    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.

    Wlad at 41 had far more miles on the clock in the professional game than Wilder does now despite the fact Wilder's pushing 40. Wilder also started boxing late in contrast to Wlad, who had a long and decorated amateur career.

    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.
