    Good match. For as much as I rag on Wilder, I can say that while I doubt Wilder would have Joshua down and foggy for several rounds, if he did, he definitely wouldn't have sat back and allowed him to recover like the 41 yr old version of Klitschko. Wilder would've went buck wild swinging for the fences.

    Maybe Wilder can put aside his disdain for boxing technique and use angles, movement, his jab, etc. If so, he might be able to make a match of it. The same goes for Pulev with angles and his jab.

    He showed us that he can fight a smart fight against Stiverne. That's how it goes when you know your opponent may be very tough to beat.

    There is no such thing as officially subjectively # blah blah blah. There's no way anyone could name 10 hw who achieved more, never mind that could have a prayer h2h. Pretty convinced he's top 10 in most fans eyes

    Wilder is one thing, thinking pulev could ever land a clean effective shot (single shot, at that) is the same as thinking you get 1st downs with jabs and counter punches are interceptions. Pulev is a terrible ****ing contender, very fringe very weak pretender he was and he's even less now

    For me personally Wlad comes in around 10th. Dinovelvet you can't just say he's 16th because ring magazine said so lol.

    Vlad has not really decided for sure yet......................it will be a 50/50 fight if it happens.

    Vlad could knock Wilder out, then Parker, then big rematch with Joshua, then retire...................

    Totally understandable if he did but I think theres wayy too much Money on the rematch for him to say no.. Well see
