How would Wilder do against winner of Lewis/Vitali?

In their primes i would take both of them over Wilder,

Now?, not so sure i would take either of them now.

 

Sadly, age is a thing and the sloppy youth would have his way with the more skilled, zimmer-frame toting older gentlemen.

 

Impossible to really say for sure. Smart money would say Vitali and especially Lewis would be too shot or too far past prime to be competitive.

But who knows if Foreman could KO Moorer, who's to say they couldn't find that one hard punch.

Vitali has kept himself in shape, never saw him out of shape and if he can still take a punch and throw at the rate he used too, he'd possible overwhelm Wilder. I give him a better chance than Lewis.

Lewis looks in good shape but did let himself go for a few years after he retired. He's also older than Vitali and likely further from his best and Wilder could KO him with one punch like McCall and Rahman did. But he also has more power than Vitali, he only needs to land once and he's a title holder again.

 

Good points except Foreman had a dozen or so warm up fights before stepping up, it would take those two a good year to get back into form i think. Fighting Wilder after a exibition match only would be asking for trouble.

 

Good point, you only have to see how rusty Fury was on his return, their timing would be way, way off.

 

In their prime they both would devour Hybrid for fun. Now i suspect they'd be too slow. Although it took Windmill about 10 rounds to get rid of the pastry chef who was pretty much static.

 

neither can win too old by far.

 

Realistically neither see the final bell. Way to far gone for a fit young man who has a punch on him..Prime I have them both no1 and 2 h2h ever and they eat Wilder, but Wilder drops both way before 12 now

 

This. Vitali is 46 and Lewis is 53 and neither has fought for years. Both would get quickly knocked out by Wilder at this point. I don't think either is as arrogant as Holmes, who was dumb enough to think he could come off a two year layoff and pose any threat to Tyson. Vitali and Lewis seemed to be in a good place financially, so I can't see either putting their health on the line against Wilder while being as old as they are.

 

Both are too old and inactive. Wilder would knock them both out at this point.

In their prime, both would knock out Wilder.

 

I'm tempted to say too old but 50 y.o Ortiz went life and death.

 

Ring rust is nothing for vitali ask samuel peter

 

He is a very good offense fighter, but defensively he is rather poor and those guys were better defensively than he is. Sure Lennox was stopped a couple of times, but I think he was careless in those fights. But Lennox and Vitali were better quality defensive guys. Meaning, I think Vitali could take him punch and win a late knockout or decision, and I think Lennox lands that right hand easily enough and stops Wilder surprisingly early.. 3 rounds maybe.

 

At any time Vitali can come out of retirement and fight Wilder and Wilder can't refuse unless he gives up the belt.
