    Wilder has a slightly more powerful right hand and speed wise they are probably equal. All the other advantages are with Lewis - technique, power in both hands, inside game, physical strength, reach (despite being 2 inches shorter).

    Lewis will know how dangerous Wilder can be and would aim to take him out early at close range. He wouldn't risk a jab to points victory against someone who is taller than him.

    If Rahman and McCall can land their rights, Windmiller Wilder can too.

    Of course he can, but by that logic he should've lost to Bruno, Vitali, Morrison, Tua, Briggs and Mercer. And Lewis didn't loose a round to McCall in the rematch, although its a weird one. And he pulverised Rahman.

    Being able to do it and actually doing it are two different things. I mean there's no right answer, except Wilder outboxing Lewis to win a decision, but I don't even think Wilder makes it 3 rounds

    It's a 50/590 fight IMO. Either outcome wouldn't shock me

    Did you hit the pipe today? Both guys would starch Wilder. Wilder took around 10 rounds to stop Szpilka, Molina, Duhaupas and a geriatric Ortiz. This isn't a 50/50 fight. It's a 95/5 Lewis fight. Lewis literally does everything better than Wilder. 1-2 brutally KO's this joke inside 4 rounds.

    Wilder says we're living in an era where everybody knows the name of the HW Champ.

    I think id have to agree with him on that :smile:

    Wilder has a puncher's chance. But he's so wild that it's a small puncher's chance. Lennox KOs him early.

    Wilder has a puncher's chance, but only if Lewis underestimates him and shows up unmotivated and not in the best shape, as he was when he faced Rahman or Vitali.

    I'd favor Lewis, but Wilder is a problem for anybody...his speed and power are extremely rare and not something you see often.

    Wrong.
    Wilder couldn't even KO Charlie Z when Lewis brutally finished a lot of top fighters, and many of them early.

    Wilder would be lucky to get out of the first round but wouldn’t last two rounds.
    Everything Lewis throws has knock out written on it for Wilder, whose chin wouldn’t be able to take Lewis’s jab.

    Once wobbled Lewis would finish him in brutal fashion with a left uppercut right cross combination.
