Would Wilder have had more respect if he had a Tommy Hearns like career at CW?

No because they'd say he's an over-sized freakish cruiserweight who's beating up smaller men. Wilder should be given a lot of credit for fighting BIGGER guys at heavyweight who outweigh him by 30 lbs. or even 50 lbs. Hell, if he fought Big Baby Miller that's like an 80 lbs. weight advantage for Big Baby?? Wilder is seen as a villain or a thug, so he's always in a no-win situation. Everyone wants him to lose, but he keeps winning... When he becomes undisputed, he's just a bum who ducked the Klitschkos. :lol1: He could very easily give up 3 figures against Miller.

You have a good point that Wilder is almost always the smaller guy because he's not built like a HW, so I don't think people would have held him fighting below HW against him.
