Would probably be an easy night for iron Mike in all honesty. Wilder telegraphs his punches. He windmills. He feasts on fat, old and stationary targets. Mike Tyson is one of the fastest Heavyweights we've ever seen. He'd get inside almost immediately and chop Wilder down with ease. Those hooks would just devastate his body.
I disagree. I'm huge fan of Tyson and think he's easily one of the greatest fighters that boxing has produced, but Wilder's jab, mobility, power, and stamina make it a competitive fight, since Tyson even in his prime would get sloppy and walk into shots.

Wilder is not as technically sound or as good a mover as a prime Tony Tucker, Wilder just hits harder and I don't think he has Tucker's chin either.
No ****. The Biggs fight showed me how Tyson would deal with these big unskilled freaks. That being said, Wilder's straight right hand is the strongest in existence... would knock any man out, scary power.
Mike's left uppercut is Wilders worst nightmare in the history of HW boxing, TM would **** him up as well.
Biggs was not an unskilled fighter. He was actually pretty darn good. In fact, I'd pick him over Wilder too. Prime Tyson would run through Wilder like a cannonball through wet toilet paper.
I know, Biggs was undefeated and fought well that night, used his height, reach and superior jab to try and trouble Tyson but it didn't phase Tyson one bit. I'm saying that Tyson can do that to someone like Wilder easily, he's gonna slip and get inside and there wouldn't be anything Wilder could do, his inside game is abysmal but he is dangerous on the outside. Tyson is probably the worst stylistic nightmare for Wilder, I even pick post prison Tyson to KO Wilder early.
I will always stand by this, Mike Tyson, with Cus. The young Mike that wasnt on drugs or wrongly advised, hungry for the sport of boxing and success, will defeat every single heavyweight of all time. He was a killer. He wasnt a showman he wasnt a businessman he was just a stone cold killer.
While Wilder is winding up one of his Windmills, Tyson would be in straight there, huge uppercut, goodnight Deonkay.
To be honest. The Prime Mike Tyson. Before he went to prison. It feels wrong to mention his name in the same sentence as Wilder and Joshua and actually any of the heavyweaights of this era. I almost feel as though I should apologise to Mike for it.
