Did Mike Tyson have the best style to beat Wilder?

    So many fighters have gotten to Wilder before he eventually catches them with the hail mary... Duhaupas, Molina, Spzilka & Ortiz are the fights I've seen Wilder go all bambi legs.

    If those guys can find his chin then Iron Mike would have almost killed the guy.

    Seriously. This fight is over in 30 seconds or less. Tyson SHATTERS that glass jaw Wilder's packing.

    When you and your Tyson bum boys
    This content is protected
    making wild claims about him, you need to know that he has had 4 UDs before he reached his loss to bum Buster Douglas.

    After that- he was just an average HW picking up losses to the likes of a roided CW like Holyfield. He wasnt anything special mate. So stop pretending that Tyson blasts out AJ, Wilder and everyone else early. Its stupid. Stop.

    Wilder has a punchers chance and height/reach edge. That is enough to give him a 20-25% overall chance of victory. Mike was wayyy more skilled.

    Got to go with mike on this one, his offence was also his best defence.

    Wilder would not see round four, mike would just be relentless and swarm all over him.

    That's actually one of his few good attributes, he's very calm under fire.

    true, although to be fair, if your best opponent was a 40 year old man with a zero track record on the world title stage then, you'd never need to panic.

    it'd be interesting to see how fast he gibbers and runs if he saw tyson was climbing into the ring with him.

    I'm not for a moment entertaining the argument that he would beat Tyson.

    This. Tyson would definitely be effictive against Wilder in the early and middle rounds, but Tyson even in his prime didn't carry his power in the later rounds, which is where he could find himself in trouble against Wilder, who does carry his power late.

    I actuallh think a Jimmy Young type fighter would be the biggest challenge for Wilder. I could see a prime Chris Byrd or a Prime Jimmy Young wearing Wilder down and beating him on points.
