk and the Whyte guy. Whyte also has a better win on his resume in Parker, although that one is quite controversial.

    I rank Wilder #2.

    Fury trounced him this time, but that doesn’t invalidate all the success Wilder had in their first fight — which was damn competitive.

    AJ’s loss was worse. And AJ had to just jab and run to win the rematch.

    You could make a case for Whyte being 3rd with wins over Chisora, Parker and Rivas.

    Maybe even Ruiz Jr as 4th his win over Joshua is better than anything on Wilder's resume.

    Wilder's resume is very thin, one decent name in Ortiz and we don't even really know how good Ortiz is as he's only beaten Jennings who at this point looks like a gate keeper type having lost to Joyce and Rivas.

    I have him behind Whyte at this point. Whyte has a better resume and less padded record. In my opinion Wilder whether he knows it or not avoided Whyte and AJ

    But he actually won his rematch. Wilder got beaten like a drum and made to quit in the seventh, losing his one and only belt.

    It's obvious who's above who in the ranking.

    3rd at best. Could make an argument for him to drop to 5th, below Whyte and Ruiz if comparing their resumes.

    Wilder and Ruiz should both be above Whyte.

    Wilder lost against the #1 HW champion and was fighting for lineal and ring, therefore he is 2nd place.

    Wilder’s still either number 2 or 3, but if he takes another loss to Fury he’d have to drop outside of the top 5.
