    I feel if they fought 10 times it'd be 6-4 or 5-5 with a fairly diverse collection of outcomes.

    Tucker wouldn't try to win. He'd drop a decision or get stopped.

    Tucker is the better boxer but Wilder can definitely ko him.

    I think it'd be 7-3 Tucker's way

    Tucker would go the distance, he'd put in a good defensive display, but he'd lose a decision.

    Agreed.

    He's one of those guys that goes into his "safety first" approach. Early. Wilder's early punching power would have him in that survival mode & he'd do his Joe Bugner thing and drop a decision. Dreary bout to watch with tons of posing.

    Tucker is as good as Tyson Fury, though not as large

    Tyson and Lennox Lewis couldn't stop him.

    I'll be odd man out here......................yeah Tucker could try to dance to a loss but I think he actually beats Wilder. Tucker had enough power to hurt Wilder and actually was good enough as a mover to outbox Wilder on the backfoot.

    Tucker is a level above Wilder. Much better boxer. And, he moved well with a great chin. He would confuse Wilder all night. I see him stopping a tiring Wilder in the later rounds.

    Orlin Norris was a very smart fighter who should have fought at cruiserweight his whole career... Wilder has not showed me too much against good boxers.. I still would go for Tucker if he fought a smart fight

    Well after dismantling Chisora I am 90% confident Wilder would drag Tucker into the trenches and TKO him.
