    I don't know that Sanders can keep Wilder on the canvas. On paper, Sanders is an incredible threat, since he comes forward with more speed than Wilder is accustomed to, and Wilder doesn't fight on the back foot. But Wilder kept getting up even in his recent slugfest, whereas Sanders was not a long distance fighter.

    I would give both men a chance, but would slightly favor wilder. I think he was superior in both the power and durability department. He’d have to take some nasty shots though and might get decked along the way. Sanders could crack and had very fast hands

    So Wilder is still falling? There was a time when people considered him a live body against Joe Louis.

    Wilder KO within 8. The perfect antidote for a southpaw is a sledgehammer right hand down the middle.

    I think it would be 50/50. I don't think it would go more than 3-4 rounds though.

    Corrie lost to Nate Tubbs.

    His whole mystique is based on one win.

    Wilder KO.

    Wilder would knock him out. Corrie stood with his chin straight up and wasn't especially hard to hit.

    Wilder is even easier to hit. Sanders speed would be the factor here as he get there first. Both guys have enough power to knock each other out.

    He isn’t easier to hit. He’s really tall. He rarely got hit cleanly before Fury.

    Sanders hits twice as hard as Fury. If he lands on Wilder, Deontay is going out for 10.

    That being said, Wilder has the power to stop Sanders, as well. It is basically whoever lands first.
    I lean towards Sanders in a 55/45 proposition based on his superior skill.

    Wilder got hit in almost every fight when he won the "title".

    Yeah, Stiverne landed 35% of his punches supposedly in the first fight, which is pretty high for a fighter like that.

    I'd pick WIlder though, best-for-best.

    What makes you think that? Stopping a young Wladmir was an impressive upset, but Wladmir was never a particularly durable boxer and he isn't the only one to do it.
