    hes not with any of those guys. only one hes close to in percentage is holyfield who went to decision the last 8 fights against top 10 guys cause he was 40 plus and holyfield still has way more total kos against top 10 figthers.


    10 title defenses but he only beat one opponent in the top 10. ever heard the phrase quality over quantity?

    he begged for fights in the media...but what happened when the contracts were in front of him? 100 million for the fight he begged for? what more can you ask for oh wait he turned it down. he also blatantly ducked whyte and a huge payday with help from the wbc to get him more pbc bums. they just skipped right over him to install a pbc bum as mandatory. i dont know one fighter that he actually tried to fight that was good that turned him down. can you give me details of any contracts he offered to them? it seems to me he wanted to portray the "ill take on all challengers" tough guy persona but it was just a persona. performance art if you will.
    Let me address the second part of your comment...w.r.t contracts and fighters avoiding Wilder

    1. Povetkin tested positive...fight cancelled
    2. Ortiz tested positive, fight cancelled. Wilder fought him anyway to help him
    3. Ruiz refused...complained about the Money not being enough
    4. Parker refused a unification against Wilder and fight Joshua instead for more money I believe at the time. Understandable
    5. AJ was offered 50M and turned it down. Even Fury made fun of AJ at the time
    6. Usyk said no...he said either Fury or nothing...understandable
    7. Ngannu said no

    The dude tried to make the biggest fights for legacy and got shut out.

        To be honest, from what I have seen, Joshua takes him out in 5-6 rounds. Parker almost did it. Parker is pillow fisted heavyweight. I believe many heavyweights take Wilder out at this point.
