    It's obviously Takam, but there are better ways to bash Wilders resume than this.
    Compare Wilders competition to Marcelo Luiz Nascimento's. He has been in with: Tyson Fury, Charr, Tor Hamer, Joseph Parker, Eddie Chambers, Whyte, Takam, Kuzmin, Chisora, Duhaupas, Wach, Rudenko, Simon Kean and Bogdan Dinu.
    If he had won all these fights he would have the best resume in the division by a mile. Of course he lost every single one of these fights and has in fact only won once outside of Argentina.

    Takem of course, Wilder only fights winos from the alley! Wilder's best opponent will be Old Man Ortiz who is 50 years old, but still will be his best opponent...............Wilder has HAYMON BOXING INSURANCE, so he is guaranteed a win, by hook or by crook................Haymon fighters always have the advantage, they own everything!

    Brazil. And Nascimento wasn't competitive in any of those fights (at least at the top end). Takam was. That's the difference.

    well takam has joshua so takam. thats all there is to it.

    takam has 7 years on him though. as been said, resume to resume should be matched fairly.

    You're right it is Brazil. I know Nascimento wasn't competive, unlike Takam. My point is just that there are many journeyman out there who have fought better competition than the elite heavyweights and that is the question in the thread.

    Joshua's timing, stamina, and handspeed suffer when he comes in over 245.

    Wilder has fought as a pro 4 years longer than Joshua, yet is still very reluctant to take on a decent prime opponent. There is no excuse for him anymore. He's not getting any younger, he's nearing the end of his own prime.

    And since Wilder has virtually no fan following in the USA, his handlers are eventually going to cash him out against Joshua in the UK (even though the thought of fighting Joshua in the UK probably terrifies Wilder).
