Deontay Wilder...top ten victories

Got it
Subjective but not a bad idea
After Ortiz 1 and 2, I had to think about it and think why would I put this win above this win etc
Overall I think Helenius has had a better career than Washington and Duhaupaus but he lost to both. You never know which Helenius turns up and have to look at where respective fighter was in their career etc

 

Wilder gets a lot of flack but what are David Haye's top 10 wins?

HW's:

Chisora
Valuev (final fight)
J. Ruiz (final fight)
Barrett
Harrison

CW's:

Mormeck
Fragomeni
Johansen
Maccarinelli
Gurov

Something like that. And instead of a draw (controversial or not) with Fury (who Haye ducked) prior to his first loss at elite level, Haye got stopped by 40+ former LHW Thompson.

On what grounds then is Haye such a credible fighter but Wilder a fraud? Wilder has a significantly stronger record to my eye.

 

Both con men in many ways

Haye just was a far better boxer technically

 

Haye always praised wilder and called him the real deal.

 

Could’ve done this, could’ve done that, at the end of the day he has no wins as good as Arreola, so who cares? It’s not about the title to me, Stiverne actually beat a relevant fighter.

 

Look at his resume if you go by fan cards:

Joyce
Parker I
Whyte I
Pulev II
Wallin

Very good resume for a contender. He did make it though I believe.

 

It's a pretty abstract claim. For me, Wilder's near shut out win over Stiverne 1 was a better outboxing performance than Haye scraping by Valuev. I couldn't see Haye getting to 42-0-1 against Wilder's list but I could easily see Wilder beating every Haye opponent save Wlad.

If we look at the resume (which is what people claim to care about here), Haye's inferior to Wilder. Why doesn't he get ragged on? Did he show more guts when he avoided a fight with Wlad and blamed his toe? Or when he avoided Fury?

 

I would say a draw with Fury ranks higher than all his other victories

 

Why is Valuev below Stiverne and Ortiz? He beat John Ruiz x2 and Liakovich, I’d say that alone puts him over any individual on wilder’s resume. Stiverne’s best win is Arreola, who cares about shutting him out?

chisora/valuev for me is clearly a better pair of wins than Stiverne/ortiz, if we’re being objective about the quality of their careers.

 

brezeale is/was rubbish... he was an american football player in some description not sure ifh e was a professional but he was rubbish boxer.

 

Haye was no more obligated to fight Fury than Fury was to fight Kabayel, Joshua, Bakole, Hrgovic, etc.

 

Yeah must be some sort of corruption. Because there's at least 3 time periods were Chisora should have been in the top 10, including right now.
