Mauricio is a shameless Wilder fanboy lol. He doesn't even pretend to be neutral.

It would have to be wilder vs ruiz for the vacant belt right

Why not? Not sure he has much left. But he lost 2x to the best of this era, and in the most exciting HW title fight this era. Meanwhile Joshua is humiliated by a fat tub of goo, then is dominated by a cruiserweight.

You don't rank boxers based on putting up a good fight but getting battered.

You rank them based on the guys they beat. Or in Wilder's case, the guy he beat.

"You" may rank them that way but most people use common sense and a bit of extrapolation to come to the conclusion that Wilder is in fact better than Whyte despite getting beaten up. Whyte barely landed a punch before getting 1 punch KO'd, you gonna rate him above Wilder and actually think he would survive Wilder's punches when he doesn't even move his head? I seriously doubt Wilder gets KO'd by 40 year old Povetkin either.

How the hell is Wilder ranked #1 after being smoked in his last two fights?

[deathofaclown]

Hope he comes back near his best but you wonder how much those last two fights took out of him, the third Fury fight especially.

Those beatings stay with you, especially in the mid 30’s.

I highly doubt he will be the same fighter, he will still have the power to clean anyone out but beatings like that often make fighters unable to pull the trigger like they used to.

Apparently, back in the days before the internet was invented, when fans couldn't rank fighters for themselves by talking shit and posting triangle theories, they used to get guys to actually fight each other and see who won.
