    Tucker was world class at the time of his bout with Tyson and he certainly gave Tyson more problems than any other fighter during Tyson`s years training under Rooney.

    Brilliant, AJ also said he would take away Wilder`s right hand by going to his body and he has a good body attack.

    I also noticed here that Wilder had trouble with Stiverne`s high guard.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    It's a mismatch alright, but it's that glassed jawed joke Wilder you're shilling for that gets BRUTALLY exposed.

    Tyson KO, 30 seconds. First solid punch landed on that fragile mandible that over-hyped fraud is packing.

    i agree, wilder does not see rd 2... if he does, its from the prone position.

    I agree with this. Also, when Joshua fights Povetkin I'd like to see Joshua use some walking hooks and to shorten up his uppercut. If Joshua starts shortening up his shots guys like Takam and Parker wouldn't last the distance with him.

    I feel Holy could of beaten Wilder, he was a better counter puncher with a great chin, Wilder wouldn`t of been able to knock Tucker out or Bonecrusher who constantly held and had a great chin, Smith had the power and reach to knock Wilder out and Tucker had the boxing skill to give him problems, Tillis was clever enough to last v Wilder also.

    No. Wilder is a lot taller than Tyson so the latter will find it difficult to establish his punch. Tyson will be KO'ed in the late round like Lennox did to him.

    Tyson was superb in spurts against Tilllis, who was very talented, just went through lazy spells in his career.
    Tony Tucker was a very good fighter, I’d fancy him over Wilder.

    There is a reason Joshua and Dillian Whyte are desperate to fight Wilder, he’s awful and there to be smashed.

    Joshua would be done inside 3 rounds against Tyson, doesn’t have any head movement at all, and when Wladimir landed flush, was all over the shop.
    Against Tyson that means the fights over.

    Tyson Fury is huge and awkward, but pulls back chin in the air. Often his reach saves him, but against prime Tyson, you wouldn’t get the luxury of avoiding one shot to be safe doing that, there were 4 or 5 coming.
    Also look at Tyson Fury’s body, which is massively long, does that stand up to a Tyson body assault. No chance.

    Neither of those 3 have a snowballs chance in hell against Mike Tyson, zero!
    And in different ways I rate Joshua and Fury, but Wilder is garbage.

    It's Wilder who would have had the most difficulty in landing flush due to the size disparity.

    He would have found it exceptionally hard to have timed Mike, who was short with a bob and weave style.

    Tyson wasn't even in his prime yet when he fought Mitch Green or Quick Tillis, he had only been a pro
    for about a year.

    As for Tony Tucker, Tucker was a large fairly athletic undefeated tough out, that would
    have beaten everyone on Wilder's resume so saying he's not the level of Wilder is a bit of
    a stretch. And it should also be said that in his prime neither Tyson nor "Lennox" could stop him so
    I'm confused what you're attempting to prove. Tucker wouldn't have been gotten outboxed
    by Gerald Washington or Duhaupas in stretches.

    Tyson most certainly had a style that would've been kryptonite to Wilder. Wilder's biggest
    advantage over opponents, is speed. He ain't faster than Tyson of hand or feet. And Tyson
    could take a lot more punishment that Wilder could.

    Donkey's main problem is he can't ******* fight. Tyson would spark him out cold in 30 seconds if he wanted to, 90 if he took it slow.
