    I feel the shots Tyson took in this vid proves he would have a good chance while his mind was relaxed of taking Wilder`s right hand, am I wrong?

    I think the question now is, could Tyson have taken Hughie Fury's straight counter, and know that now I think we all now know now the answer is no.

    I'd be more worried about the medics getting to Bum Squad in time once Mike landed on him.

    No, for all the ripping Wilder gets if he lands one of his big right hands nice crisp and flush and at full power he hurts his opponant. But against Tyson he wouldnt get the chance anyway. KO round 1 to Tyson.

    Not sure Wilder could windmill low enough considering Tyson stature and ability - at his peak - to roll under punches. One windmill and then Wilder would look and see Tyson inside and hooking. Then he would see lights and feel canvas on his back....

    why is bronze bummer being mentioned in the same thread as tyson.

    BB's best win is a guy of the type whom 18/19 year old tyson was demolishing inside 3 rounds every month in order to break into the top 10.


    BB is a frekin joke he has pyssed on the world title, treated it worse than the Klitschkos did, and I never thought that would be possible. WIlder has turned the world title into an "international belt" by defending at best agaisnt 38 year old gatekeeper types. AT BEST!

    I like to laugh and joke about Wilder as much as the next poster but his power is legit and he could hurt anyone at any time he landed. The thing is I see top fighters blowing him away before that becomes a factor.

    Would Tyson be able to take Wilders best shots, Errm let me think...

    Lets just say if they were both active and in the same era, one needs to ask a simple question.

    Would Mike sign up for it? Hell yes...

    Would Wilder? Siht no, Wilder wont even face Joshua, a slow pondering big man who he should have no problem defeating if he is all that...

    But against Mike who faced big big men and beat the crap out of them, fought and beat smaller lighter allegedly quicker men with ease...

    The fight would not happen because son of Luther Vandross would be too worried if he would make the ring walk before passing out in front of George Benson fans...

    Mike by absolute absolute 100% knockout when they touch gloves before the start of the first.

    No way Jessica would even get in the ring with Tyson.

    If he landed flush more than once prob not (Wilder for all his faults has genuine elite level power) but the problem is he'd have to land in the first place, and the early Tyson could have avoided those windmills with one eye-closed and drunk.

    Not always. He landed plenty on Stiverne in the first fight and never hurt him. Mike could take some shots from him for sure, which would spell doom for Wilder. I don't even see him landing on Mike actually, he's so wild and would be ktfo quickly. You cannot be wild against Mike.

    Probably not, if he was blind folded.

    Tyson vs Wilder would last about 30-60 seconds. Tyson would come straight forward bobbing and weaving until he got in range and would murder Wilder. Tyson's head movement during his prime was sensational. He tucks his chin in, puts his head down. Wilder would probably break his hand on Tysons head if he did land his big right lol

    Tyson has a far better chance of standing up to Wilders power than vice versa. Let's just leave it at that.

    No human can take Wilder's best shot without going to sleep. He hits too hard. The question is if he can get that shot off.
