    You just can't bring up any HW just because a giant of a man beat Wilder up.

    Little things like height and reach count in boxing, Wilder just couldn't get out of the way of Fury's jab and right hand.

    Imagine picking HIDE and his chin over Wilder........Prime Hide getting sparked by a journeyman

    Didn't Herbie get knocked out by a missed punch too?

    This thread is those who could. Hide punched hard. Bowe said he hit him the hardest. Hide had good speed, top power and boxing ability. He could spark Wilder too. Or get sparked.

    He could if Wilder's hands were tied behind his back and his head was put in stocks. Otherwise it's a ridiculous prediction.

    Lewis probably Bruno. Bugner would beat Wilder probably not KO him.

    Bruno could never have taken the shots Fury was throwing last night.

    Them shots hitting Wilder were hard as hell and he took so many, his face was a mess, Grant was rocked in a bout v a low level fighter in a bout before Lewis exposed him.

    We dont know that. Anyway I said he probably wouldn't stop him but Wilder didnt look strong as all. He had no balance. He couldnt cope with pressure from a guy with a good skill set.

    Bugner couldn`t slip right hands while coming forwards like Fury did and didn`t have the reach that Fury exploited, look how many times Wildder posted with his lead hnd, Fury has a 85 inch reach and was far bigger than Bugner using all that weight grabbing and pushing down on Wilder`s head in the clinch.

    I actually think Hide hit a lot harder than Fury, and was a far better boxer than Wilder. He had a glass chin so Wilder could take him out but the opposite is also possible. Wilder's team avoided punchers for a reason. A pick 'em fight as Hide was so chinny.

    With certainty, only Lewis.
    Possibly Bruno.
    I’m struggling now.
