The denial is real....... WK is shot beyond shot.......he has not won a fight in FOUR years........looked like shid in the last fight he won against a full time janitor. It did not take much to ice a prime WK......the current version gets Timbered quickly.
Wlad would do well to stay away from anyone in the top 10. I don't see why guys retire then get the itch and comeback. The landscape is littered with boxers and cautionary tales. And he potentially wants to fight a guy that can knock his head off, that's fast and unorthodox as hell?!. Wilder would obliterate Wlad at this point. Wlad hasn't knocked anyone out in 5 years, hasn't won in 4 years, hasn't even fought in 2 years. Foolish, foolish idea.
He wants Wilder because he beat him up in sparring Wilder ducked Wlad in 2013/2014. and he ducks the modern equivalent AJ in 2019.
I agree, its a risky fight but alot of money on the table for this bout. Sure a young prime Vlad handles an AJ or Wilder.. Not so sure this version would based off of his last couple of fights. Just won't pull the trigger like he used to with that right hand and hook of the jab. But he can punch so who knows I'd pick WIlder due to Vlads age and how he looked against AJ and Fury. Vlad was always a safety first guy and as he get older its getting worse!
Good fight. Those that say Wlad would get destroyed must surely think that he’s declined massively in the last 2 years... which he may have.
Joshua and Fury beat Wlad in a comeback I would think. Those Ukranians are not going to blast each other out I think. Wilder vs Wlad is whoever lands something big first. And Wlad landing something big is a very real possibility. Battle of the two biggest right hands.
