Homie you already know the answer is no for me. Wilder would have to beat Fury and AJ for me to consider him. I would have to see where he is after each fight but to be completely honest, I doubt I will ever rank him in my top 10 given the way he fights.

His power is phenomenal but his skill set and ring IQ are way too low for me. He punches too wide, can't really set up shots. I don't know how he improves at age 32.

Nah mayn you're being unfair irrespective of your reasons. Beating Ortiz, Fury, and AJ in consecutive fights is enough to argue for p4p number 1 nevermind the top 10.

That's a serious resume and you can't beat those guys if you don't have skill irrespective of your power. It's the same reason Lemule couldn't beat GGG and Saunders, he has insane power and size but his lack of skill showed when he faced top competition and that power became meaningless.

If Wilder beats both Fury and Wilder, points or KO, the lack of skill argument just goes out the window at that point. Anything else beyond that is just bias whether you can admit it to yourself or not.
