    Wilder is as deserving of a place in top 10 boxers list as Donald Trump is of a place in the top 10 best world leaders.

    Ridiculous, he should be in top 3. These experts need to be screened.

    Imagine Wilder at flyweight coming in and swinging feather fisted windmills.

    ESPN has gone full social justice lately, id say it was a requirement that one of the panel had some sort of mental disability.

    Id say the guy who had wilder at 4 must have had some rare new disease which is like down syndrome and aids mixed together

    They cram more Americans into it as compensation for having Loma so high. Assuming Wilder got in because Rigo dropped out sorry did not see the list before hand or currently for that matter.

    Yeh... That's bad... At HW alone I'd have him behind Joshua, Povetkin, Parker, Ortiz and Fury...

    ESPN already went full ****** by taking Teddy Atlas off of commentary.

    Then clearly, you have zero credibility on the subject.

    While that's a debateable comment, everyone on that list would be a strong favourite against everyone on Wilder's resume so its kind of hard to see what Wilder has done to deserve such kudos. I feel the same about Joshua being on that list, btw.

    He's undefeated, he's a clean fighter (no PEDs), he's tried making a fight against three of those guys, one retired mental health and drug issues, the other two felt hey needed PEDs, and he has destroyed his sub par opposition.

    P4P should objectively rank visible technique and quality of opposition of a fighter. Both are abysmal in Wilder's case.

    ...and not a single one of them had Usyk in the top 10.

    He has been rocked more than once by his subpar opposition and come out the other end a couple of times now looking like a victim of domestic violence.
