    Discuss please. Wlad might be able to, possibly Povetkin?

    Are we forgetting Dustin Nicols, if Wilder can KO Evander surely the mighty Nicols could, I mean he floored Wilder which is a feat comparable to punching your fist through the fabric of reality and space time to KO a prime Ali in 1966.

    If Bowe could do it, Wlad could as well.

    I don't think so. Wilder is not nearly as skilled as Bowe was who was the only man to stop prime or close to prime Evander. He hits hard but he wouldn't be able to deliver his punches like Bowe did. I'd pick Wlad to beat Holyfield in a similar manner to Lennox did, and I don't think Sasha has enough power as a big fan of his.

    Prime Evander would school Wilder, much like Clemente Russo (cruiserweight) did in the 2008 Olympics, but over 12 rounds.

    Prime Holyfield would destroy fraud Wilder inside of 2 rounds.... Hell even the mid 2000s version schools, and possibly KO's this fraud!

    Bowe did it on the inside where Wlad has no skills whatsoever.

    Bowe had a fearlessness and courage Wlad does not. Bowe had a chin.

    ydksab you prove that time and time again.

    Wilder would stand no chance against prime Holyfield. Among modern heavyweights I would pick up Wlad to defeat him in a close fight. Haye? Would be a good fight either. Povetkin or any other heavyweight of this era would get outboxed easily. Maybe Joshua, but we didn't see enough from him yet.

    Wlad had a close fight with Byrant Jeninngs and got destroyed by left hooker Brewster.

    He isn't beating any Holyfield.

    The real deal would've punished Wilder. You know that MVC.

    Can't we just have a decent discussion on HWs without you expressing your love for Wlad?
