[MikeyMike100]

No not at all. He will be remembered for his 3 fights vs Fury in which he won 0

[cushtytaz]

Nope. As others have said, his record is dog****e.

As someone on BT sport said recently: "Wilder has knocked a lot of people out, but who has he actually knocked out?" which is a funny sounding quote but it sums Wilder up very well.

[jdp28tx]

Unfortunately no. If Fury had gotten up one second later, then he could have been. A win over Fury with a string of average title defenses and the clout of highest KO% in HW history and forever being alongside the Foreman's, Shaverss etc. in punching power topics could have done it for him. But he doesn't have the quality of wins.

Its easy to have a high ko % when 98% of your fights were against bums.

If wilder can beat one of the 3, be it usyk or Josh would be good. Plus beat some of the next tier whyte, ruiz, parkers, joyce, hrgovic etc

you could say that about any heavyweight though so hes basically starting at zero.

[Sane Man]

Is this a serious question? Of course he's not an ATG.

[TMLT87]

No ****ing way.

No current HW including Fury is at that level yet.

[daggum]

whyte's resume is so much better than wilders. its so damn hilarious how hyped up this guy is. is anyone calling whyte an all time great? no because they have self respect and dignity. hes beaten parker who is better than anyone wilder has beaten. he has beaten rivas whose best win is jennings(same as ortiz lol) hes beaten helenius, chisora, povetkin. i mean its so silly how people hype wilder up and they continue to do it. its like every time he fails they just move the goalposts. paulie malignaggi pillow punching fury stops wilder OH MAH GOD WILDER HAS SUCH TOUGHNESS...what?

[hugh grant]

Yes, it's really just me basically saying I want wilder to fight these people and don't want him to retire without giving me these fights. Wilder resume is pretty much chisoras level of wins, except with less losses. And wilder hasn't fought as many good fighters as chisora has
