Wilder's resume is not THAT bad. Wilder is also a great fighter.

    The guys on his resume are not terrible. I think Stiverne, Szpilka, and Washington were good scraps. I also think Molina showed up to really fight.

    Stiverne was a big guy that could actually box and had some serious power. Stiverne was a dangerous opponent and Wilder put on a defensive masterpiece. He showed how good he can be when he's on his A game.

    Szpilka was that Polish con that could box and was slick in there. Szpilka also a brought a lot of heart and fortitude into the fight, but Wilder was able to both outbox him and knock him out with a single shot that was really a great shot.

    Washington was doing everything right, using movement, doubling the jab and honestly I thought he was winning early on, until Wilder landed one punch, lol. At that moment it looked like Washington was scared as hell and knew he lost the fight.

    Wilder is serious. He's more athletic than all the rest of the heavies because he can punch move and duck. He also has every punch in the book.

    Klitscho and Joshua are almost carbon copies of one another. They are both stiff as hell and can't throw body punches to save their lives. Joshua is tough as hell and he's young and has a lot of confidence, but he's never seen anyone like Wilder. Wilder is not just a body that can be rolled over. You try to roll over Wilder and you'll be rolling all over the floor, especially if you can't move that well.

    Fury can move and box and would probably beat Joshua, assuming it's the Fury we saw against Klitschko, but I think Wilder is just too quick for Fury.

    Don't get me wrong, Wilder has his faults, as he could work on his jab and that counter right hand, and really take advantage of his potential. He could also learn things from some of the other great defensive fighters and tighten up his defense a little, but we need to recognize that Wilder is serious.

    I think Wilder is the most explosive heavyweight since Tyson and we should really be pushing to see his fights and turn him into a superstar.

    I agree with Wilders resume being not that bad. I disagree that he is a great fighter. He's too flawed for me but then again he could go undisputed with 50 and 0 with those flaws, then, I would have to give him his props as one of the greatest. Thats my standard for greatness. Gold standard ;)

    You have a few good points I agree with.

    However, many of your other points can't be proven until he starts fighting the top guys.

    No offence. I find him explosive and exciting and am waiting for him to step up. I just like riding him as he has taken longer than any other boxer to step up then I can remember.

    Wilder has a good resume for a fighter in the number 1 contender category. As a 5 defence champion though, it is rather poor. I like Wilder because his fights are always fun to watch. He's quick on his feet and has decent handspeed and power. But I'm not sure he puts his attributes to the best of use. He does a lot of dumb things in there. I don't think he has 1 punch knockout power at the top level though. I also don't think he's quite good enough to accurately land often enough to produce knockouts at the top level. If he beats any other title holder then it's probably by decision.

    Its so sad its funny.

    I can't recall such a easy route by any other fighter ever.

    I mean keeping your zero is important but there comes a point where one just looses credibility and Wilder hit that point long ago.

    If we exclude the Klitschko fight, I would say Wilder's list of wins is similar to Joshua's.

    And I wouldn't personally count the Klitschko fight for anything as Wlad was so over the hill.

    It's worth noting however, that Joshua had less trouble with his opponents.

    Although, I personally believe Wilder chooses to fight in a less effective way to showboat and entertain.

    Mayweather may go 50 and 0 too with a McGregor win? A GREAT fighter is ACTUAL skills and who you defeated.( i know you dont thin Wilder is) ..Wilder is far from that standard...come'on...ppl....SMH.


    Mayweather is a ATG...no matter what...end of. Wildr is HEAVYWEIGHT champion....he shoouldnt be taking WARM up fights at this point hes done exactly that.


    Wilders resume not that bad????Well really against who and what time frame????You guys keep running from me but here are the same questions?

    Who has wilder defeated?

    What is his best win since turning pro?

    Why does he manipulate fights that cant be made AT that time frame ?

    why did he SELF admit to not wanting Wlad( though he was slick) back in 2014 BEFORE he champion...but now rants about unification?

    I will agree his resume ISN'T as bad as everyone on here makes it sound. but I don't think hes a great fighter. if he can't knockout the guy hes gonna get outboxed easily. 2 many flaws..

    Wonderful technique, and is clearly undefeated because of his wonderful punching technique

    His defence is really strong too, goes back in a straight line with his hands in front of him and his chin in the air...thats always the best defence.

    Go by the evidence of your own eyes people, he is THE number 1 GOAT at HW

    Wilder can beat almost every wino in the alley...................he has had five voluntary title defenses in a row! A record! Wilder is a fraud................

    Half this board picked Stiverne to beat Wilder. Like it or not Wilder holds the most prestigious heavyweight alphabet title (whatever that means). Dildo Whyte can call out the WBC heavyweight champion, is that how things work now?

    He's the biggest con in boxing, who seems to be protected by the WBC. 5 defences and he's not faced a top 10 challenger yet. Its even debatable Stiverne was not top ten during that time, he has a poor record and got lucky vs another undeserving title contender in arreola.

    I know one thing, Stiverne is not top ten right now in HW boxing, and for him to get a rematch from not even fighting for it is a disgrace to that belt. It means nothing.
