    No and never thought he was. He had a couple good rounds against Fury who wasn't even in first gear for most of the fight and people thought he was suddenly a contender. He's always been a top 20-25 type fighter at best.

    Sokolowski's son is maybe top 30.

    He throws punches as if he was taught to not hurt his opponents. Never seen a more harmless heavyweight than big Otto.

    Maybe barely Top 30, he looked so bad against Joshua and Chisora that I can barely put him in the Top 30...

    I've never rated Wallin as more than a spoiler. Someone who make another fighter look bad without actually winning the fight himself. I never put him in the top 10 because I never saw him as a legit contender or gatekeeper.

    When Joshua fought him I thought Wallin was overrated to try and rebuild Joshua. And Joshua took a lot of illegitimate confidence from that fight, along with Ngannou and Helenius.

    He's a one hit wonder (and still lost), featherduster, BUM. He showed heart for one night only, and fought like a ***** the rest of his fights.

    No. His most notable performance was still a loss.

    Considering his career highlight is either earning a narrow split decision over the ghost of Gassiev, or getting outboxed 10-2 by a one-eyed Tyson Fury who didn’t bother to train, no

    Your thread title doesn't match the question raised in your initial post. Nor does it match the question raised in your poll.

    Time for a medication review.

    Not that it's hard to be a top10 in this era, but I can think of at least 7 boxers that would beat him up anytime.

    Usyk
    Chisora
    Joshua
    Fury
    Kabayel
    Parker
    Dubois

    Make the question in your thread title, the question in your opening post and the question raised in your poll the same as each other and there won't be any confusion.

    Or is this just trolling with a different twist?
