    Joseph Parker and Anthony Joshua equally.

    Give me a break people. Not even Putin and the Father Of All Bombs could defeat Deontay.
    Deontay is like a comic book character hero. Serving America's alcohol needs delivering Budweiser products 7 days a week on rotating shifts while training and becoming the most feared and undefeated HW Champion on the entire Planet called Earth.
    Just knowing what Deontay has already accomplished my imagination is running wild. If Putin ever did drop the Father Of All Bombs on us, Deontay would probably pull out what is under his pants and bat the Father Of All Bombs away and spare the United States a disaster.
    You foolish people should kneel in Deontay's shadow.

    Prime Fury wrecks Wilder. Joshua would destroy Wilder too. Also Ortiz.

    Povetkin and Klitschko stomp Wilder in their primes but if they fought right now they might have problems with DW.

    Not saying Wilder wouldn't have a chance of winning via lucky punch against Joshua or Ortiz, just not very likely.

    Joshua, Klitschko or Povetkin would all probably take him out.

    I've always been partial to him. :cool:

    Lately I've been watching a lot of his fights and he's pretty darn impressive. His fight against Byrd was excellent; Byrd was going all out himself, but Sasha's workrate was something else. Against Takam he was much slower, but more measured, looked like he was looking for the openings to deliver more force on his blows. He does a lot of little things well. For such a chunky guy he has good upper body movement and head movement when he needs to.

    If he'd had a better ref against Klitschko he might have had a chance.

    Maybe, just a little bit close, Rumski?

    Nah, not for me anyway. I know Wlad's age is a question, and I think several people could potentially (but not necessarily) beat Wilder. But I would still trust Wlad's experience neutralizing power over anyone else in terms of going against Wilder.

    Now of course, there's always the chance Wlad goes out in a few days and does something that gives me cause to re-evaluate that.

    :smoking:

    Wlad, Povetkin, Joshua and Ortiz all knock him out cold. Parker vs Wilder is 50/50 imo.

    Vlad, Joshua, Parker, Povetkin, Ortiz, Fury, probably both Tyson and Hughie, Ruiz, Pulev, perhaps Wach, Ustinov, Usyk if he moves up, and anyone else who can fight back..............Vlad would be Wilder's worst nightmare, Vlad knocked Wilder down with a jab, flattened him with a left hook, beat him from one side of the ring to the other. Wilder had no skills, his right hand comes from left field...................no balance, bad defense, Wilder is a wino beater...........

    I'd honestly pick Usyk to go up to heavyweight and outbox him right now, and I'm not even that sold on Usyk.

    Wlad, Joshua, Parker, Povetkin and Ortiz all likely demolish him. Povetkin might struggle due to stylistic factors, but I'm a lot more confident in his chances now than I was a few years ago.

    Wlad would just outclass him from the opening bell. Even if Joshua destroys him this weekend I'd still maintain that.

    Parker's getting a bit written off but he'd do a number of Wilder too. The only top ten (boxrec) guys I'd pick Wilder to beat currently are Pulev, Hammer, Martin (WTF is he doing there?), Jones (ditto) and Breazeale. Pulev would be a close fight potentially.

    Bellew would beat Wilder fair and square.
