Of course all in their prime. Most Boxing ppl thought or think both Klitschko brothers would have defeated Wilder with realtive easy. He has a deadly right hand and an amazing heart. Did some people changed their mind after Fury 3? I would say Wlad has to get him out in the first 5-6 rounds similar like Pulev. Wilder has definately more heart then Wlad thats sure. Vitali doenst have the KO power of Wlad, but his harder, tougher and has a better chin, and of course mor heart and courage. I dont know if Vitali could take a full flush right of Wilder, but i guess we must say its possible. The "young" Boxing fans of today believe ANYONE would go down when Wilder connects...but the current HW division doesnt have real iron jaws and concrete heads. Fury is nothing of the two, same as AJ, Whyte, Ruiz jr, Parker or anyone else.
Wlad in his prime would be quicker, stronger, and more skilled. Wilder would not be able to land, even if he's prepared to walk through fire and spams over hands like he did against a lapsing Fury, he would get broken down and stopped. No drama here. Vitali. I think he would just physically impose on Wilder, push him back, bully and land short punches all over his head. Similar to the Sanders bout, exciting but one sided.
Vitali never fought anyone as tall as him. I also saw how he was very cautious and got stunned versus corrie sanders. I believe Wilder had the size, and speed to catch Vitali. He used his size and strength to his advantage against most of the smaller opposition he faced. This wouldn't be the case against Wilder.
I found it awfully curious that the first title that Wilder won, was a vacant one after Vitaly retired. He was active during both K-bros but his handlers must have felt he wasn't ready and chose to wait them out before taking on steeper challenges.
I think the Klitschkos would turn Wilder into mashed potatoes. They may even take turns to beat him up.
I think he's a somewhat dangerous opponent against Wlad, but still the underdog. I have a hard time seeing any path to victory for Wilder over Vitaly.
Wilder KOs a gun shy startled Wlad early doors. Vitali beats Wilder in a slow, unsympathetic cruel beat down in about 10 rounds
Vitali would destroy Wilder. He has the power to finish Wilder off quickly. I predict Wilder to be KO'd in 3-4 rounds. And his chin would soak up a Wilder shot. Wlad would take his time, but KO Wilder in 6-7 rounds. Wlad may get knocked down, but so would Wilder, and Wlad would outbox in most of the rounds. Wlad's head movement would make it difficult for Wilder, as well as Wlad's dominant jab.
