1. Tyson ices him 2. Holmes survives one or two scares to decision him. 3. Witherspoon prevails in a seesaw battle more often than not, but only if in top condition. Ditto Holyfield. 4. Pick-em: Michael Spinks, Page (at his best), Tucker, Tubbs. 5. Wilder comes from behind to stop or win a close decision against Thomas, Biggs, Dokes, Coetzee, Williams, Bruno, Douglas, Tate, and Damiani 6. Bonecrusher loses a one sided fight by late tko or decision 7. Wilder lays out Cooney, Leon, Frazier, Shavers, Berbick, Ruddock, and Weaver
Good call but you should put under number 8. Wilder has a good chance of sparking them all out should he land the Death Bolt.
I don't think he could though that's the thing, i reckon a temple shot would hurt Tyson like no one before.
I keep remembering some second tier hvyweight named Buster Douglas laying that type of powershot on Tyson and Tyson on the floor, having some serious problem with his own mouthpiece.
I don't think he'd fare too well. I saw the highlights of his most recent fight. He has a good straight right - but not much else. He has really spindly legs. How good is his chin? "Wilder" describes more than just his surname - He makes '70s Foreman look very precise.
You could start by watching the fight. He has very good legs and that's part of why he's made it this far. He recovered from being badly hurt and carried his power late because his legs are very good.
Ali spoke candidly about a number of heavyweight champs' weaknesses and limitations, but his observations all became null and void once those fighters were canonized as ATGs.
It's not like it was a punch that cam out of nowhere ala McCall/Lewis. Douglas had to slowly grind Tyson down over ten rounds
