Why do people rate Anthony Joshua higher than Deontay Wilder?

[hugh grant]

People shouldn't rate wilder higher on basis of people knowing he hits hard enough to down Josh? Wilder has beat Ortiz. It's not fair to put him above Josh. Bloody best Ruiz first and then Josh. If not Josh, beat Joyce. If wilder beats Joyce I will rate wilder higher than josh.
You can't rate wilder higher, when josh wouldn't even get much credit for beating man coming off 2 KO losses. Wilder would-be seen as cherrypick

[JakeTheBoxer]

Wilder is a bum beater, he never beat anybody good.

Deontay Wilder is still a top 3 Heavyweight, AT LEAST!

Tyson Fury is obviously #1, but then what?

You rate Oleksandr Usyk at #2? Questionable, but okay.

But then who is #3? Anthony Joshua? He got embarrassingly exposed by a much smaller man? Deontay Wilder was humbled by the Gypsy King, but at least he went out on his shield, was a live dog until the end every time!

How the fook does AJ doing an Audley Harrison impression, against a man who fought at Middleweight in the Amateurs, rank higher than Wilder going down in a gunfight with the Gypsy King?

The answer is, it doesn't. And don't forget, AJ 'No Mas'ed against Andy Ruiz Jr.

1. Tyson Fury
2. Oleksander Usyk*
3. Deontay Wilder

Cause they haven’t fought. My money is on Wilder.

Cuz Joshua a buff guy

windwill wilder looks like basketball player

Curious, who did he miss that’s that good?

[NYG]

Would love to see Wilder put AJ to sleep

[F l i c k e r]

He was more likable, that's why. After that Usyk stunt though, he's probably less liked than Wilder now.

Deontay spent lockdowns being a conspiracy theorist about why Fury won

Yeah but recency bias definitely puts AJ in the cringe area after that Usyk thing. Wilder at least has gained respect for taking his two L's and coming back to box.

Have to respect Wilder for giving 3 good fights with Fury
