Sorry, I forgot we're on NSB. Arguing with facts is frowned upon here.
Anointing a 37 year old , barely top10 contender, as best win of the bunch is obviously the way to go. Wonder who Stiverne's best win is. I hope it was a highly ranked fighter in his prime, not some mediocre over the hill guy.Comment

GGG and not even close. Stivern is maybe comparable to Macklin. GGG has atleast 6 wins better than Wilder.
Even a win over Povetkin would not push Wilder's resume over GGG's.Comment

If you go to boxrec who may not be perfect but they are neutral, you will see than GGG's rersume is about 100 times better than Wilder's resume. Boxrec is the only one that ranks all boxers in the world in each weight class. Most rating places just rank the top 10 or 15 boxers which lets out almost all of Wilder's opponents. Boxrec ranks some of Wilder's opponents as low as 400th. The guy Wilder won his piece of the title from was ranked 10th by boxrec and he is the only top 10 guy Wilder ever fought. The rest of the guys Wilder fought on the way up or in title defenses aren't even close to being rated in the top 10 or even the top 15 in the world. GGG has fought his share of bums like all boxers sometimes do. The difference is GGG has KOed a number of legitimate top 10 world rated middleweights. Lemieux was rated the 5th best middleweight in the world when GGG KOed him and he is still ranked 7th. Murray was rated 6th at middleweight when GGG stopped him and he is currently ranked 5th at 168. Geale was ranked 6th in the world when GGG KOed him. Wade was ranked 11th and Macklin was ranked 10th when GGG KOed them. A couple of other guys GGG KOed in title defenses were also near or at top 10 in the world when he fought them. He doesn't only fight bums like his haters falsely say.Comment

I don't want to accuse you of being blinded by a paper trinket. Because we all know, the lineage of the current WBC title at HW is beyond joke. It literally means nothing.
Casting the worthless belt aside..
So, explain to me why you think Stiverne was such a good win? Its true that he was expected to beat Wilder. But thats not because he was good, we just assumed Wilder was a lot worse due to his awful resume.
Stiverne's best win is Chris Arreola. A top 30 HW. The only reason he was allowed to fight for a paper WBC belt is because he beat Seth Mitchell, who was never to be seen again.
The same Arreola we see here, losing against Kassi (the scorecards universally condemned):
So tell me, what above screams out 'quality'Comment
