Wilder vs Wlad. What happens when they fight?

[Pain~Lucy]

the american hope will be sent into oblivion if this fight happened

[SplitSecond]

wilder gets knocked out by a jab, can't see him winning unless somewhere in the early rounds he lands a loopy right

he's tall enough that wladimir's defence is exposed so who knows what could happen

would favor wlad though, quick on his feet, highly experienced

[Cloud]

I think it's a possible Wladimir-Jefferson repeat. Who lands first wins in my opinion.

[KJB]

Fight won't happen, at least not for a few years, I'd say. Wilder's people know that he isn't at Wlad's level. That said, Wlad is getting older. If Wilder keeps passing his tests, in a couple years? Who knows.

I'd absolutely take Wlad right now.

[TGD]

Klitschko destroys Wilder. He's far too smart for that windmilling idiot. Wilder fights like an amateur.

[LacedUp]

Would he even beat Arreola? Thompson?

I wouldn't bet on him beating Pulev or Povetkin.

All this talk of his power, that is all he has. Stiverne cracks every bit as hard as the guy and hes gotta better fundamentals too boot.

He has nothing. Any decent HW will take his right hand away and put a whooping on that big uncoordinated yop. Olympic bronze medalist, 31 pro fights and he still moves like a basketballer turned boxer who has only been training a year. He is terrible.

He might beat them. But those guys are tough though, he can't afford to take any punches from them. I would bet on him beating Thompson for sure.

It's hard to say whether he'd beat the rest, but they are also a little more rugged than Wlad, though with obviously less power.

So it's more the styles I'm interested in. But it could end up being another Lewis-Grant with Wlad folding Wilder like a deckchair with the first punch he lands.

I was actually thinking Michael Grant myself

IF he lands one clean Wlad probably will hit the canvas, hes definitely got power in that right hand. He just better hope Wlad stays down.

I won't deny his power, that is one thing I will give him but outside of that I see nothing. I'd like to see him fight someone durable so we can actually get a better gauge of his power.
He'd probably be an even bigger puncher if he got some meat on those legs and improved his technique.

He does have power. Serious power. nobody can deny that. People turn their eyes with the first right hand he lands - it's been a while since we've seen that kind of power.

His technique did look a lot better in those 90 seconds yesterday though. Won't say it's amazing but the left hook- right hand is miles ahead of the windmiller he performed against Audley Harrison.

[LacedUp]

It's an interesting match-up, sure, but only because Wilder has the power to spring a surprise.

I respect Wilder's power, but, as Dan says, he hasn't been in with an offensive or hard-hitting opponent. There's no escape for him now. He gets the winner of Stiverne-Arreola. Will they be too much of a step up?

Maybe. But Ihope to God he comes through as it's a while since we've seen Wlad in with a big,natural heavyweight puncher.

I think the style match-up is intriguing and it's bound to end in a brutal chicken dance followed by a KO.

Just want to make it clear that I think Wlad will fold him in a couple of rounds, but would like to see it.

[Weltschmerz]

If Wlad wins, you get a tattoo of his pretty face right on your ass, deal Andy

[Weltschmerz]

In all seriousness, Wlad folds him obviously.

[LacedUp]

In all seriousness, Wlad folds him obviously.

Other than Haye, Wlad really hasn't taken a big punch since Sanders or Peter in the first fight.

This is an intriguing fight, and one he would have to be at his best for.
