Comments Thread For: Wilder Remains as WBC 1, Whyte Drops To 5 in Rankings

[removed]

Wilder's only loss is to Fury, the best heavyweight in the world.

Shyte lost to old man Povetkin.

It's only right that the Bronze Bomber be ranked #1 for now.

Facts...

Fury is levels above everyone else, and there's no shame in losing to him.

Wilder>Whyte

We can list on one hand missing two fingers the fighters in history who won't die by a Wilder right hand.

He absolutely is #1.

He has only fought one decent fighter in his entire career and lost. He's a number two if ever there was one.

Ruiz stop AJ in 7 Fury probably stops AJ in 4

Because Ruiz and Fury have the same stance and fighting style? Truly clueless.

Lol.... 3 rounds earlier than Wilder, interesting.Fury is not a big puncher he only stops b#ums. Fantastic boxer but let’s be honest he is not a knock out specialist. Mind you I’m not saying Wilder is a b#um but one thing you can always guarantee if you are remotely durable is that you will definitely make it to hear the final bell.

As for Ruiz you have to remind me again who he is , I watched his last fight I think and he was awful. I think he lost to a random British guy

Not sure how serious you are but after watching that video I think I could beat you, let alone Wilder.

Wilder's nut has been cracked.

Like Tyson - he benefited from the intimidation factor, but now he has been defeated (comprehensively) he will lose fights to much lower ranked fighters.

He will never win another World title.

WBC no.1 is irrelevant, as Whyte proved

If Wilder loses again, he’ll be dropped fairly quickly

Nah, unless you are Whyte it is very irrelevant. PBC/haymon controls the WBC at HW. Ortiz hasn;t beaten anyone of note, he lost twice in two years under the WBC HW, but he never moves from that number 3. And its not like the person he lost to had beaten anyone else of note, in fact Povetkin's resume is better than Wilder, Ortiz put together.

Probably out of date but where did "boxingscene staff" find the current rankings?

[Marchegiano]

... WBC has Povetkin as "interim"...

... while WBO, IBF, WBA don't even rank Wilder...

Or Povetkin and Whyte.
