    Not yet, I hope he can get a top fighter next and beat him.

    Never reached my top 10 to be fair. Could be argued he was top 15 after the Gassiev SD win.

    That fight was an SD? Damn, he looked dominant there to me, though at the same time boring and unimpressive. The Wallin paradox. I think he's going to beat Chisora quite comfortable, though may get robbed.

    Nah, his greatest performance is a losing effort V Fury. He then sat on that for an age fought an old cruiserweight and then cashed out when getting demolished by AJ. He's a tidy boxer but not much else and worst of all he knows it.

    Yeah he seemed happy enough to get his check and have it stopped in the corner.

    Definitely not top 10 caliber.

    Top 20, Wallin is an overrated fighter, I wouldn't say he's not good but he's not overly good, that fight with Fury doesn't mean anything, even Pianeta withstood all the rounds with Fury, Wallin had a few lackluster performances against worse fighters and as soon as he ran into Joshua who owns Power then we saw what kind of fighter he is, and he beat Gassiev in a not very impressive way...

    At no point in time was he ever even close to top 10. And as you can see now being able to look back, he clearly never was, he never beat anyone in the top 10, his best win was someone that was top 15-20, and he was cast down back to obscurity as soon as he fought someone that was top 10.

    The ease at which Joshua dispatched him shows he was maybe top 20, no higher.

    Top 20 is pretty close to top 10, I would say. But this isn´t to say that I don´t agree with you.
    Wallin is an odd one - he beats decent low level guys like Breazeale with ease. But when he fought genuine top 10 competition, his results were rather mixed. He gave a good fight to Fury, but then got dominated by Joshua.

    If Wallin beats Chisora, I hope we get to see him in there with one of the current top 10 guys. I am curious to see if he can crack the top 10, or is he simply not good enough.

    The truth is, he should beat old man Chisora. Then again Joyce should've beaten Chisora as well.
