I know Wilder would probably be bigger. Heavyweight with 97% ko that leaves dudes a twitching mess on the floor
If Wilder were in the UK he would be twice as big as Joshua is right now
Joshua was already a real household name like that before he fought Charles Martin
you cant even name the guys that he was knocking out but the simple narrative of 'hes knocked out everybody hes fought 
' 'hes never gone past round 3 ' had everybody like Part of it is in America you've got so many sports channels and its part of why some fighters dont shine as much. In the UK the main tv company is Sky and theres only 1 sports channel where all sports news is posted (and trust that channel reports news on every sport inc. NFL, NBA) so its easier for people to remember faces when they're in the news all the time whereas in America you guys have like ESPN 1, 2, FS1, FOX Sports etc and some might not even report on boxing

Thanks breh
Yep...he just missed Roman Martinez, and Jason Sosa is also a former Champion as well.
Nobody in Boxing history has fought this level of competition within only 10 fights.
2 Olympic GOLD Medals, 2x World Champion over 2 Divisions, 5 Champions defeated within his first 9 victories...and everyone was ranked within the Ring Top 10 (including 4 of the 5 being still ranked amongst the top 5 in the division at the time of the fight) with a combined record of 105-3-8 at the time of the fight.
We are witnessing history 1 fight at a time
We are watching one of the greatest fighters of this decade operate, in his prime, and a portion of the Boxing community has forced themselves to dislike him

2x...and defending
Right there with this. I am not a boxing historian, but Lomachenko has to have one of the best resumes ever after 10 fights. Does he need to do more in the future, yes. Does he need to find the A level opponents, yes. He needs to do a lot more to prove his final verdict as a pro fighter, but right now the dude is 10 fights in and is fighting top flight competition regularly and making it look easy. He is showing skills that put him in the top handful of boxers today and if pans out long term he will be one of the more skilled fighters of the decade, all time, etc...but we all need to be patient and wait and see.
If you are criticizing Lomachenko because he isn't doing enough, then you are de facto admitting that he is special. What other fighters after 10 fights are you demanding this much of?

Loma's resume should not be questioned. He was thrown into the deep end and delivered. He still has Salido problems to avenge but he is as legit as they come. Top 3 p4p in my opinion.
I just need that GRJ run back

Not better than Leon Spinks for me, just for the Ali win.Right there with this. I am not a boxing historian, but Lomachenko has to have one of the best resumes ever after 10 fights.
