    I would pick Deontay Wilder as his record indicates his effective ability to knock out opponents and is highly regarded to be the hardest puncher of all time. The thing is, he should be judged based off the quality of competition and "who" he knocks out.. So in conclusion, with all the hype and praise he gets makes him overrated imo

    Olksander Usyk.
    He's already rated #1 I believe. Like he's going to just waltz in here from CW and fight for the title?
    Its shameful really.....and all the while Dillion Whyte continues to be passed over

    I agree, I forgot to add him on the list tbh. He is really not proven and the Heavyweight division is completely different to the Cruiserweight division.

    What hype and praise are you talking about? 90% of this board are threads about how trash he is

    I don't know what you are talking about. In American Wilder is almost unknown. Boxing is not a mainstream sport here. It's not talked about and it's not on TV.

    Boxing in the UK is a more talked about sport so I get to see a lot of casual and pundit discussions on Wilder

    AJ by far, hes getting knocked out again real soon, everytime un prepare over weight Ruiz landed AJ looked hurt, a well prepared Ruiz will stop him, even Fury might stop him and Wilder will definitely put him to sleep.

    Maybe but now AJ has adopted caution into his gamelan his chances seem a bit better even though I agree on what your saying

    You don't see casuals talking about Joshua ? Wilder deserves as much hype as anyone else in the division. Resume isn't everything

    Yea of course I do, Joshua is overrated as well, we live in an overrated division unfortunately. A resume is the only ground that can be used to assess levels
