Are there any heavyweights that are not bums or overrated?

    Reading the posts of forum "experts" (average age of 25) I have come to discover that every heavyweight boxer is a bum, fights tomato cans, has no chin, is over rated, is protected or will get exposed as soon as he fights another bum. . . . .I know that British fans believe that David Haye is the greatest of all time and should just be anointed the heavyweight crown but besides him are there any honestly truly worthy heavyweight contenders?

    Wilder is fighting trash cans son, stop pretending otherwise.

    He would be fighting a genuine contender if he fought one of the following:

    Parker
    Wlad
    Ortiz
    Fury
    Pulev
    AJ

    Instead he keeps on facing trashcans.

    And yes the top HWs do face each other- we have AJ and Wlad coming up soon.

    Sorry man but reading forum posts I see that Joshua has no chin and Wlad is too old (as well as no chin too).

    Wilder is fighting bums, but he's testing clean atleast. Take Ortiz off the list he's a PED cheat. No PED cheat should be given a title shot. There are clean athletes who deserve the shot more

    It seems to me that all of the "Bums" that Wilder has faced are ranked in the top 15. . . .
    Boxing is a business and in order to maximize the potential profits the stars must be aligned. . . .we are at the point now with Wilder, Parker, Joshua, Tyson Fury and soon add Usyk in round robin matches.. . . .unfortunately others who could have been involved have disqualified themselves --- Ortiz, Browne, Povetkin.
    So until the business creates the greatest situation for maximizing profit potential the elites must continue to take fights.
    Fortunately for the boxers forum experts do not run the business of the sport.

    That makes sense but it's just funny to me that guys think drug cheats deserve a shot. Ortiz disqualified himself and only has himself to blame. But people are mad at Wilder?! For what not wanting to fight someone who cheated.
