    World champs whos resumes are not as good as some of the contenders

    When I say contenders, I do not mean former champs with good resumes but fighters who have yet to win world titles but can arguably have better resumes then a champ in their divisions.

    Example

    D Wilder is the WBC HW champ, but I do not think his resume is as good as say T Fury who has yet to challenge for a title.

    Other examples?

    Keith Thurman resume more impressive than Kell Brooks.

    Do you mean today fighters or old fighters too like Burley and David Tua.

    Stiverne is better than TF....
     
  4. Darnell Boone has earned a title shot on his resume alone in my opinion. He has given everybody that matters from 160-175 trouble.

    Why do you think overall he is better? Yes there is the Arreola win but does that compare to Furys combined record?

    fury has fringe contender / journeyman chisora, 2 wins as his high point. neither win is world level.


    Wildman has an actual title holder win, regardless of the strength of that opponent, it is a world level win.
