Let's take a fair and objective look at Wilder's resume. It is certainly not great at all, but to be honest, it's not exactly horrible. I consider his resume to be on par with Golovkin's. Let's take a look at his top 3 wins.
1 - Bermane Stiverne:
Stiverne was the hardhitting WBC champion who had only 1 loss, a freak accident against journeyman Demetrice King. Besides that, Stiverne had taken the zero of Kertson Manswell (20 wins, 15 KOs) and had twice defeated Chris Arreola, who had beat guys like Seth Mitchell and Tomasz Adamek (got robbed, though). This was a respectable win and only haters would deny that. This is a better win than any win on Golovkin's record.
2 - Malik Scott:
He got robbed against Vyacheslav Glazkov. He was winning against Chisora until the referee controversially decided to stop it. He beat Alex Leapai. Technically, Malik is now a guy with a 38-1-0 record who has proven to be an okay boxer, even though he is not great at all. Not bad for Wilder to crush him in 1 round. This is a win on par with the ones Golovkin has been getting for years.
3 - Kelvin Price:
Price was undefeated in 13 fights and had taken Tor Hamer's zero. That, and Kelvin is very big. Not bad for Wilder to crush him in 3 rounds. In no way a special win, but it's kinda okay.
When Wilder beats Johan Duhaupass, who has just defeated Manuel Charr, he will have gotten yet another win in the same league as the typical Golovkin win.
