Mike Tyson vs Deontay Wilder

Iron Mike KO 1

The skill gap isn't even a gap, but a chasm

 

Despite the height advantage, Wilder does none of the things well that troubled Mike.
Seriously KO1 if Mike goes for him right away.

 

Tyson beats all the guys now including Usyk and Fury

No that isn't rose tinted glasses, it is a fact. The Heavies like Tucker,Tubbs, Thomas, Bruno, Douglas, Ruddock etc are underrated. Spinks and even an old Holmes who fought after Tyson where very good wins. Nobody else treated Holmes like that post Tyson

Mike was a sensational front runner for a 5 or 6 year period and still pretty formidable post prison. In fact I pick any version of Tyson to smash Wilder other than the version that lost to Williams and McBride

He would absolutely kill Anthony Joshua while we are on the subject. He would do a ruiz on him within 3 or 4 rounds.

Smashes Fury to bits also, though around the time of Wkad it may be awkward due to his size and movement

The Hard on for Usyk on this board is also a bit much. A guy that take rounds to figure out the likes of Bellew and Chisora has no business being in with an 80s Tyson. His fragile body would be broken to bits

Nope, none of these guys beat Mike, only Fury probably troubles him. That's Fury from 8 years ago

 

Agreed. Modern training may advance some, but the level of athlete for Heavyweight has declined big style since the 80s/90s

Both Klitschko brothers would hold the belts now if they where in their prime

 

Usyk would lose to both I think. He is high skilled and has great stamina, but Wlad especially would just grab and jab while throwing am odd right hand

I think both the brothers are better Heavyweights than Fury and Usyk

Usyk has only fought one very good fighter at Heavyweight, who would also lose to both brothers

Wlad would have beaten Fury in a rematch and an older Wlad kind of let Aj off the hook. Great win from Joshua. I can't fault that

 

It would be like Hearns vs Hagler except Wilder is not as good a Hearns. KO2 88 Mike.

 

Wilder is a joke and the worst excuse for a high profile champion in the past twenty years. Back in the day Tyson took out twigs like him without breaking a sweat. Hell, even Tommy Morrison did the same.

Wilder and his fans are a joke.

 

A repeat of Jose Ribalta fight another tall slim 6'6 fighter Tyson destroyed except Wilder doesn't last as long.

 

A horrible stylistic match up for Wilder, where his size would actually have been a disadvantage for him in this specific match up.

Mike would have been far too elusive.

Wilder wouldn’t have had the time and the space to have landed a huge power punch.

Mike would have slipped inside of his range with ease.

Mike would have taken him out.

 

Wilder goes down hard and fast

 

After all the **** Deontay has talked, if these men both found a fountain of youth and went at it prime for prime, don't even bother with an ambulance for the fraudster. Just have a hearse waiting.

 

Tyson inside the first minute.

 

Wilder's only chance is if he hits him first somehow. No fight will get more KO written over it than this.

 

Mike Tyson by KO in just 2-3 rounds.

Deontay Wilder is a very human champion, but his boxing is very limited, he's got nothing special apart from an overpowering right. He could beat the Mike Tyson of 2008, but certainly not the Mike Tyson of the 80s and 90s.
