    What wins Wilder needs to be in ATG top 10 list? If he beats Povetkin, Joshua and Fury, will he then become ATG top 10? :nut

    povetkin is easy work for wilder....

    fury is a halfwit oaf...wilder would send him back to his trailer

    joshua would be a great win for wilder to build his legacy

    beating an oaf with an iq of 25 and marco hucks leftover does nothing for his legacy though

    If he beats all 3 and Wlad, then retired I'd have no choice but to consider him as a top 20 heavyweight, provided the wins weren't controversial in any way. Not saying he would get in, but I'd atleast consider him

    At first I thought this was a troll thread. Its laughable to think beating Povetkin alone would get him into top 10. But, beating Fury and Joshua, assuming Joshua continues to progress and Fury beats Wlad again, might be enough to get him into the top 10, if other things go right and unless he comes apart at the wheels afterward. I'd say he's the least likely of the 3 younger SHW's to achieve that feat, but I'm not ruling it out.

    Dear lord, he has no chance to run this gauntlet. He barely beat Molina, Duhaupas, and Szpilka,

    He'd be neck and neck with Ali, Louis and Valuev for the top 3 HW's spot I'd say.

    Wilder would be Top 10 if he beat Povetkin. Not ATG top 10, but current HW top 10.

    You really dont have wilder on the current hw top 10 ? Hows that possible.. and beating povetkin does zero for me but beating AJ, that's the single greatest win in hw history.

    AJ is going to prove to be the most dominste hw champ ever. ahh yes, thats what i truly believe. I strongly believe AJ gets better every week he trains and is so talented with simply fight ending power in every and any shot, power that the hw division has never witnessed before.

    Usable power, that's what i see

    That should make him feel better knowing that YOU will consider him.

    What would beating Fury have to do with getting in the top 10? He may hold most of the belts but this clown was beaten by Mcdermott and was almost KO'd by Cunningham.

    Likely not. For Openers, Povetkin will TKO him. So would Joshua.

    Fury vs Wilder is 50/50. To become a top 10 ATG, you need to have several title defenses.

    If he beat all three, and had say 10 more title defenses vs quality opponents, then it's a conversation.

    This is exactly what I was going to put, ATG status is earned over a period of time not on a couple of good wins surrounded by 30+ low level opponents.

    Yeah! Like that clown Ali was beaten by Jones and almost KO'd by Cooper.

    No

    IF he manages to beat Pov, then he needs to man up and fight the winner of Fury vs. Wlad or fight AJ.

    He is currently a strap holder, of a boxing organisation that is so corrupt it stinks
