    He never was. His best win is a 50 year old Ortiz. How does that get him any where near top 10?

    Any heavyweight that counter/pressure well like Fury did would hae a great shot at beating Wildder specifically if that had power like Frazier or M.Tyson. They both had the head movement to slip Wilder`s long right hand.

    Prior to yesterday's fight I would have him as the fourth greatest heavyweight of all time, but now he has probably slipped to sixth.

    He has probably the strongest right hand in history of boxing, which may entitle him to be the ATG puncher, but he will never be among the ATG masters of the boxing sport. It's just not meant for him.

    I don't know if Wilder could deal with Abdulla the Butcher's fork.
