D.Wilder would have a great chance of knocking out prime Holy and Bowe.

    No.
    Like he has a punchers chance but against those 2 especially he is very far out of his depth, moreso than if he was facing Lewis (and I still think Lewis Grants him)
    Bowe and Holyfield were both incredible inside fighters with much better punch selection than Wilder with better chins than anyone he's faced, and Evander probably had more heart as well. Both KO Wilder at some point, Bowe probably does it in 4

    People tend to infatuate their thought process about who beats who with the value of punching power to the point that they disregard the value of skill and know how.
    Watching Wilder, I have come to see he can be outboxed by fighter with much lesser skill than Holyfield and Bowe.
    Those of that thinking should take a look back at what people were predicting before the first Holyfield-Tyson fight.
    For just about everyone it wasn't about who would win but about whether Holyfield would survive the 1st round.

    Having said that, Wilder's size and punching power is going to make him a tough beat for anyone, but you give me a Bowe or Holyfield, and I'd pick both of those to not only beat but dominate Deontay Wilder.
