    Mike Tyson is so much more skilled than Wilder, that I could see Tyson outworking Wilder just by using jabs.

    And it wouldn't shock if Tyson KO's Wilder with jab. Wilder is known to have problems against great jabs. Especially in his early career when he got floored by that morbibly obese bartender.

    I think Nichols could outbox Wilder using check jabs alone, never mind Tyson. I had Nichols 10-8 up in that first round vs. Wilder before it was controversially stopped.

    No way, Tyson`s jab was good because it set up his power punches, his arms are too short for him to out jab any heavyweight, his jab was much better than Wilder`s though, but if yo look at his fights he didn`t land enough of them to out point an opponent, Wilder would start walking through Tyson`s jab, it was a fast punch but not powerful like Foreman or Liston`s jabs.

    Tyson outboxed many fighters with 80+ reach.

    i dont think so, mike would have to get past wilders reach, which he would most of the time, but wilders windmills would outdo a tyson jab once inside.

    Wilder has demonstrated more power punching than Tyson

    I'm not comparing their resumes or level of opposition but

    Deontay has put down everyone he's stepped in there with. In 40 fights. That's mythical power

    Doubt it,Mike Tyson doesn’t spring to mind when I’m thinking jabs....Lennox Lewis on the other hand does.
