Corrie Sanders vs Wilder

Sanders if he was about today would be the real Bogeyman of the division, he would be frozen out by Wilder definitely. That straight left of his was fast and devastating and hes a massive massive threat to the likes of Wilder and Joshua, I could see Ruiz beating him on work rate and taking over late, he'll hang in there, but say Joshua, I could see him sparked by him

 

That version would probably catch Wilder with a big shot early, but Wilder would survive and Corrie would gas and get laid out before 6.

 

1999 version sparks him in 2

 

I can definitely envisage Corrie taking him out.

It would be a bad stylistic match up for Wilder.

A fast, hard hitting southpaw with a ton of confidence.

You have to respect Corrie. He went to war with a version of Vitali who was looking to avenge his brother's defeat.

He feared nobody.

Although he underachieved, he was a huge threat to anyone when on his game.

 

RH cannon versus LH cannon, whoever gets on target first I guess. But Corrie destroys him in golf.

 

I have said repeatedly that the guy who takes Wilder will blitz him before Deontay finds his distance. And he doesn't let his foot off the gas. Easier said than done.

That describes Corrie's performance versus Wlad.

The fighters who try to make the silent agreement with Deontay end up getting sparked.

 

I can absolutely see him blitzing Wilder.

 

Sanders by KO.

Sanders didn't wait until round 7 to drop his big bombs. Wilder doesn't have the luxury of indulging in university training to study his opponent's rhythm and to work out when to throw the big right. Sanders used to drop bombs, and really early.

 

Wilder by early KO

 

Had he catched Wilder, Deontay wouldn't survive. Corrie was massive puncher, much harder than Ortiz who almost KO'ed Wilder in the first fight

 

His KO percentage would suggest otherwise

 

He was a boxer more than a puncher for most of his early career.

 

Vitali's KO % is higher than Wlad's, but all fighters who fought/sparred both said that Wlad is MUCH harder puncher. Phil Jackson, Kevin Johnson, Mairis Briedis and Chris Byrd. Byrd said Wlad hits three times harder than Vitali.

KO % says that Bruce Seldon was harder puncher than Lennox Lewis. Do you agree with this?

 

Good point yes. Of course percentage dosent tell it all. Still I wouldnt say he was far harder puncher than Ortiz who is hard hitter himself.
Also I do think Klitchko fans love to overrate the man.
