    Joshua is 2x unified champion and defeater of old man Klitschko. I think he will be remembered fondly as guy who fought almost everybody, win or lose, by the end of his career. I also think Joshua still fights Fury eventually.

    if Wilder can catch Fury then I'd rate wilder higher as it stands Joshua for sure.

    If Wilder then goes back to his old WBC ways (Wilders Bum Carousel) then I still wouldn't... He'd have to beat Fury and then start fighting actual contenders, which he never has before and probably still wouldn't.

    I'd be extremely surprised if Wilder deserves to be rated higher by the time both retire - pleasantly surprised, but surprised all the same.

    As it stands it's not even a question, Joshua.

    If Wilder say were to beat Fury and then Joshua then it would be Wilder. Those are 2 big Ifs however.

    Wilder's resume is so weak and poor its not even a question. Now if Wilder beats Fury we can talk.

    well if he beats fury that's a win nobody else has so far. that would be the best win at heavyweight. it's a very massive IF we can talk about that if it happens which I dont think it will

    As p4p:
    Bodybuilder will be probably top 60-70.
    Street fighter will never be in top 100.

    Wilder comes down to if he can beat Fury or not....if he can't then him and Aj will probably have a fight and then we will see who the bigger hype job is.

    Wilder needs to win the Fury fight. Right now he's just remembered as a one dimensional boxer with 0 technique, which is pretty accurate

    Joshua and it is not even close. Stop overrating that windmilling psychopath with a padded record.

    Joshua. The Klitschko win easily outweighs all of wilders résumé

    Wilder has only lost to the best HW.

    Joshua has lost to a last minute opponent and a cruiserweight.
