    Would he make your top 150?

    No chance of making the top 100.

    I'd say at the very best top 60. He simply doesn't have the resume and when he did step up he lost to every decent fighter of this era.

    Outside 100.

    Fury and Joshua probably somewhere around 60-80... Difficult to tell with a fairly poor era, but those two sit significantly above Wilder.

    Fury was at least fit for both Usyk fights.

    The one fight he turned up properly for for Wilder he blew through him like he wasn't there... He struggled twice when unfit and fat - but then in similar condition he also struggled with Ngannou, for example.

    It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

    Man some people really dump on this era. Since 2015 it has been enjoyable and we have had lots of competitive fights.

    I would say you have a very high standard for today's heavyweight era.

    That's pretty standard, people dump on the current era, it's only after that era has passed it can be truly assessed without bias.

    It's definitely been an entertaining era, especially compared to the Klitschko era. Plenty of characters and exciting fighters to watch and most of the fights that mattered have happened.

    I don't make rankings lists, put a gun to my head I can come up with a top 10.

    You guys putting him at 150 are being silly. You don't think Wilder would knock Corbetts thong off?

    I agree. I know of people who followed heavyweight boxing in the 90s and 70s which held as the gold standard and thet said much of the same was being said about the fighters as now that they weren't that good and so on so forth.

    He's one of the heavyweights of all time. A boxer too. He did exist. I can confirm.

    Not thought a great deal about it but anywhere from 50 to 100 seems reasonable to me
