Welcome. I think there is a reason Wlad vs Wilder never happened. Wilder's team didn't want the fight and gambled by passing up on potential large payday. Instead they secured a title fight vs. a highly overrated Stiverene ( A shorter guy who didn't throw many punches who was 36 had some fat on him ) . The gamble paid off. Wilder won via decision. Then they used the WBC belt to line up additional paydays vs. non top ten opponents. Wilder was perhaps the best-managed heavyweight in years, and the fact that he had a highly inflated KO% and was American fit perfectly into their marketing.
