    If Wilder went back in time and fought the same guys that Tyson fought, how would he do?

    He'd struggle with

    Ruddock
    Tillis
    Green
    Carl Williams
    Bonecrusher Smith
    Tony Tucker
    Bruno in the right frame of mind would be a nightmare for him especially behind the jab.

    Lewis would demolish him
    Holyfield would UD him (too small to TKO him IMO)


    In every way; head to head against Tyson; comparing resumes and competition and everything in between Wilder is far far below Tyson.

    Lose to: Tucker Thomas Tubbs Smith ruddock holmes holyfield Lewis botha(maybe) golota

    I think Savarese, francis etienne and Danny williams is the kind of guys Wilder is fighting now,

    Robin Givens will wipe out his bank account and Desiree Washington will strip him bare and send him to penitentiary.
    After conversion Botha knocks him out into Bolivian.

    I think he does well until Tillis, who knocks him spark out, crushes his confidence and after that Wilder loses ambition and goes down the tubes.

    Shot Holmes would have dominated him.
    Frank Bruno would have RAPED Wilder.
    Ruddock would have gotten UD12s vs. Wilder.
    Lewis would have KO'd Deontay worse than Grant.
    Prime Danny Williams would have had a good shot at KOing Deontay, although he'd be the underdog.

    Here's a list of guys Wilder would have beaten hands down, just the bottom of the barrel:
    Bruce Seldon
    Peter McNeely
    Kevin McBride

    Interesting. I think Holyfield despite being smaller is by far the better boxer. Stood up to massive punchers in Tyson and Lewis amongst others and had the skills to really put a beat down on Windmill Wilder I could Holy forcing a stoppage. He's been hurt by tubs of lard never mind an elite level ATG

    Holy to pure in every department for wilder...Definitely imo stops him...I think it would look embarrassing for wilder. All hes got is height on him. Swamped in every other department

    The forgotten generation of the 80's heavys, would all be too much for wilder...Hes not schooled enough to compete with them, they were legit fighters.

    Tyson beats Cris RIGHT NOW. 80's Tyson would go through him like a hot knife through butter. One round tops

    Id have liked to have seen him again Bruno...Big Frank if he got the jab going would have had him outta there.
    Sure Bruno was vulnerable but Wilder is so uncoordinated at times - Bruno's straight shots would have shattered glass.

    I can't see Wilder living up to some of the top guys from 80's and 90's - he's only a belt holder because of dearth of legit heavyweight talent
