    I don't think Larry would even TKO Deontay, but I see him controlling the entire fight...even after what seems to me a very possible knockdown.

    I like Wilder best out of the heavies today because he's like a heavy Hearns...though almost entirely because of his right hand (I'm fully aware he has a LOOOOOOONG way to go to be anywhere near the overall caliber of a Thomas). He direly needs a Steward or Futch-level trainer to give him a super jab. Once he's got that he'll mow everyone over imo.

    The scorecards would probably read like Holmes-Berbick, though Deontay might get a 10-8 knockdown round. I see Larry doing just as he did against Shavers and Snipes...getting back up and pretty much back in control by the end of the round.

    Prime Holmes by murder. The cops would be ring side with a pre-written warrant. No other outcome possible. Thing is Holmes would ktfo Wilder very early. Maybe first or second round.....unless he wanted it to go longer.

    Wilder has absolutely zero chance in this matchup. Not even a remote puncher's chance.

    I think you'd see something like the Cooney Holmes fight, Larry would stick him for about 4 rounds then hurt Wider with a straight right to the head. He'd stop Wilder about 3 or 4 rounds later, not to say it'd be easy. Honestly , Wilder is as dangerous as they come ,he just isn't skilled enough to handle Larry Holmes

    So Wilder is now Alkie Cooney who never picked up a belt or defended one ?

    One trick Pony shavers, green Witherspoon/Williams/Snipes ran larry on the wire but he is just going to walk thru Wilder?

    Holmes was always open to the right hand, guess whats Wilders best punch.........plus Wilder has serious speed of hand /foot, has a considerable size advantage closes the distance quick, has a great chin and comes to win......can fight 12 or 15 with no stamina problems..

    Holmes "should" win but it aint no cake walk and he aint stopping Wilder, Holmes will fight tactical safe to get a UD, if someone is getting KO'ed its Holmes.

    On this board Wilder is a total bum.....so why dont you armchair pistoleros step into the Ring and wax him real quick, the easiest way to get fame a fortune.......and why is the greatest fighter since Ali, according to this board, Tyson Fluffy MIA when it comes to a rematch.....it should be a mere formality to KO that bum Wilder in a round or two...

    Holmes would control that bum from the start; Gerald Washington had Wilder flummoxed with the jab, Holmes' jab would send Wilder back to kindergarden. Holmes is a big step up from fighting (and nearly losing to) guys off the fat farm and old angry turtles.

    Reading comprehension ain't your strong suit is it? I SAID the fight would go like the Cooney fight, not that Wilder is anything like Cooney. I said it wouldn't be easy and that Wilder is as dangerous as they come, find someone to explain that to you.. And yes, I said he wasn't skilled enough to handle a top 5 or 6 all-time heavyweight. That is a factual statement that I stand by.
