Where would Wilder rank amongst Anthony Joshua's best wins

Indeed.

Wilder did better against

Helenius than Chisora and Whyte

Breazeale than Joshua and Wallin post-Wilder

Fury than Wlad

Stiverne than Joyce post-Wilder 2

Arreola than Vitali

Duhaupas and Washington than Miller post-Wilder

Scott than Chisora and Ortiz post-Wilder

Firtha than Povetkin and Fury

Liakhovich, Szpilka and Ortiz than Jennings

Manswell than Chagaev

Morales, Liakhovich, Arreola and Ortiz than Ruiz post-Wilder

 

Wilder would be Joshua's best win. 2nd best win at the very worst (after Wlad).

Anyone saying lower than 2nd is letting their emotion blind them.

 

I get what you're saying, triangle theories can be used to prop up whatever fighter you favor. Bottom line is other than a past prime Wlad and Povetkin, none of AJ's wins(or DW) have very strong resumes. I'm going with what my eyes tell me, that Wilder is a notch above the Whytes/Parkers/Ruiz's of the world.

 

#2 behind Wlad. People don't seem to realize that Wilder is getting old. By time AJ and Wilder fight, even if they fight next, Wilder is only 3 years younger than the version of Wlad that Aj fought. On top of that he just had 2 knockout losses. A knockout win against Helenius doesn't do anything for me to say Wilder is back in top form and ready for a title shot.

 

That didn't effect Wlad in his fight with AJ.

 

I'm not sure I'd put him above Wlad, even when he was 41.
