He's really not though, Wlad and Povetkin were younger when AJ fought them, despite Ortiz's listed age, the situation in Cuba and the olympics is known(the reason their d.o.b gets brought forward 5years or so) and some sources say he's between 45-48. They were more proven fighters too because although the excuse was "he's avoided"(because he was on steroids mostly)who has he really beat of note? They were in better shape and better boxers in my view too. Ortiz can box but his power is his best asset, especially at this end of his career. I rate him but you're severely overrating him by saying he's better than most of Joshua's opponents. Unless you mean his less relevant opponents? I can give you twice as many "tomato cans" that Wilder has fought in his 43 fights, Ortiz was his first big risk and that was his 40th fight(sorry but you're on to a loser there). Everyone becomes a bad boxer after AJ beats him unfortunately, your posts certainly have a whiff of that about them. It was a bit ironic how you stated Parker has turned out to be "not so good" when his only losses are to AJ and Whyte, with maybe Ruiz Jr added to that list. None of them are bad fighters to lose to and he is only 27, time will tell if those losses will define him though, personally I think a protect 0 is worth less than a draw or a loss against someone decent.
Top 4? I think it's more of a top 3 and that answer is easy Fury, AJ , Wilder, the order is not really important they have to fight each other, the interesting thing about it is they are all beatable(none of them are perfect). I know he didn't start well but Usyk is the guy I have my eye on outside of that pack, he'll need to have more fights to grow into the weight but it will be interesting if he can adjust and get comfortable at the weight. Some people say he's too small but at 6ft 3 he's not the shortest heavyweight, it just depends if he can absorb the kind of power dished out.
Wilder's resume isn't weak but it's the weakest of the 3(with AJ's being the strongest), much the same way as he's not a terrible boxer but he's clearly the worst boxer of the 3. He hasn't needed to rely on anything but his right hand power, and it's easy to see why he fell in love with his power and neglected other areas of his game coming up. I did give credit for becoming much more measured and clean with that right hand since he fought Fury, he's sharpened his biggest weapon and made it more dangerous... Still though, much like how people went over the top for him learning how to jab properly 30 fights in(it's still nothing special, even at heavyweight), some go over the top with the praise. Maybe it's to balance out the stick he gets but the same goes for AJ and the ridiculous comments he gets which are far more unwarranted.
