Ridiculous. A focused Lewis would demolish him 0 difficulty. Rahman has a better resume than Wilder, you can't make this up. and Mccall had a cast iron chin unlike Wilder. Who has Wilder beaten that makes you hype him up so much ? and don't say fossil Ortiz
Listen lewis prime would use Wilder as a warm then march Fury in & beat him ... Thats a dream fight that came to mind as typed this Fury & Vitali...my moneys on Vitali...
Fury with only about 7 weeks to learn the Kronk style was able to dominate Wilder, how on earth is Wilder supposed to beat Lewis who to this day is the best exponent of that style at heavyweight? The question shouldn't be if Lewis wins it should be, does Wilder make it to rd 3? Sure against an unfocused Lewis like the one vs Rahman, Wilder has a punchers chance with his right hand but against a focused Lewis I can only see one outcome. Lewis pushes him back with the jab, sets him up for the right hand and KO's him violently.
How is this debate? Lewis beat over dozen guys in his career that were more talented boxers. Wilder is a modern day less skilled Michael Grant.
Wilder is much faster and more explosive whereas Michael Grant was methodical and sort of clumsy but he was actually more sound with his basic fundamentals and in addition to that Michael Grant was far more massive at 250-260lb and surprisingly had a better resume than Wilder with wins over Golota, Izon and Savarese. People that give Wilder more than a punchers chance against a focused Lewis must be smoking some powerful unidentified kush. This would not be a competitive fight. Lewis would utterly and violently destroy his soul
Imagine Wilder being on the end of the right hand that razor ruddock recieved. Wilders twig legs would have snapped in half.
Even if Wilder showed up naked without the heavy costume that "cost him" his opportunity to beat Fury, i still think Lewis poops on him. Easy work.
Hmm let's see here. A top 5 ATG heavy, with multiple wins over elite fighters, who beat future HOF'ers even when washed up (TKO6). Or... A paper champion who never beat a genuine contender, nevermind an elite fighter - beat gatekeepers and journeymen, then struggled to a highly contentious (read: robbery) draw against a half-fit top level fighter, then absolutely humiliated in the rematch the only time he dared step up. Mismatch doesn't get close to doing justice to the insanity of this question. GTFO of here, anyone who picks Wilder simply DKSAB.
True. And give current Lewis a three or four month training camp and he could still probably beat Wilder.
Wilder looks across the ring and with the accompanying sound of a long wet fart, collapses in a heap of his own excrement & urine. Lewis by acute defecation in round 0
