    Clear for Povetkin

    Whyte and Wilder are fairly close with wins - but Whyte in addition to fighting Fury fought Povetkin and Joshua. Although his “win” over Povetkin doesn’t count for much as post Covid Povetkin looked like a zombie

    Ortiz def last

    Povetkin
    Whyte
    Wilder
    Ortiz

    Ortiz has one good win so I agree with you, glad to see some with some objectivity on here. I’d say it’s close between Wilder and Povetkin, given the draw (lucky as it may be) Deontay got with Fury. Povetkin definitely has better names so I’d probably give his the nod. Whyte’s isn’t far behind.

    I think they all are quiet close (except Luis Ortiz) and it depends how You value their best win names.

    Wilder got 2 opponents from top 10 probably if I correct.
    Whyte got 2 I think but he got quiet close wins in some fights.
    Sasha Povetkin got 2 from top 10 too I think.

    Its about Your opinion about boxers like Chagaev, Stiverne, Parker and other.

    Funny but Dillian and Alexander got each other in resume wich make it even closer.

    And btw one more fact. We talking here about resume but we cant forget that Wilder avoid 2 boxers od this list 5 years together and they do all to fight with him (Povetkin and Whyte- being official contender and giving him best money in his career on that moment)
    Soo.

    I can agree with this although I think Wilder’s draw with Fury may take him above Whyte.

    Stiverne is the weakest of the ranked top 10 guys, Chagaev and Parker are better. I’d say Wilder’s wins over Ortiz and draw with Fury put him above Whyte. If he beats Parker he goes above all of them for me.

    If Wilder beat Parker clear then it off course different story. Then he is numero uno in that thread.

    Ortiz definitely last, has achieved next to nothing of note at all.

    Wilder's resume relies on having beaten Ortiz, so the weakness of Ortiz resume hurts Wilder's... The fact he hard ducked Whyte and wanted no part of Povetkin doesn't help either.

    The draw against Fury is a difficult one to rate - most serious boxing fans felt he got lucky to get a draw there, and that's with Fury visibly unfit and ring rusty... Fury having beaten Whyte just as easily as he beat Wilder in the 2nd bout (the only one of the trilogy he looked remotely fit for) counts against Whyte being any better... and on some level helps Wilder in the sense that it shows where Fury was at relative to a more proven fighter and locates Wilder nearby - plenty of Wilder fans denigrate Whyte as useless, when this kind of link is one of the few things that helps locate Wilder near a top 5 status.

    Pov clearly has the best resume here.

    It'd be very easily his best win, and it'd put him much closer to Pov for me too... He just needs to be making more of this level of fights and better to save his legacy at this point - I wish he'd been doing it years ago when he was ducking every contender who came begging.

    Wilder spent too long taking soft touches and defending against c level guys, it’s a shame because I would have fancied him against the other top contenders. Now he’s at the end of his career with only one or two big wins in a 45 fight career.

    I value resumes highly... And on resume, it's not a case of "the other top contenders" because he's not really up there.

    It looks like he probably would've been if he'd fought them, but we'll just never know, and that annoys me (the same way it does with the likes of Tank) because he had every opportunity to get bigger and better fights made and didn't want to do it.

    Fury was coming off nearly 3 years of inactivity and had to lose a 100 pounds during the camp. The fact wilder only got a draw counts against him.
