    Does Helenius get credit if he bests Wilder? Does losing to Helenius hurt Wilders legacy?

    It destroys Fury's resume.

    Wilder shouldn't lose to Helenius, he's beaten better fighters than him, including 2 guys that beat Helenius. Plus Wilder isn't that old at 36, two years younger than Helenius. So if Wilder somehow loses it probably means that Fury beat him so badly that he ruined Wilder. So no I don't think it ruins his reputation if that's the case.

    Washington and Duhaupas aren't better fighters than Helenius. Their wins over him aside he's a more accomplished and dangerous fighter. Helenius will definitely be one of Wilders best wins if he's able to pull it off.

    Helenius is not a top 10 heavyweight. His recent career revival is due to stopping Kownacki twice. SO yea if Wilder loses to Helenius it will hurt his career and be the biggest win on Helenius record. He would get credit and talk of a true contender.

    If Helenius wins its a major upset. Of course he gets credit.

    What a ridiculous statement that's like saying Usyk isn't better than Joshua because Joshua aside from the losses to Usyk he's an accomplished and dangerous fighter.

    Just because Helenius beat Kownacki who isn't even gatekeeper level and lost his very next fight against a D lister Helenius is suddenly at 38 a top level heavyweight when in reality he's probably barely top 20.

    If Helenius beats Wilder (which is unlikely) he goes into the TOP 10 heavyweights for a long time; at least until his next defeat.
    It would be the biggest win of his career.
