Is Deontay Wilder the most overrated boxer in the world?

He only fought tomato cans and lost to a mediocre boxer like Tyson Fury who cannot compete with Frazier, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Liston. I don't know what would happen to Wilder if he faces Sonny Liston or Mike Tyson?

Update:

Klitschko is a pathetic boxer.

    No he is not over rated.  He defended his title many times and 41 of his 42 fights he won by KO.  That's a darn good KO rate.

    No he is not. He is just rated fairly. He ain't on top in the ratings

    You don't really know much about boxing do you? Klitschko has been one of the best heavyweights of the last 20 years with one of the best records. Fury is not a mediocre boxer but he did expose Wilder as a very limited fighter. But his punch power alone is undoubted. He's one of the hardest heavyweight punchers ever I think. An Fury is the number 1 heavyweight in the world right now

    Tyson Fury isn’t “mediocre” that statement is asinine.  You must be one of these pro black morons who only see race in the sport.

    1. Fury is not mediocre. He outboxed Wladimir Klitschko and is a really talented fighter.

    Deontay may have been a touch overrated but he built up a rep fighting some decent fighters. Was he ever in the league of ali, hell no. But remember, Tyson lost to buster Douglas and I'd put wilder ahead of buster. If the peak Tyson turns up, Tyson wins. If the Tyson that lost to Douglas, commander cranium and lennox turns up, wilder wins.

    If wilder fought Liston, it would depend on how much Liston has been bunged (yes I do believe he took money to take a dive in the 2nd Ali fight). However Liston Kos him

    Edit - I agree on Wlad. But he was the best around at the time. He was king at a time the heavys were weak. End of the day though he was the best and fury outboxed him becomming the best. Fury is number 1 in the world at the moment. Calling him mediocre is a joke. Wlad was better than Buster Douglas (who beat Mike Tyson)
