We're talking about AJ's top 5 - now, let's talk about Deontay's top 5 wins.
For me:
Ortiz
Stiverne I
Duhaupas
Spzilka
Liakhovich
I have to agree, He really doesn't have a solid 5 just like Joshua doesnt..Thats why both really need each other
1. Ortiz
2. Stiverne I
3. Don't care
4. Don't care either
5. Same as above.
It's pretty mediocre (that's putting it mildly) but somehow he's still one of the top two fighters in the division. Says more about the state of the division tbh.
Fans are looking at his resume incorrectly. For Wilder (at the moment), it's quantity over quality. That's all gonna change as Wilder defends his title and becomes the kind of the HW division.
You should never put quantity over quality. AJ would have beaten every can on Wilder's resume as easily as Wilder did - but he also beat Wlad and Parker, who are head and shoulders better than anybody Wilder has beaten.
A juiced up version of Povetkin and on a week's notice.
It was a juiced up version of Ortiz who beat Jennings, but that doesn't stop you rating Ortiz as Wilder's best win ... because of that one result.
And it must be because of that one result you rate him so highly, because Ortiz has won nothing and beaten nobody else of any note in his entire career, amateur or pro, to justify the hype he gets from Wilder fanboys.

Olympic Bronze Medallist and has been in pro boxing since 2008.
Career best win of Ortiz in 40 fights and won the title in his 33rd fight..
The other guy is an Olympic Gold Medallist, has half of the fights and has Wlad and Parker on his resume and has been in pro boxing since 2013.
It's not even debatable that AJ has the better resume compared to the yrs of experience..
Having said that, Wilder is improving and that's a good news to HW fans as it makes up for good fights between him and AJ & Fury..
I'd go
1. Ortiz
2. Duhaupas
3. Stiverne 1
4. Washington
5. Szpilka
Malik Scott would've probably made the list if that had been an actual win and he hadn't taken a dive

1. Ortiz
2. Making Povetkin cheat
3. Stivernne 1
4. Arreola
5. Washington
Wilder hasn't fought enough quality opponents. I don't think anyone can dispute that. He did beat the 3rd/4th best HWT in the world right now and made the 4th/5th best cheat.
1 . Ortiz ( Best win Jennings 2015 ) No fight since recent match vs Wilder .
2. Washington ( Best win Eddie Chambers 2016 ) One loss since Wilder to Miller .
3 . Stiverne ( Best win Arreola 2014 ) After Wilder contraversial win over Derrick Rossey .
4. Duhaupas ( Best win Helenius 2016 ) Won 3 since Wilder against ?????
5 . Szpilka ( Best win Adamek 2014 ) One loss after Wilder to Kownacki .
Duhaupas got knocked out cold in 6 rounds by Povetkin after beating Helenius.
The prime British Gold medalist Audley Harrision must be up there : he was on a tear winning the UK HW 'Prize-fighter' tournament, he beat a prime Derric Rossy -- remember Luis Ortiz ducked Rossy when he seen Derric hurt and drop Bermane Stiverne, but this was years after Audley soundly beat him.
We can include a prime Gerald Washington, with wins over Eddie Chambers and Amir Mounsour -- yes it was a win that draw was BS.
Lol too obvious with the trolling there bud, try to be more subtle
