Wilder belongs on there considering how highly he's rated relative to what his resume shows... Especially given how inactive he's been since Fury. Tank is another that gets rated way more highly than his resume bears out. Until the Zhang losses, I'd have had Joyce up there somewhere too, but the hype seems to have died down somewhat now.
Tszyu as for now. Kaleb Plant in the last decade or so. Dude had average skills and atrocious resume for a titlist, yet Canelo's fanboys hyped him up to insanity
Hrgovic. Hasn't impressed me yet. And won't after he demolishes Mark DeMori which is a joke of a fight. I true top HW wouldn't have taken this fight; it should have been considered an insult to him.
I think the heavyweights are in general largely overrated. With Wilder its hard to say, I think he's overrated by some while others vastly underrate his ability. I think Tank may be one of the most talented fighters in the sport but he's very few genuine world class guys. Ryan Garcia for me may be the most overrated.
I think you're right about the heavies. With Wilder, it depends how you slice it... By resume, hes never been anywhere near top in the division - yet time and again you have people rating him above guys who have done more, and picking him to beat guys who are more proven (Joshua, Fury before #1 and even between #1 and#2, etc) and guys he's ducked (AJ, Whyte, Povetkin, etc). Yea, I'd definitely say he's significantly overrated. It's a very similar story with Tank - you have guys putting him on P4P lists and picking him H2H against guys like Loma, Haney, Teo, etc who have far, far less thin resumes. Garcia's very average, but the only people treating him like he's hot **** are guys that need him to be good in order to beef up Tank's thin resume (similar to what happened with Ortiz to help Wilder)... It's a niche group that's overrating him.
I've already seen threads that surmised Tim Tszyu will go down as an ATG, him being matched against Sergio, against Floyd, against Winky, someone actually said his power and pressure would actually break down Winky and he'd stop him etc..............Be ****in forreal...................
Without question Tyson Fury. He lost to an MMA fighter who never had a boxing match in his life FFS. It's fine if you want to **** on Tzysu but he doesn't have anything remotely that bad on his resume. His resume is actually not half bad, I think the last fighter he beat is an underrated win.
Arslanbek just doesn't do it for me - not one live body on his record. Also Haney and Shakira are frauds in my eyes. Couple of feather fisted fairy hypejobs
