    he would unify against wilder and wladdie. he'd not bother with chaggy, a pointless fight with a terrible fighter.

    100% chance of beating Wilder
    50/50 with Chag
    40/60 with Povetkin
    10/90% with Wladdy

    He could win against Wilder, but he'd lose to Povetkin no doubt about it.

    He's one of the worst hw strap holders of all time, so no chance. I would even take Wilder to spark him.

    Bruno would be extremely dangerous early for Wilder - however, with the right game plan Wilder could play it cute on the outside, bagging insurance rounds with a pot shot jab (remember, Spoon outjabbed Bruno while grossly overweight and facing a 5" reach disadvantage) and then go for the easy stoppage when Bruno sputtered.

    If he tried his usual blitzkrieg, Wilder faces a very serious risk of it backfiring and getting KTFO.

    All comes down to preparation and how smart Wilder decides to be when the bell rings.

    There's no way Wilder wins this, he's too fragile... No way he keeps Bruno off him, he crumbles as soon as Bruno applies any sort of pressure.

    Prime Bruno knocks out current Wlad, Povetkin and Fury easily.

    However, Wilder knocks him out.

    We've seen with a 5'10 midget did to Bruno, imagine what a 6'7 Super Heavyweight with the world strongest punch would do?

    Nothing, he gets knocked out by the first meaty right straight that Wilder throws.

    We've all seen Wilder absorb bombs from Stiverne, the same Stiverne who knocked Arreola out, the same Arreola who ate Vitali Klitschko's best punches for breakfast without going down, the last great HW champ after Lewis.

    Based on this reasoning, Wilder has a pretty decent chin. Much better than chinny Fury, Wlad or Povetkin.

    Stiverne? That chubby dehydrated Haitian tractor driver? Whoope de doo, he beat Arreola, who need I remind you was beat by blown up Light Heavyweight Adamek while Chris was in his prime :patsch

    did better versus prime lewis than vits did against shyte lewis

    so vits by default is now the worst hw strap holder ever.
