His resume is terrible. Everyone knows this and knows he's massively protected by the Windmill's Boxing Careservice. Really nothing more to discuss. Let's discuss proper boxers.
Every fighter starts out with a record fighting low ranked journeyman. I really think your being a bit harsh on Deontay.

Certainly a very poor resume. one has to wonder though how most know this but see Breazeale as an easy fight ? The truth is Breazeale will be the first power puncher and of prime whos well prepared and actually has a chin ,surely IF Wilder wins its actually looking as a BEST win for him,lets not forget he was saved by the bell vs Ortiz who failed his med exam prior to the fight. Wilder should have a slightly improved resume If he can get Breazeale on it who only loss is to Joshua.
Jesse Oltmanns, ranked 492th in the World. I fought that guy ,Wilder fought him past his prime. Im one up as well on wilder lol
Wilder will be 34 in October - he’s already approaching past prime - his resume is horrible and Fury Schooled him. Wilder is a fraud.
He does technically have a win over a prime Dustin Nichols, despite the obviously biased refereeing. Without exaggerating at all, this alone rockets him into the top 2 or 3 greatest fighters of all time, if not higher.
