    If you go to www.premierboxingorganisation.com/heavyweight-200 you can see at a glance the top 100 heavyweights and their last 20 fights with the pre-fight ranking of each opponent. Deontay Wilder has fought 9 top 100 opponents, Luis Ortiz has beaten 4 top 100 opponents (Thompson result not showing yet). Bryant Jennings (4); Charles Martin (2).
    Deontay Wilder's resume is good when you look at the top 100 in all 17 divisions.

    I don't think so and if so, how? Based on man that beat the man, not a silly fan.

    The poorly educated silly fans do not understand big data. You'll be met with incredulous comments every time. I like that website as it takes much of the subjectivity out of the rankings.

    Thanks, Blackclouds. As long as the people that matter understand it your right.
    Nothing is going to be 100% accurate because fighters avoid each other but it is pretty accurate to a couple of places, to ascend the rankings you have to beat ranked fighters.

    And how many in that top 103 has Wlad fought? Nine? And he was champ for basically 10 years.

    Five is fine. He's been a champ for one year.
