    Wilder and Tyson are 2 completely different types of fighters, but both have awesome power, unfortunately, power isn't everything in boxing, in skillset

    Tyson









    ....















    Wilder

    Two totally different kind of punchers. Tyson was more of a speed, combination and precision puncher with both hands. Wilder has savage power in his right hand only and 'windmills' shots (which I don't think is a bad thing it is awkward and can work in his favor)

    From what fleeting glimpses I saw in the Liakhovic fight, wilder has atrocious defense and pulls his head straight back, which might work against shorter guys, but the taller fighters in the dvision will exploit that.

    Wilders ending of Liakhovic got set up by a sneaky left hook. Wilder is a little more then just a big right hand.

    This bambi on ice takes delusion to a new level.

    If he took on anyone with a pulse he would be leaving the ring on a stetcher after 5 minutes.

    Oh, I can't wait until this glass-jawed joke gets starched by the first decent fighter he faces. :nod

    Thats just blowed, he holds no advantages over Tyson except reach.
    Mike stopped guys that didn't fold with the first shot. Holler back
    when you show you can do that.

    He can talk when he puts people like Larry Holmes on their backs.

    It's easy to look like you "hit hard" when you face the collection of stiffs Wilder has.
