    Being undefeated means nothing if your level of opposition is poor. Deontay Wilder is undefeated as well, with a perfect KO ratio, and he'd be even more of a mismatch. Wach may or may not be a better fighter than we think, but it's hard to say given he's never been in the ring with anyone approaching Wlad's standard. What we can say with any certainty is that he's extremely slow, has a poor to nonexistent jab, and huge right hand power against anyone slow enough to be hit by him.

    I don't think it's unfair to point any of his flaws out, because they're so obviously apparent. The fact that he doesn't have a great chance of winning against Wlad isn't a knock against Wlad. Eddie Chambers didn't have a great chance either, but he was a skilled operator who'd already won a number of fights against meaningful opponents before stepping in the ring with Wlad. In other words he was a worthy challenger, however much challenge he actually posed. I can't say the same for Wach.

    Of course Wach has the power to stop Wlad, but then so did Rahman. I fully expect a champ of Wlad's calibre to utterly outclass Wach. To think otherwise would be the real insult.

    I agree with most of what you said, however because Wach has had shitty opponents so far I am curious what will come tonight. I for one will reserve my opinion about him for after the fight.

    That's incorrect. Wlad stepped out of range every time Haye came forward, it wasn't easy for Haye.

    Sure, that's fair enough.

    Wach is nothing more than a prospect really. Too much of a unknown factor to draw conclusions. Haye didn't have the fighting style and mental strength to beat Wlad. Athletic ability and talent just wasn't enough.

    How many of his fights have you said that before at this point? A dozen at least?

    Were you really brainwashed by the BS that came out of Haye's mouth to think he was ever a threat?

    I think Wach beats Haye.
