    He was the very definition of a paper champ.

    Usyk was the champion, a political decision was made outside of the ring.

    Dubois was never the best HW in the world.

    I think Hrgovic, Miller and AJ are outstanding wins and worthy of a champion.

    the 3 names right here are much better than Wilders entire resume put together

    For me, there is no claim to being a real champion unless someone beats Usyk or he retires

    How can they be worthy of a champion if they don't include the person who actually was champion?
