      Wilder isn’t a “baby” anymore - he used to be the oldest baby at age 31 with 37 fights according to Shelly Finkel.

      I’d pick Wlad to spark the bum in the first rd with a hammer right.
      He probably could do a number on wilder far better than fury ever could but it's beneath him to fight him at any point in time past present or future ..
      wlad knows wilder was gifted a belt and started boxing at 25 I doubt he would ever have seen wilder as a real threat..
      he would also know the reason people are calling wilder the best puncher ever is purely based on hype and money making

      I can't see wilder landing that right hand on wladimir ,not the full powered full extension one anyways..

      Wlad would break wilder down in 6 rounds imo

        No.

        He couldn’t beat the fighters at the end of his career when he fought them and lost two times. Both fighters improved after that and at 44, Wlad will only have declined massively, so the gap will be even bigger.

        So no, it would be a ****** idea. He has nothing to prove. He had his time, a great career. He couldn’t beat the top fighters at the end of his career, so he can’t now.

        And nobody wants to see him come back and lose to other fighters that wouldn’t have been able to lace his gloves.

          This is all to a realization for the forum . Most are voting no he shouldn’t return but he’d be looked at to beat most guys ,Wilder included.

            Wilder started boxing at 18 - not 25. He turned pro at 23.

            Apart from that, I agree with your post.

            I think he destroys kronk Fury as well.

              He’ll break Wilder into two and beat kronk Fury into submission. Fury can’t run around anymore.

                You're the first person to ever correct me on that and I knew everytime I said 25 it was ****e

                But hey he turned pro at 23 not much difference and 18 is still far too late to learn boxing

                Let's face it between 23 when he turned pro up until he fought stiverne a c level fighter at best he was just rolling over cans so that's even more so detrimental to the guy learning anything


                He just isnt a great heavyweight

                David Price would have stomped on everyone on wilders resume excluding Luis ortiz and possibly stiverne and looked a lot better doing it too

                  I'm not so sure about fury now however if they had the rematch when scheduled and fury hadn't ducked I believe Wlad would have let his hands go a lot more much like he did vs Joshua

                  Wladimirs a smart guy if Wilder can come up with that feeble body attack and throw fury off in the third fight I'm sure Wlad knew what he had to do which was most likely put himself in danger to land a big shot

                    I thought you'd be too busy looking for a child rapist/murderer avatar than discussing boxing right now

                    I could see wlad dominating wilder ,beating Joshua and usyk right now tbh if he hasn't lost too much since his last appearance but that's all speculation

                      AJ started at about the same age. Wilder’s problem is that he’s just dumb and never put in work to become a better box. How skinny his legs look alone is telling and it shows he never trained.

                      I think his promoters never helped by feeding him bums and hyping up his power. I think that also played a role in his destruction because he started believing his own hype and end up becoming a bum.

                      Pricey is more skilled than Wilder and hits harder. He just never had heart. He also wasn’t matched well.
