    I think Wilder would have stopped McCall (I know, Oliver had a great chin) and knocked Rahman silly.

    But Steward-era Lewis? Nahhhh.

    Wilder has maybe a 10-20% chance of getting lucky and stopping Lewis. Wilder has a zero % chance of stopping McCall. Quite frankly, not sure Wilder beats McCall.

    McCall did have a really good punch...I guess I was just never a big fan of his style.

    Yeah this is what people forget. You don’t do that by being a bad fighter.

    People also forget Lewis got KTFO twice by boxers with power inferior to Wilders power. Lewis is a much better boxer technically than Wilder. But his chin won't be able to take the Bomb Squad explosion that comes in the 9th round. Yeah, that's right: Wilder by KO.

    Wilder KO Lewis in the first fight with the luckiest out of nowhere right hand. A rematch then happens and Lewis absolutely destroys him.

    I think this is quite conceivable.

    True, would have to say that Lewis wins every round cruising to a wide UD in a rematch if no KO

    Wilder would have brought out the dirty, aggressive beast out of Lewis, like Michael Grant did.

    Yeah, it's like Lewis was offended by tall guys and hated them.

    Where is the poll option for Lewis shortly after the stare down?

    This is a really hard question.

    A slow-starting stringbean with no footwork, no jab, no punch variety with one good trick, who feasted on bums his entire career, vs a bigger, stronger, certified ATG with a full arsenal of punches who could start extremely fast if he had to.

    Maybe I'll take the guy that didn't get knocked out by Tyson Fury.

    Deontay Wilder was grown in a lab to make boxing pundits look stupid. He’s a min-maxed Fight Night Champion character who spent his EXP exclusively on “Right Straight.” The man’s style is drowning in red flags and yet he just hits so goddamn hard that it didn’t even matter. Tyson Fury picked him apart after Kronk Gym training what do you think Lennox would do to him? Wilder stands a better chance of getting a traumatic brain injury from Lennox than he has of winning.
