I don't think Wilder is ready for Wlad either and I don't think a punchers chance is going to get him to the the promised land against Wlad, but with 31 KOs in 31 fights you have to say he does know a little about fighting at the proper range.
Not against guys who come to win or are top level, I don't see it. His jab almost looks too rehearsed, like he's watching himself in a mirror. He's trying to learn it but range matters in legs too..in positioning and his feet often look scattered. Lunges off long right hand with left foot flying through the air and lands squared up. He's just not 'fluid' using natural gifts, to me anyway. He's trying you can see that for sure, but against all of these muffin tops and lesser guys you eventually stop learning and become predictable. His people are doing him no favors trying to tight-rope walk him to a championship...this guy needs to get scuffed up and strive to survive to learn for himself what he really has
