Wilder would have stopped Wlad

This.A lot of hate towards Wilder just because he's American and signed to Haymon. Wlad is old, gun shy, and has always been one dimensional and chinny, it's not hard to see that Wilder could stop him. Hell, Wlad has been stopped by fighters not as gifted or good as Wilder and this was when he was young.
I don't see anybody around here seriously claiming the guy is about to be ATG. Most acknowledge the kid is a work in progress.
Fortunately for him, it's a weak division.
Maybe he can make a good showing at the top.
War Deontay!

You don't have to go any farther than the first post in this very thread saying Wilder would have knocked out the first-ballot HOF champion that ruled the heavyweight division for ten years to find someone making the claims you are talking about.Comment

Yeah...I suppose...I don't know. Would you call Wilder an ATG if he KO'd Wlad?
Really?
So has Fury's decision over the same Wlad transformed him into an ATG?
Nah, I'm not havin' it.
OP did not claim Wilder is Ali. You are fabricating an implication based on your assessment of Wlad.Comment

Wlad is a first-ballot HOF fighter and I'll happily put my money behind that assessment.Yeah...I suppose...I don't know. Would you call Wilder an ATG if he KO'd Wlad?

OP claimed Wilder would make easy work of Wlad, which is ridiculous overhype. He didn't fight Klitschko, nobody was making threads like this a week ago. Now all of a sudden the heavyweight champ would be easy work for Wilder. That may not be calling him an ATG but it's not that far away from saying that.
And as for Fury, a win over Klitschko is HUGE for his career and it could be the first building block in an ATG legacy... so when people then say "oh but this other guy who was too scared of Klitschko (and Fury) to fight them would have actually done an easier job of it," it reeks of overhype, not to mention discrediting the quality of the win for the man that actually went out and got it.Comment

Wilder would have taken more risks and eventually would have connected. Wlad was terrified of Fury, imagine if he had been facing Wilder? I'm not saying Wilder is some great fighter, actually give the edge to Fury to beat him, but it's a style match up thing and he would have KO'd Wlad in dramatic fashion.
We're done here.Comment
