    As soon as Wilder fights an elite HW such as Povetkin, Fury or Ortiz he's getting KTFO.

    Best 3-5 fighters in the division are elite, nothing to do with belts, I'll throw Wlad in there too.

    Who do you consider elite in the HW division? I don't think any of these guys are ATGs I just think they are clearly better than the rest of the top 20 or so contenders.

    Wilder is just surviving on power, his competition has been very weak. He is very one dimensional in his punches.

    Fury is an ATG.

    Honorable mentions:

    Rahman.
    Sanders.
    Haye.
    Povetkin.
    Ibragimov.
    Byrd.
    Mercer.
    Peter.
    Thompson.
    Pulev.
    Jennings.
    Chambers.
    Chagaev.

    Great resume if you ask me.

    Holy supporting his fellow Alabama homeboy, nothing else. Don't read too much into this.

    Elites has zero to do with rankings. Elite status is obtained by having elite level competition and victories over A level opponents. Povetkin has none, zero wins of this calibre.
    At this stage Wilder isn't considered elite either and neither is Vlad or Fury.
    Vlad is a SHW who dominated a weak division filled with b level HWs. That is not elite, but he was the best of the b level bunch. :yep

    Someone paid Holyfield 10 bucks to make this statement. He is as honest and trustworthy as the North Korean media is.

    You still mad cause Holyfield told Brit LGBT that with today's medical science, they can get their gimp legs fixed.

    Holyfield is an ATG and wiser than Gimps. :yep
