How does prime Wladimir Klitschko do today?

People thought Haye had a great chance of icing Wlad, and he was considerably more skilled and adept at landing his power shots on high level opponents than Wilder ever was. I think the fight would have been massively overhyped then shown to be a grotesque mismatch after Wlad blows him away with ease. It would be another fight where Wlad's lack of seeming effort to dispose of his opponent works against him.

In answer to your last sentence... not well.

 

Yeah, never a huge fan myself, but his dominance was indisputable.

 

Wilder would pose no problems to Wlad whatsoever. He's outrageously overhyped.

Wlad would utterly control him from the start and make that right hand a non-factor.

 

Wilder would bounce around and make Wlad miss? When the hell did he ever do that to anyone worth a damn?

Or did you mean Fury?

 

Wilder wouldn't lay a glove on Wlad. Ruiz has no chance whatsoever. The rematch against Joshua (where Joshua basically tried to emulate Wlad... poorly) shows this better than anything.

 

Of course he would dominate Ruiz, Wilder and Whyte. They're tailor made for him.

Same was said of Brewster (rematch), Peter and Haye. Killer instinct means FA when you're getting your head boxed off.

He was also 41.

Talk about body language and expression. Wach was gaining massive confidence in the last few rounds (too little too late, but still), and Whyte with his swollen up face and pitter pat keep off me punches looked like he just wanted the night to be over.

Whyte looking bad wasn't just him underperforming but Wach being a lot more game than anyone expected.

 

Wlad only needs to make one mistake.

 

So does Wilder, unless you think Wilder can take endless Wlad right hands.

And who's more likely to make a mistake first?

 

Wilder can afford more than one mistake imo especially given Wlads cautious approach and lack of killer instinct.

No matter how dominant and in control Wlad is, he's only ever one punch away from losing to Wilder.

 

Again, are you proposing that Wilder can just take endless right hands on the button from one of the hardest punchers in HW history without collapsing into a heap? The first time Wlad lands flush might be the last time he needs to land at all.

 

Klitschko was the guy in the HW division that throws/land the most punches in his matches. That is not given for his late matches, aka 37+ years old, which is normally his output to go down.
A lot of Klitschko strength was that he was very active and didn`t allow the other boxer to come close or to have a free time on the ring, Klitschko was keeping them busy at what coming at them. This was his downfall later, because he was obviously slowing down in speed, footwork and so on, but mostly on his cardio and his workrate has been slowed more than a half and he rely heavily on the clinches.
While he was caution his offence was superb and when he needed to land he landed.
With Manny on his corner, he was knowing when to motivate him to push on his opponent.

 

Yeah, I mean Fury.

 

Propose whatever you want.

The thing I'm proposing is that Wilder is only ever one punch from victory and as soon as Wlad makes a mistake he'll land that one punch.

 

Or until he gets KTFO, since Wilder isn't, in fact, Oliver McCall.

 

Neither is Wlad. I don't understand your point.
