    Wilder usually gives up a lot of weight to his opponents and still manages to win. Not sure how anyone can rate him so high when he’s fought so many bums. If he KOs Fury or wins convincingly and goes on to beat AJ and maybe Usyk, you have to put him high on the list. He just hasn’t done enough to warrant it at this time.

    I instantly think **** NO because he isn't technically very good. But let's think about what P4P means conceptually - it's supposed to be how'd you get on were weight disparity merely a myth. WIlder's wasting guys with lots of weight advantage over him, so you have to take that into consideration. But that's also why I really don't like putting HW guys in the P4P rankings. They just make it too damn confusing and so many of them aren't particularly great boxers. His resume is too thin for me personally to put him even in the top 10, but I can see the possible argument for the inclusion of someone like Wilder.

    Don't like most of his opponents but he's knocked down even the top guys he's fought so his power legit he is the definition of punchers chance

    I wonder why he didn't rank Inoue. I think he probably just forgot about him or he doesn't follow boxing in the lower divisions.

    P4P top 5!? We can barely say he's done enough to justify a top 5 heavyweight position! Fury, Joshua, Whyte, Povetkin, Parker all arguably have done more at the weight!

    Classic Usyk, putting someone in his top five who can't jab, body punch, leaves his head open and has zero balance. This guy cracks me up.
