    Can't say that because some of them are too old or inactive to be considered that... so crypt keepers
    So Ishida actually counts as an opponent? Proksa was his best win lost to Mora lmao
    and Sergios leftovers of Macklin who he got no credit for beating are somehow good opponents

      He has fought bums and at 27 has developed some bad habits which will be hard to iron out without a really good trainer and some frankly better competition to punish those mistakes so he knows he can't continue with them.

      I don't think he will ever be a good fighter, his biggest and frankly only asset IMO is his huge right hand. It is devastating but aside from that he is lacking in every other area.

        The dude has less than 60 total fights (unless I'm mistaken), amateur and pro combined. He beat a former olympian and title holder in his last two fights, I think they are stepping him up gradually but at an appropriate pace for his limited experience.

          Yeah at 22. Wilder is 28 this Autumn (Fall) and hasn't fought even opponents on the level of Miguel Vasquez or Lovemore N'Dou.

          Golovkin isn't fighting nobodies either, Proksa and Macklin were both top 10 MWs when he fought them.

He needs to be chin checked, he does not appear to have an exceptionally strong jawline or neck and is very light for his height, no legs. Doesn't always mean **** but if he has a weak chin he will need to become something of a defensive master like Wlad or Lewis to survive at the top.
          He has been chin-checked, he went down.

            The Americans are dying for a heavyweight superstar. I have no problem with moving Wilder slowly.

              Proksa who just lost to Mora and Macklin who is most well known for being KO'd by Sergio?
              He must have the best resume at MW

                Macklin who lost a split decision in Germany v Sturm which many felt he won.

                Leave the bias J, Wilder hasn't fought the HW equivalent of #7 Macklin, that would be an Helenius or Chagaev.

                  Proksa was a very good fighter when Golovkin. He took some big shots from Golovkin and his courage kept making him get up and continue to fight.

                  When Mora fought Proksa I guarantee he wasn't the same Proksa anymore. Even though it was only 2 fights ago I think Golovkin ruined him.

                  Golovkin has the better resume over Wilder.

                  there is a reason why he is considered close to the top 10 p4p while Wilder is not.

                    I wouldn't put GGG close to ten pfp yet. And yeah he does have a better resume as of now but not by too much.
