40 or not I think this Wlad is probably still better than Wilder
Wlad would have no problem with the Eric Molinas or Arthur Szpilkas of the world. Wilder always has that saving grace straight right but let's be real... that's his only weapon. Also he jabbed nicely on some of his fights but mostly when he fought short and slow guys like Stiverne and Arreola.
Plus he reacts bad to getting pressured/hit. Gallopping back in a straight line with your chin out won't help against the Joshuas or Klitchkos of the world.
Nearly got knocked out against Wlad? And that proves exactly what? That he can be hurt by the arguably biggest punch in the sport?

Wlad's right is arguably just as powerful as Wilder's and more importantly he has better technique than Wilder. The fact that he landed that punch on Joshua doesn't mean the less skilled Wilder would land his the same way especially that Wlad has more weapons not just that straight right so he is less predictable.
I'm not talking about politics, when the fight will happen, will it happen...? etc questions just about what would happen if they would actually fight.
