    Yeah but he is a 275 pound heavyweight. And while weight isn't everything for punching power (a 220 pound Wilder hits harder than 275 pound Fury) a 275 pound heavyweight sitting down on his punches can be hurtful.

    This fight could end up like Foreman vs Cooney.

    After trading a few big punches Foreman bludgeons Wilder into oblivion until the ref waves it off.

    Stiff legged Deontay can't get away. He makes Foreman look like a butterfly.

    This would be just like Wilder vs Zelenoff…except Wilder plays the role of Charlie Z.

    Post fight, Wilder blames the loss on his R2D2 pre fight costume.

    The 70s rule. The rest can drool. :lol:

    It could be a Foreman Lyle type battle that George falls just short on. Wilder is faster then Lyle and just as powerful.
