Holyfield: Wilder Like Mike Tyson, May Be Best Of Era

Breidis might just manage to clean house on the super heavies and he isn't a pimple on prime Holy's frequently-injected black ass. :yep

 

Holyfield was a modern Cruiserweight (he was Undisputed at 190, so 200 would have kept him in)

Wilder sparks any ATG from the past, mainly because they were physically smaller & slower! I would not want to see an older Ali or Holyfield get harmed by Hyper speed punches thrown by a bigger man

 

Lewis was the man of the era. Holyfield fought Tyson in the Lewis ruled era.

 

Wilder is 6'8" faster than anybody in the list. Do you really want to see an out of range Ali letting Wilder hit him on the ropes :roll:

Foreman is a bully that got exposed by Ali/Young, he can hurt Frazier/Tyson because of his upper cuts & their uppercut vulnerable style

Shavers is no longer big/bad in this era

No Heavyweight is as fast Deontay Wilder, he is a 6'8" scaled-up Panama Al :think

 

"knocks down". :rofl

 

Na man Wilder has a long ways to go. Has great power, about it. It's the only thing from losing against journeymen and even then, he still struggles. Doesn't happen to Ggg. Big difference.

 

Wilder's lack of quality jab, footwork and positioning may be his downfall, we will see.

 

He has a relatively good jab, I agree it has improved. However, it is still far away from top quality heavyweight jabs.

I was expecting him to make a light work of Szpilka, but after hearing what happened, I had to watch the fight and his jab isn't really what it should be for a boxer of his size. Also, he still has problems with movement and doesn't have very good foot movement of his own.

I'd make him a slight favorite over Povetkin but surely wouldn't favor him against the top 2 guys at this point.
