    From a KO percentage standpoint Deontay has the edge but Tyson was vicious with both his hands not just a right like Wilder. Who impressed/s you more with their power output?

    Mike Tyson, by a considerable distance. He could have kayoed a buffalo and he could also do it with both hands.

    Wilder could KO very large men like Breazeale in one punch, gotta go with him.

    I'd give Wilder the edge unless we're talking tinkerbell 88 Mike.

    How is this even a question? Tyson Ko'd the best in his division and Wilder Ko'd sick guys and bums.

    Wilder's. Mike was extremely explosive and fast, but as far as power goes, Wilder has him beat by a good margin.

    Mike preferred the uppercut, while Wilder’s KO punch is the straight right. So comparison ain’t perfect. I would argue that blow by blow, Wilder has more power per punch.

    However, if I’m correct I would also say (on average) the perfect uppercut is more devastating than the perfect straight right. I mean you literally check the chin with an uppercut. In that regard, Tyson had the more “dangerous” punch so to speak.

    Deontay Wilder knocks out guys like Quick Tillis, Buster Douglas, Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.

    He doesn't lose to nearly all of them.

    arsenal wise =Tyson by far... actually wilder doesnt have one.
    power by 1 shot = Wilder(the windmill effect is strong in this one).

    The Dosser's knees would be shaking like a pooping dog's at the face offs and if he dared utter anything about wanting a body on his record Mike would grant him his wish.

    Just like Tyson would KO Fury.

    Fury wouldn't last as long as he did with Wilder if he fought Tyson that many times. No way.

    the best in Tysons divison at the time was Lewis & Holyfield. He couldn't KO them amd got his ass kicked.
