wilders historic ranking

[daggum]

New rankings have Dubois and Zhang above wilder who falls out of the top 10. What a shame.

You're just hating.

Why is Joshua higher than Fury? and Joyce, Whyte, Povetkin, Ruiz higher than Wilder? in which parallel universe does a long reigning champion with a 95+% KO rate rank lower than people who never got the belt? Who of significance has Parker beaten and why is he ranked above Zhang given that Zhang smacked him twice? Ruiz has (or had) potential but got irresponsible post the first AJ fight.

Parker was just OK previously and only now had a great comeback. However, he has only beaten Zhang that is of significance. I am not really convinced on Wilder because he was coming off after a long layoff (or semi-retired) and very gun-shy in the fight. His other fights are just against mediocre fighters and I think Ruiz actually beat him if not for home advantage.

Who has Povetkin beaten...Hughie, Price, or Hammer...to be considered in that list?

Joshua has a better resume that's why and povetkin has 3 top 5 wins: chambers, chagaev and whyte.

No doubt this is a worse Wilder than his prime. But we don't know exactly how much worse given his best win was a guy who gets nowhere near this list.

Ability and CVwise... he's a mile off top 10. This current Wilder isn't that far removed from the best Wilder. And it's so clear how poor he is once he fights even decent fighters.

Wilder in his prime only lost to Fury. He is a shadow of himself now, like Kovalev the other week. This version of Wilder would lose to Dave Allen. Nash out
