    I haven't learned much about Bivins and Loughran, so I have no input on them.

    You're biased against Wilder though.
    Draw against Fury>Chagaev (Easily could've been a ko win if you dont like the cards)
    KO of Ortiz>KO of Whyte
    KO of Ortiz 2=Chambers dec
    Dec Stiverne>KO Perez
    KO Breazeale<KO Takam
    Spilzka<Sloppy dec over Huck.
    Duhaupas, Scott, Arreola, Stiverne II...v. draw against Hunter and wins over Hammer, Shot Byrd, Wach, Charr....

    Povetkin made a career out of sticking to a certain level outside of the last 12 months with a couple title shots and multiple PED violations. I dont see him above Wilder because his top end is worse and he wasn't a champion.

    Povetkin opponents imo are far superior to Wilders...they actually have pedigrees even the ones out of prime like Rahman and Byrd we’re still winning fights. You forgot his best wins like Chagaev and Chambers. That’s besides the Whyte win. Someone like Breazele or Stiverne isn’t what I’d call a quality win.

    I wrote Chambers and Chagaev right in the post. Rahman was beyond shot. You probably didn’t watch that fight.

    Enlighten me brother. I don’t think that’s a thing.

    As weird as his posts are, that is real. There was a situation where Lewis was retiring and Vitali and Sanders were top three, so I think Ring Magazine called the winner lineal.
