Its a simple case of who lands first , Wlad has the experience but if a big sharp puncher catches him flush he folds like a deck of cards.
The problem is hitting him clean before he hits you with a steelhammer.

wlad can only ko dumb chump fighters like pulev & leapai. from what i saw in his fight w/ stiverne, wilder will ko wlad or get a UD. wilder is aggressive and has a punch. all of wlads opponents have been scared to death of him. wilder wont be, and he'll use that to fuck with wlads already weak confidence.
thank god there is a new HW champ.
Pulev was heaps better than fuckin Wilder you moron!
Wladimir would easily beat the shit out of Wilder, you gotta be kidding.
Wilder proved himself a major player but not THAT major.
Truth is, I think of all the things Wilder DID prove, or somewhat proved, he exposed something else...
His power is not as great as thought. It was great mainly against weaker fighters.
I think Wladimir could take the odd shot Wilder grazingly lands.
Wilder will never take the flush ramrod jabs and thunderous rights that WK will bomb him with from first second, until the last.
Wilder has proved himself worthy to stand amongst the other top boxers like Pulev and Povetkin, that's what he achieved.

You'd have to make Wlad the favourite, Wlad is seasoned, Wilder has had a brief look at the salt and pepper pot.
Wilder is everything Wlad doesn't want to be facing now though. Im sure he'd have no argument if the next viable guy and the one after that were short squat plodders. Wilder or Fury V Wlad will be very interesting.

I'm still not convinced wilder is the goods. He likes to stalk guys smaller than him with a jab and a straight right hand and even then he practically gets a running start on it with that giant step forward, which is a dead giveaway and if stiverne had stayed in front of him and moved his head, wilder would have never gotten that kind of power on his right hand. From everything I saw in that fight, he still screams toughman contestant and needs serious polishing. Even after he had stiverne hurt, he ran in there and started with the shoe shining, cuff tornado. In the later rounds when he gassed he took to turning his back on his opponent and walked away while almost tossing jabs behind him like an after thought. Leaning back with his chin up and his hands down to avoid late counters from Stiverne. He hasn't had someone who was able to punch back in the same range who could hurt him and wait for him to make mistakes. I'm sure he's a great athlete and with his size, he covers a great distance in a short period of time and it must seem like a different animal for some opponents. I'm just convinced a consummate pro with a good team and good training, in shape will see Wilder's punches coming from a mile away and land their counters where they need too. I'm not a fan of Vlad's and he could get caught by one of those big rights, but just calling it like I see it. A guy who has his stuff together, breaks wilder down easy and dismantles him. There's just too many holes in his game and he hasn't been deterred yet by someone taking away his plan A, right hand. I know it might seemed bias right now, but I see a heavyweight chris byrd (before the decline), having this kid breathing heavy and scratching his head after 3 rounds.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
