      Wilder is not a quality win, no way.
      You might had missed the first Fury/Wilder fight when Fury got knockdown a couple of times even at the last round.

      Wilder lacks in a lot of departments but that power is legit and it is there until the final bell. That has to be recognized.

        Both were ranked top 5 by Ring, TBRB and any other respectable ranking system.

        Those are just your opinions, likely influenced by the fact you dislike Wilder. I think the guy’s a fool too, but he’s an extremely dangerous HW with quality accolades.

        The facts show it was a quality win. Fury #1 with Ring #2 with TBRB defeated Wilder #2 with Ring, #1 with TBRB. Wilder was also 41-0 with 40 KO’s and and had made 10 defences of his title. Facts are facts...

If Wilder isn't a quality win at heavyweight, then there aren't but two or three available 'quality' wins in the division.
          Completely agree guys. Like him or not you can’t deny what he’s achieved.

            I’m a big Bivol fan but I wouldn’t say either of those guys represent quality wins.

            Neither have won world titles yet for Smith at least who I expect to pick up the WBO strap when he eventually fights Vlasov.

                Fair enough.

                Maybe I just like Smith enough that when I saw Bivol completely dismantle him I thought, "Dang. That was a heck of a win."

                  I was thinking Inoue with Donaire and Narvaez but after checking again Narvaez was older at the time than I remembered him being so maybe the win is not as good as I remember.

                    Russell has held a world title for 5 years making 5 defences and Linares is a 4 weight 5 time champion. I think they’re two quality wins.

                    I’d agree both guys are below the truly elite fighters but they were still quality wins.

                      I debating adding that one myself. Narvaez looked like an old man in that fight though.
