    Or just for the LOL's and happy KO memories make it a combo of prime Povetkin and prime David Price.

    George Foreman mixed with Usyk’s skills and finesse would be terrifying.

    Usyk and Chris Byrd.

    Usyk's skills combined with Byrd's slickness and awkwardness.

    Prime Foreman with Floyd Patterson's handspeed.

    Vitali with Sonny Liston's aura and mean streak.

    That's as good as any. Not going to read this fantasy thread beyond p1.

    But if you didn't limit to HWs, then a 6'4 to 6'6 Duran or Ray Robinson. Bigger versions of many others from the lighter divisions would beat most top HWs.

    I don't rate Wilder's skills or ring IQ very highly but Ali with one punch KO power would be a near impossible opponent.

    Tyson Fury's dimensions and IQ, and Mike Tyson's physique, aggression, combinations, speed and sharpness would be a terrifying beast.

    Agree that would be great however there's little evidence that Wilder's power equates at the elite level. taking into account that the only elite fighter he fought on three occasions he failed to knockout. It's not even the case that Fury was considered iron chinned in the first place..
    Therefore Wilder's power is hyperthetical at best. ergo overrated.

    No, Tyson`s speed was amazing at heavyweight but his height and reach hurt him against tyhe inferior Douglas, at middleweight Tyson`s speed would have been unmatched he would have destroyed everyone, he was punching above his weight at heavyweight.
