    Two tall and tough fighters, who would win, I think Wilder would stop him in later rounds...

    Say what you like about Wilder but he had guts and balls...and was never disqualified for holding in his defining fight so I suspect Deontay blasts Henry.

    I’m going to favor Wilder to stop Akinwande at some point

    Much like most Wilder fights he will be losing until he isn't via a brutal, highlight reel knock out.

    Well Akinwande did beat Fury.......albeit Tysons dad.

    However Mr Wilder detonates on Akinwandes chin, and Henry has a rest on the canvas.

    TIMBER.................

    If Henry Akinwande had more of a killer instinct he could've been a force. I can't remember fighters name but I remember Akinwande destroying the opponent in opening round, and I remember thinking to myself why doesn't he fight like this more often ?

    Akinwande had the size to be really good unfortunately he didn't have the killer instinct you need at top level.

    Overall Akinwande would probably be intimidated by Wilder and he would be KO'ed.

    I think the same as many Akinwande had a great talent,skills and power but he lacked self-confidence, he could have been a great champion, a waste of talent imo
