    I think their competition has been similar. Sure, Wilder didn't face many Top 10s, but most of his opponents were live dogs from top20, with most of them having at least 1 solid win on their resume.

    AJ beat a few guys who are good as well, but saying that a joke like Martin or unproven Breazeale are better than Wilder's opposition is wrong. Overall, Wilder's comp has been better.

    I like AJ a lot more than Wilder and think he's a better fighter, but right now, Wilder's resume is stronger.

        Yes, Wilder's resume is weak. But yes, he was willing to fight Povetkin, in Russia. He gets some credit for that

        I don't see anyone claiming Deontay is a p4per (if anyone does, they are . He's a young, largely unproven champion, who has looked very sloppy at times. But he's big, and physically gifted. He needed some seasoning, probably still does, but it is getting to be put up or shut up time.

        I would like to see Wilder step up too, but Im not gonna call him a bum just yet.

                were you talking about wawrzyk then? Was that going to be his signature win?

                  They have both beaten bums so far really. Not big disparity in their competition. Biggest difference is that DW has been a pro for 8 years and still boxes at the same level as someone who's been pro for 3.

                  That's embarrassing and he's a total fraud until proven otherwise.

                    Deontay Wilder has only ever faced one top ten Ring or Transnational opponent, and that was Bermane Stiverne who isn't really very good and has never fought any top ten HW other than Wilder.

                    Anthony Joshua turned pro 4 years after Wilder. He's YOUNGER by 4 years and had no more amateur experience than Wilder, but he's already set to fight ATG Wladimir Klitschko, who has been ranked in the Ring top 3 for 11 years.

                    I think Joshua's past opponents like Breazeale and Martin are better than Wilder's last opponent, poor old shot-to-pieces Cristobal Arreola.
                    Martin with the proper training probably beats a guy like stiverne,ive broke this guys career down along with Takam and these guys literally have little importance in the total years they have been boxing. Joshua is the new Mike Tyson,derailing promising careers making it LOOK easy,so you know how that goes " Hes fighting bums "...lmao
