Only ESPN rank Wilder no.1, and prior to that, nobody ranked Wilder no.1. This is because Wilder’s resume, despite being a titleholder for 5 years, is critically underwhelming. Had the Povetkin fight happened, this might have been different so it’s not entirely his fault. There is also the Fury fight which most people felt he was extremely lucky to scrape a draw. But those are the current facts.
Those facts seem to contradict the foundation of your personal view, that Wilder’s claim to being the world champion is the strongest.
If the remaining criteria for you judging who is the best is simply ‘how he finishes fights’, then I, like everyone else, can safely gloss over a clear minority view
