Why is Wilder still considered elite?
Collapse

he went through the division like a hot knife through butter? he had one good win his entire career. i dont consider that going through a division.
Casuals always fixate on relative measures... Ranked, unranked are subjective measures and mean little with respect to a talent pool that is perpetually diminished. Ortiz was hyped because he did not have any losses and went through the division like a hot knife through butter. Joyce and Ruiz are not above Ortiz in some vast separate way, Ruiz won, and Joyce? I don't know one can say he is "better" or worse... Ortiz was ducked also before Wilder... something to think about. Ortiz fought very well against Wilder... and Ruiz is in his prime while Ortiz is in hias twilight.Comment

Only to idiots who try to misuse them... You can make all kinds of subjective tea... This guy ranked here, the other guy here... Interesting aside: Did you know that to craft razor blades for shavers is a pretty exacting process? And in fact there are precious few of these facilities that produce these razors. Essentially? Despite many brands, labels, etc... Virtually all shaving blades are crafted in a few facilities...
check the ring rankings from when wilder and joshua both became champ to now. lets just look at all the top 5 guys from 2015 till now
did wilder fight klit? no. joshua did
did wilder fight pulev? no. joshua did
did widler fight povetkin? no. joshua did
did wilder fight parker? no. joshua did
did wilder fight whyte? no. joshua did
did wilder fight ruiz? no. joshua did
did wilder fight usyk? no. joshua did
did wilder fight joyce? no. neither did
did wilder fight joshua? no. joshua cant fight himself?
did wilder fight ortiz? yes. joshua no(ortiz ducked)
did wilder fight fury? yes(fury was ranked 7 in the first fight)
facts are a very dangerous thing to some people i guess
This situation is analogous to Joshua and Wilder, and any other heavyweight right now. Everybody is drinking from the same well... The well is poisoned with weakness, and that is what we see. It does not matter what rank this guy, or that guy has. Wilder has fought the same level of comp as other marquee heavyweights. That is a fact.
What idiots do is use these political patroniage boxing groups that make money from liscensing. It is still the same fighters...Comment

KO % etc. Wilder has not faltered. Fury is at the top of the heap... Usyk is close by. When you make ******ed statements like the above you could lose credability... But you never had any to begin with so I guess it is no harm.Comment

im not moving any goal posts. you are the one giving meaning to things that are meaningless. i dont care about title defenses buddy. go to a sven ottke page if you want to brag about sh-itty title defenses. thats on you. you keep saying no one can match wilders accomplishments which makes no sense to me cause he has only beaten 2 top 10 opponents, 1 was pretty good and the other was mediocre at best. i can find a lot of guys with better accomplishments than that so not sure what you mean by saying no one can match him? ruiz literally beat his best win and he beat joshua who was #1. thats 1 guy right there, furys resume craps all over widlers, joshuas craps all over wilders. if zhang had gotten the close decision over hrgovic he would have a better resume than wilder so what im saying is its not that hard to be on wilder's level. you just are overrating him because he beat a lot of crappy fighters, but he doesnt have the quality. quality over quantity any day
Yet again, the point is that no matter how you move the goalposts, only AJ has fought better opponents, and none of the other heavyweights have managed to match Wilder's accomplishments. If the division is full of bums and everyone else has even worse opposition, why haven't they done as well as Wilder if it's so easy? For that matter, since it's so easy, where's YOUR pro record at?
It's fact that Wilder still has more fights against top ranked opponents than Fury or Ruiz, Usyk started at cruiser and only has AJ at heavyweight, and NONE of them have been able to match his accomplishments.Comment

you literally just got owned buddy. i said no one takes the wbc rankings seriously and you post up the frickin wbc rankings! unbelievable! everyone in your own thread is laughing at you and pointing out how ****** you are for using the wbc rankings. you cant see that? you must be a glutten for punishment. those rankings are trash. lets post up the ring rankings and see shall we?
A win comes in this world when your opposition begins goal moving and circular, self affirming, logic. You will never admit defeat, no one does here, but, I suggest you never read this interaction from beginning to end again because if you do you risk losing this delusion you keep to stop yourself from seeing what a cro-magnon you are.
This friend, was absolutely one sided, we can both agree there. Self aware? control? Yeah, all the elements are there. One of us is a legend and the other's just been here a long ass time, and that sure as **** shows.Comment

lol, splitting straws again... OHHH!!! he wasn't ranked in the rematch (poof!!) you are the perfect casual idiot that eats up these "rankings" which mean nothing... What changed with Stiverne? He lost a fight! But that ranking is fodder for an argument about the inherent ability of the man... LIKE he magically WAS TRANSFORMED when the boxing council changed his standing. What a moronie!

dammmmnnn!!!! Daggum once again has to take on another owner...
He's still had 6 fights against Ring ranked opponents, which is more than Tyson Fury or Andy Ruiz. Of the current champions, only AJ has fought better opponents, and his record isn't actually that good there either. Maybe Usyk has fought better opponents, but it's close there. And none of them have managed to match Wilder's accomplishments in an admittedly weak division. You move the goalposts left and right. Like, you say Stiverne is unrated in the second fight, but didn't bother to count him for the first fight when he was rated, which was already enough to disprove your claim. And you conveniently left out the fact that Stiverne was dropped from the rankings for lack of activity, not because better guys came along.Comment

Moving those posts again! Listen to what you claimed about Wilder and what you claim now. Nobody was putting Wilder above, you were trying to put him below and you got handled! So now? suddenly? you turn tail and claim "You guys were saying Wilder was in a class by himself!" No... You wanted to play the rankings game, I showed you that Bermaine was ranked, and if someone like me, who is an idiot about rankings, knows that Stiverne was ranked... What does it say about you and the basis for your downgrade of Wilder?

I will gladly give up my share of Daggum, for that piece of runny Brie covered in new mold that has languished in your refrigerator for the past 6 months... Is it a deal? You do not even have to throw a beer in.
