Comments Thread For: Wilder Explains The Problems He'll Pose For Klitschko

[The Surgeon]

Who has a weaker chin?

Who's the puncher?

[Ryn0]

Wilder's height offers him no advantage. He is two inches taller at the most.

What will help him is his reach plus his speed. He does not have to reach to get to Vladimir.

On the bad side vladimir is much bigger. The guy is built like a sentinel. Wilder could win a jab fihht, but if vladimir can find home with his power shots wilder sleeps.

Wilder would absolutely not win a 'jab fight'. Wlad jab is up there with Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis as a weapon.

Wilder would have to rely on his big right hand, I don't think he comes close to beating Wlad. I'm also pretty certain Wilder can't fight on the inside, he wings his hooks. Watch him trying to finish Audley up close has me pretty certain.

I think that Wilder presents Wladimir with big problems.

The big problems he presents him with are in Wlad trying to now get the lanky ****er in the ring with him so he can ice him and snatch his title.

Unification!

Beating Wlad?

Anybody who wrote that should be permabanned!

The only reason wlad is still champ, is because of how affectionate and intimate he is with his opponents. Wladimir "Dr. Affection" Clinchko

[Bx166NY]

Am I the only one that finds it curious that all of a sudden the fight with Jennings is back on since wilder won? I bet if it was stiverne he would have screaming for unification immediately

[Carolina Bomber]

Klitscko-Wilder Close IMO

I'll go ahead and say this, just going by the guys that Vladi has fought the last decade, Klit-Wilder has the potential to be more intriguing that people think. Lets not forget Vlads suspect chin and the idea of what will happen if Wilder lands a clean right hand. Not saying he wins, I'm just saying this fight will be closer than people think.

[DominiBox]

Wilder should avoid Wladimir as long a possible. If he can work on his jab and tighten up his guard, he COULD be a competitive foe.

Still, I see Wladimir dismantling him with relative ease. The only concern is Wilder's power.

Plus, you can see how vulnerable Wilder is to left hooks. Wlad's left hook is devastating. Wilder says he's faster than Klitschko, and he might be...But Klitschko's left hook comes as fast as any of Wilder's punches.

Wilder's sticked to his game plan against Stiverne. Used the jad perfectly. It was very hard for Stiverne to overcome the reach advantage by Wilder. Against Klitschko, there will be no reach advantage. Klitschko's jab can be counted as a power puch.

Wilder is not as fast as Klitschko.

Klitschko is bigger, faster, stronger, more powerful, stronger chinned, more athletic, better stamina, more agile, better timing, reflexes and accuracy, better technique.

And all that's BEFORE we even take into account Wlad's experience, tactical and stylistic superiority.

Utter white wash! Wladimir already beat the best guys in the division who would themselves wipe Wilder off the map.

Expect a very temporary champion again!

The WBC will be a paper champ until it finds it's way back to Europe.

Better chin? Not sure about that. I'd like to see Wilder put that to the test. One thing is for sure, Wilder will be a live opponent. Which is more than can be said for Vladis opponents the last decade.
