    Current Wilder vs current Wilder is a 50/50 toss-up but I lean towards current Wilder

    Also, current Wilder would have a very good puncher chance :D

    All are grossly shot to bits.

    I'd still back AJ to beat Wilder. But, I'd probably back current Wilder over Ruiz and Whyte.

    Wilder stretches Whyte, out cold. Wilder vs AJ currently has better chances than ever before; he'd be favoured vs Andy

    Current Wilder sweeps imo. Ruiz has the best chance of springing an upset. He showed me more in his fight against Damien than AJ and Whyte have shown in a long time.

    I actually think AJ has a better chance now than he did prime for prime

    He’s been sparked out a few times now but before Wilder had been found out AJ would have been terrified by the time he got to the ring.

    Now. Wilder sparks Whyte as does anyone in the top 50 but the rest are pick ems

    I still think that AJ smashes him I don't think that current Wilder's power is still as devastating as it once was he is so shot he can't set up that right hand like he used to. I think he KO's Whyte but it would take him at least 5 or 6 rounds and he would catch Whyte once he is tired. Wilder Ruiz is closer I think Wilder's best shot would be Ruiz gassing because current Ruiz still outboxes him.

    Wilder was always a bum. Just a tad better than most other bums. Thats why he ducked every meaningful opponent.

    A ducker ducks.

    Wilder has an abysmal Glass Jaw. Even worse than AJ. He gets stopped by all of them.

    Ruiz KOs Wilder. Knyba has better boxing skills than Wilder does. Better footwork, jab, combos, distance management etc. Ruiz was still dangerous after Knyba dropped and badly hurt him. Ruiz also appears to still be dangerous in those 50/50 exchange type situations. I don't think he's as past it as many think. Knyba for the most part was doing what AJ did in the rematch with Ruiz. If you're a taller HW with skills, keep it long and avoid dumb exchanges Ruiz is going to have big issues with you. It's going in for the kill or taking the fight to him that makes it tricky. Wilder hasn't got a good jab, footwork and doesn't really throw the right hand with any real authority anymore. Look at how close ancient Chisora took him.
