    I can't say at this point because of the following:

    Wilder hasn't been tested, so its hard to tell how good he really is.

    Second, after watching Wlad against Povetkin, I have a feeling he's faded quite a bit with age.

      Because of his age - he turns 38 on Tuesday - there a real chance one of the up-and-comers will beat Wladimir in the next two years.

      I'm not sure it will be Wilder though - I'm fairly sure that KO against Scott was a dive, and Deontay's not fought anyone else who's not either a shot fighter or a low-level clubfighter.

              Yeah maybe if Wlad is 40 years old, he can get him.

                If Wlad jabs too much-he will get sparked by a right hand. Wlad will have to throw a lot of leads.

                You guys are making it sound like a big puncher doesn't have a chance. Is Wilder inexperienced-yes, but so is every fighter until they are given the chance.
                This is a very winnable fight for both guys and a puncher like Wilder has a chance against Wlad-who gets edgy and burns out if things aren't going his way.
                Wilder is no slow plodder like Wach or a feather duster like Tony Thompson.
                First good punch that lands on Wlad will likely spell the end and Wilder has power that hasn't been seen for a while. Is he elite technically-no, but he has height, reach, decent handspeed and is athletic enough to set up a nightmare for Wlad. Not saying he wins, but he definitely has a chance-a better one than the Leapais of the world!
                I like that people give Wilder a chance. We wouldn't want this to be another hollow victory for Wlad once he Ko's him.

                  This of course is incorrect. And Fury will get his shot if he gets into a mandatory position. I have yet to see Wlad turn down a mandatory and give up his Title because he didn't like the opposition.

                    Wilder becomes the quickest K.O Wlad has had in years

                    Wilder has no chin, no defense, no mobility. He has nothing but a booming right hand which is frankly noway near as good as Wlads.

                      Wilder has the size, reach, and power to make things interesting. I honestly think he could spark Wlad out. Unless Wlad is allowed to hold all fight.
