A serious question. Take away Deontay Wilder's paper title reign, and "10 defences against potatoes doe!" In actual fact, Dillian Whyte defended his "Interim" title against stiffer opposition than Wilder defended the full title. In my humble opinion, anyway. So how about it? How do people feel about this? Whyte's best wins versus Wilder's best?
Alexander Povetkin
Oscar Rivas
Joseph Parker
Dereck Chisora (x2)
Robert Helenius
or
Luis Ortiz (x2)
Dominic Breazeale
Bermane Stiverne (x2)
Artur Szpilka
Gerald Washington

Feel free to change the names of Wilder's opponents if you think he beat anyone better than I listed.
Whyte's list contains two former World champions and two former European champions, one Olympic champion and two Olympians in total. Wilder's list contains one former World champion, and nothing else of note, no Olympians either.
