    Outside of Usyk, what heavyweight would you send in to beat the Tyson of 1988.

    Not win, but give me the Fury who faced Wlad or Wilder II.

    Fury. Wouldn't favor but I'd give him close to even odds.

    After that the odds drop massively, I might even take Wilder as the next likely. His unpredictability compared to someone like Joshua, would give him a better chance of landing something.

    Obviously no, but I do think it’d be a tougher match for Tyson than most would think.

    Wilder could punch very hard, but I don’t think Tyson could be sparked with one punch. The shots he absorbed from Ruddock, who was a KO artist like Wilder, were hellacious.

    Which is why I said, I don't particularly like Wilder's chances but I struggle to see anyone with a higher chance. I also think Wilder was a harder puncher than Ruddock.

    Yeah I think he did hit harder, but I still think they were in the same ball park as far as power goes.
