    How is this possible? He didn't beat any top-30 heavyweight?

    After Wilder beats Molina with first round KO, Mark De Mori would enter the top-15, so there we have a second defense for the 'champ' :lol:

    Thats insane mate, Joshua has been slapping up corpses for his 12 fights as a pro. Insane to rank him above almost everyone else on that list who has fought and beaten better competition.

    Joshua looks great, but he needs to fight someone.

    :lol:
    WBC probably forgot about him till he made some noise and then picked a random number for him to be placed in.

    No one should take the boxing sanctioning bodies rankings seriously. The only ones that interest me are Ring Magazines and Boxing News rankings.

    Wilder got to #1 by fighting nobody so #6 isn't too bad in comparison.

    exactly

    rankings can be bought when you pay the appropriate people the appropriate money

    No surprise considering Wilder became the WBC mandatory without beating any top 30 HW.

    This has truth to it.It is clear that AJ has a powerful lobbiest in Hearn and AJ seems to sell out every venue he fights in.This coupled with the sanctioning fees to any world organisation means big bucks for those alphabet sanctioning bodies.They all see big bucks in their future.

    Joshua should just pull a wilder and beat nobodies till a belt hands itself to him.

    Joshua is 25 and looking to rule the division by the time he is 29

    Wilder is 29 and looking to protect his chin and belt till he makes enough money to retire ;)

    Joshua ain't rushing into to anything. He was going to have a decent step up fight (I can't remember against who) but unfortunatly that got cancelled. Don't judge him so harshly yet.

    I only hope the WBC will enforce Wilder vs. Povetkin/Perez winner.

    Good promoting you would have to say, manoeuvring a fighter who doesn't deserve to be top 10 into that is very clever.

    Povetkin/Perez is officially an eliminator fight. Wilder will either face him or go for a unification with Wlad. Theres no 3rd alternative.

    Only reason why is he has the WBC silver belt gives you a good ranking.
