He scored a good win over Leapai, but I feel that he needs to polish his game a bit more with some tougher opponents before taking on the 100% KO King.
First Pulev, and then the winners of Perez-Jennings and Fury-Chisora.
Sure, none of those fighters punch as hard as Wilder, but at least he'll be able to say he prepared the best he could before being retired by the Bronze Bomber.
If he trains hard enough, he might survive until round 5 and become the first man to take Wilder past 4 rounds... a worthy entry in the history books!
Heck no he's not ready. He hasn't fought or beat anyone in the top 10 yet. Maybe he can fight the Arreola/Stiverne winner and if he beats the winner of that fight then maybe he can face Wlad.
He needs a few more fights and a few that will test him into the later rounds. So far, the maximum he has fought in a fight is 4 rounds. If Wlad takes him into the later rounds, Wilder may just gas out.
Wilder's power is pretty legit so maybe he could land something big and lucky. That's pretty much it.
if he lands something he will IMO knock Wlad out
the problem is if Wlad lands something first, Wilder will be knocked out
basically its the first to the punch
How about Wlad fighting a top 10 guy? Has happened once in the last 3-4 years.
hes fought mostly ranked top 10-15 guys when not being fed ridiculous madatories
Is this thread a joke? Are you serious. You actually think Klitschko would lose to a guy who best competition is C-minus quality at best?
Yes, I would have thought that would be obvious. :lol1:

come on man Wlad will never be ready for Wilder. you see him with his jab hand at his waist? one right hand and its all over. wlad´s crumpled on the canvas drooling like an infantile ret-ard. he will stay ducking and fighting fat bums who can´t move.
Naa,,wlad would see those windmills coming from a mile away and detonate that straighter right hand down the pipe on deontay and splat,,,there he goes,, chicken legs and all

It's like bringing up a result in any sport from 10+ years ago and it having much credibility. The only guy who really destroyed Wlad out of the 3 was Sanders, and man that guy could punch and had handspeed, regardless of how out of shape or limited he looked. He almost even had iron-chinned Vitali out of there, had him hurt more than even Lewis could (and apparently they were both out of shape).
Brewster he was out on his feet against but god knows the circumstances behind that, I'm not even gonna stir the pot by mentioning the vaseline or poisoning theories in any detail, but just like the Purritty fight, it was an issue of gas...and if you are going to get hit flush with combinations by heavyweights (especially when exhausted), clearly you are going to be hurt, apart from a select few.
Anyway this stuff is irrelevant - Wlad's defense is simply incomparable to what it was in any of those fights...take into account he's mastered pacing himself, etc. These past results have no real credibility, until proven otherwise.
The question should be: Is Wilder ready for Wlad? Wilder hasn't fought anyone important in the division. Wilder needs to beat at least two contenders in the top 10 before he's ready for Wlad.
The question IS "Is Wilder Ready for Wlad".
Wilder would trouble Wlad so much. Wilders reach, range and height literally takes aawy 90% of his defense. Not saying Wilder would win as Wlad is infinitely more skilled, but I think it could get interesting.
I mostly agree. Wilder is way untested but at least they stack up physically.
he's as ready as he'll ever be
his only prayer is to get lucky with a hail mary KO bomb
that won't change, so he can fight Wlad today, last yr, or next yr
it's the same fight; Wilder gambles on a KO en route to getting owned
