    I have been thinking about this a little over the last few months but never actually got around to asking. I don't expect many people rank that far low but if anyone does there is a poll for you.

    I had to obviously leave some higher options up to fit the poll and of course putting higher options would drive people mad ;)

    Well, he certainly has power, so that gets him some standing. Someday I may give some thought to extending my list to 50, and I do not think Deontay Wilder would make it. Maybe top 60 or 70?

    Boxrec recently had him at 73, and, despite the flaws in the system, I think its around there somewhere. It becomes very subjective very quickly when you get past the first-tier champs, but I think that is fair. You could have him a bit higher, or significantly lower.

    Ranked 85 as of today.

    I put "other" since hes outside the Top 90. His only good win(s) were against a 39+ y/o opponent. He has zero other noteworthy wins and after his losses to Fury - the 2nd best HW of era - he lost twice more to Parker and Zhou when he was 39+ y/o. But the same crowd that discount Wilder's losses to Parker and Zhou will proclaim wins over Luis Ortiz are ATG-worthy....

    I would go around Top 50 but I've never did rankings past Top 20.

    I.put other because i haven't considered it on enough detail.


    I'd say he should be below Norton, but above Quarry though.

    Neither do I. I think below 20 most people just go rough.

    I can assume that's outside the top 100

    I would imagine you have Fury higher since you appear to rate him somewhat?

    Yeah but not too high
    He had the talent but his resume stinks

    Usyk is the only one I rate high all time

    Glass Jaw Wilder is outside the top 100. His whole career was carefully crafted and he was one of the most coddled ‘champion’ in history.
