Wilder isn't close to Fury in resume. He's fought one halfway decent opponent, Stiverne. Otherwise, his resume is littered with stiffs, a couple of mediocre has-beens, and never-was Malik Scott, who basically just laid down on cue. Fury is far better than any Wilder opponent, and would likely expose his glass jaw - if his own suspect chin didn't let him down first!
Hard to make a realistic argument Fury's got a substantially better resume, per my initial post, at least without making arguments like fights were fixed etc that aren't generally accepted by anyone but some in the blogging community and are impossible to prove. There's a big gap after their top respective 3 and 4 best opponents, so after that they aren't really worth comparing, although Wilder has faced more lower leverl opposition than Fury. So its the top 4 best opponents of each that is worthy of review. Tough to argue Chisora is as good as Stiverne. Tough to argue Scott isn't at least close to Cunningham. Even tougher to argue Duhaupas isn't better than Hammer, since he beat a guy who beat Hammer's best win better than Hammer did. The only real argument is Johnson is better than Wilder's 4th best win. That's not a compelling argument that Wilder "isn't close" to Fury in opp. You can say Wilder should have done more as champ, or that Fury tried to face more top HW's than Wilder has, but in terms of who they've actually faced, they are very close and it's not debatable using logic instead of emotion.
:smoke "Boxing Dives impossible to prove" anyone that's not blind knows the truth!! Wilder vs Scott was just like Tyson vs Seldon ... pure scripted WWE style and a "Title Eliminator" and even better... Scott had just gotten KOd by Chisora!!! Funny but still SAD!!! :yep
