This can't be a serious thread. "Prime" Kownacki was when he was able to eat more punches. Still doesn't take away that he ate punches to land a punch.
I hate Wilder. He's overrated as hell and he doesn't punch anywhere near as hard as his fans say he does. He also has zero skills. Wilder by 1st round KO.
Jesus Jim, just imagining that feels like it should be some kinda crime Wilder KO whenever tf he wants
Wilder, easily. Even if you think Wilder's power is overrated, you have to admit that he does have something there. As far as I'm aware the only defense Kownacki has ever had is the ability to eat shots and keep coming. It's harder to do that when the shots are exceptionally powerful. Hell, he hasn't exactly faced a murderer's row and it's already caught up to him in a big way. I'll be generous and say Kownacki maybe makes it 4-5 rounds before going down the final time, in his "prime." Now though? Uh... prolly about halfway through the first round.
I doubt he'd make it past 3 rounds to be honest. Wilder cracks too hard and Kows chin is always there to be hit.
This is probably the most accurate answer in this thread going against the reflexive and absolutist Wilder KO1 prediction. Washington, Molina, Arreola, Duhaupas and Szpilka weren't exactly world beaters and iron chinned warriors and they all lasted that long or longer.
