Mariusz Wach taller than WK, Derrick Jefferson, Tony Thompson, Ray Austin about the same size. Pulev was slightly shorter than WK but not by much. I don't think he's in a very weak field of competitors either---probably not the best or even second best, but the third best which is better than several other eras
Just ignorant. In the last 16 some years to assume Wlad just hasn't faced someone tall and strong. He's faced plenty that fill that requirement. Wlad is about as tested as they get against opponents of all sizes, skillsets, and styles. Again, its going to take something more than that or something else. Actually, he doesn't. Wilder has above average speed and mobility for a tall fighter and against Stiverne he looked rather ponderous and inconsistent in that department after a few rounds. Maybe he can improve on this, maybe he won't. The guy has barely got hit flush his entire career, I don't think you know how to rate defense. Wlad has developed excellent parrying skills and picks punches off as good as any modern heavyweight. His ring IQ is off the charts, he controls the distance, and can evade when required. Cool prediction, just stand by it when this fight actually happens, and give Wlad credit. Bad pattern on this forum, of potentional Wlad opponents being hyped and dismissed when they don't do what people think they are going to do. Forgive us if we've heard all this before about Sultan, Haye, Povetkin, Pulev..etc.
Wilder was a top 10 contender and now he is WBC champ. Wach is a no name club fighter with world ranking of 44. He's a nobody. Derrick Jefferson was another nobody who never had a top 10 ranking. Thompson was old and slow in the first fight. Wlad still struggled to put him away and had to excessively grapple and maul him to slow him down even more. Austin had already lost to Harold Sconiers who was one of Wilders early KO victims:rofl Pulev stood there in front of him with no defence. The last time Wlad fought a big guy who used a range of movement on the outside like Wilder , he was blown out in pretty much the first round.:dead

Hardly a nobody who was never rated. Now wrongvelvet don't take this as an attempt to debate you, there is nothing to debate on the matter as you are always wrong and shouldn't be here, this is just an opportunity to mock you.
Since when did banging guys out with power shots make anybody a great boxer. Hamed relied on his power. When he finally faced a hall of fame calibre opponent he got embarrassed. Wlad is nothing more than a 1 dimensional 1-2 head hunter who relies on corrupt refs allowing him have everything his own way. Hall of famers weren't needed to expose all his flaws and lack of all around boxing ability.
Dinobot whats up ? Now you have a new hero in the face of Wilder? Its fun how this guy hype this guys and after Wlad destroy them, he say they was a nothing else then a bum and Klitschko could not won with a fair referee. But in the same time he never explain to us, how he know the referee is corupt. You have some kind of a proof how Wlad pays the ref? Of course not, you are just a cry baby with a broken dream. Get back to reality kid, Klitschko destroy all of your heroes and will continue to do it. So get a life kid and stop crying and *****ing like a little b**** !!!

the jab that DW utilized the other night is far better than any jab I can remember wlad ever using. the last many years wlad had been pawing the jab only to fall in and mug his opponents. I might have to go back 6/10 years to see wlads jab, that is actually a jab and not just a pawing range finder. anyone remember the last match wlad brought a true jab into tha match and actually utilized it ?
You're not wrong here. Wlads jab is a myth. Parrot something long enough and its becomes reality. Had zero success with the jab against Povetkin [url]http://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/imported_assets/2167547/blanket_medium.gif[/url] Where's his jab here. He could never move and jab at the same time.
