Is Wilder's resume the worst ever for a world champion?

Charles Martin, Scott Quigg, maybe Ancajas? Last one debatable. Just from the top of my head

 

Julio Cesar Chavez was fighting unranked opponents 43 fights into his career

 

Fighters have different situations so they can’t be moved the same when they start their professional careers.

Russ Anber wisely moved Wilder slow due to both Wilder’s late start at boxing and limited amateur career. However, despite moving Wilder slow when he challenged for a title Wilder barely had around 60 rounds under his belt because of all of the easy knockout wins.

Fortunately for Wilder he started picking up rounds after becoming a champion, but even with over 40 fights he still doesn’t even have 200 rounds under his belt.

Foreman was also moved pretty slow and carefully steered towards a title shot as well and also so that he could accumulate rounds. I remember Foreman saying how much of a difference he thought having 100+ rounds of experience under him made when he fought Frazier for the title.

Foreman also followed this philosophy in his comeback despite a lot of criticism, but in the end he found success found again.

Having those rounds under belt really come in handy in making midfight adjustments.

 

No. There have been worse. BUT...to give DW a little bit of credit, he defended it many times. Sure the level of comp was terrible, but still some credit for the # of defenses.

 

Charles Martin?

 

Definitely not lol. Primo Carnera had 80+ fights by the time he fought for a title and it's unknown how many were even real fights. The majority were in backwaters against less-than-nobodies.

 

McCall`s resume was pretty bad until he beat Lewis.

 

A lot of fighters are protected way too long and then crumble.
Just ask John Mugabi.

 

One of the worst.
Even SNV's resume is light years ahead of Wilder's.
You can't even compare his resume to the likes of LL or Ali.
Brian Nielsen is worse probably.

 

Furys resume as an champion is worse as he's never logged a win

 

Scott Quigg was not a world champion. He held the WBA (regular) belt.

 

Wilder was never a world champion more than guys like Bruce Seldon were.

 

Aj never won any belt off of a champion either what does that make him?
