    He loses to Holyfield, unsure with Douglas. Douglas wasn’t fleet of foot, but he had a decent jab and could box, but he made that work against Tyson because Tyson couldn’t catch him from range, but you look at his Tucker fight, and Tucker could catch him from range.

    If wilder catches him from range, it could spell trouble, and with Douglas’ relatively flat feet, it’s certainly a possibility.

    What do you mean? Are you saying Wilder loses or wins? Are you implying it should be obvious

    Im implying Wilder has shown nothing except a rt hand. Its obvious he's not clearing this list.

    Holyfield
    Tucker
    Spinks
    Toyko Douglas

    Bruno and Smith could go either way.

    Probably loses more than once if he has to take on everyone in particular if there are some rematches there.

    He wouldn't be favored to beat Holyfield over a decade after winning the title, assuming we get to know what Holyfield did to Tyson beforehand.

    He'd obviously be favored over every other opponent on the list, regardless of how upsetting that is to the various Boomers and early Gen Xers on this forum. Being a favorite wouldn't necessarily translate into being undefeated though; there's no telling when he'd severely break his right hand on someone's head and then have a whole fight in front of him

    The same goes for Luis Ortiz.

    Wilder can beat what he can cleanly hit so hes got a chance to run the table. To beat him you have to outbox him or KO him first. Holyfield probably KOs him if he doesn’t get stopped himself. I’m 6 to 5 for Holyfield. Why wasn’t Holmes listed Id have him as a slight favorite to outbox him. Spinks also could be the escape artist like he was against Holmes and take a decision I d make that even money. Douglas at his best has a chance to win decsion but think he’s a slight underdog. The rest will be KOd unless they have power like Bonecrusher who could knock him out first but Wilder is the favorite against him and the rest.

    I think he could struggle with Bruno and Bonecrusher Smith. Tucker couldn't be knocked out by Tyson or Lewis so idk if Wilder could get it done.

    I think Wilder clears the hurdles except against Holyfield and perhaps Tucker, who might let the air out of the tires and win a boring decision.

    He’s probably behind in many of these but Deontay has the touch of sleep.
