    Wlad constantly defended against best available opposition, cleaning the division out of number 1 contenders. 9 of his 18 title defences were against Top 10 guys. Wilder only defended against a Top 10 guys twice. The same guy actually, 156 year old Luis Ortiz. His resume can be compared to Vitali's actually. Wlad's CV shits all over Wilder's.

    Vitali's resume is as **** as Wilder's. Less losses tho, never knocked out and defeated more Top 10s in his career. But Vitali is way more overhyped than Wilder. Some people make him some kind of a terminator who would beat everybody because of his granit chin and he only lost to his body not to the opponents, lol.

    Vitali somehow became this head to head monster after getting stopped by an old Lennox Lewis

    Wildera best wins Ortiz, Washington, Stiverne, Spzilka, Duhaupas and Helenius.

    Whytes best wins include Parker, Povetkin, Rivas, Chisora, Franklin and Helenius.

    It's clear to see who has the better record and it's not Wilder.

    He's not a wasted talent aside from a devastating right hand, he has next to no boxing talent. In fact, he went far further than his talent deserved.

    easy to write him off now after the downfall. His prime was gone after fury beat it out of him in the 2nd and 3rd fight. Theres no coming back 100% after those beat downs. Have you ever seen someone get beat up so bad blood starts squirting out of their ear?

    The thing is though, Vitali all said and done was the #2 of the era after his brother.

    Wilder is currently #5 (and that isn't set in stone)

    #1 Usyk
    #2/3 Fury/Joshua
    #4 Parker
    #5 Wilder

    Heck Zhang, Ruiz, Joyce (and even Whyte) might yet surpass Wilder

    If Wilder had retired after Fury 3, I could easily have seen him enter HOF. Now with further losses to his direct peers... I don't know. Has the #5 guy (and falling) ever entered before?

    Wilder, AJ, usyk will all be in the HOF - That’s guaranteed! Maybe fury too.
    It will hurt and confuse those whose hatred can’t accept the reality.

    whyte, Parker Zhang etc most likely wont.

    sorry guys.
    so debate as you like but that’s the situation.

    I mean that's a really poor stat,50% of his fights were against guys outside of the top ten.
