    he says he's the most feared heavyweight in the world and everyone is afraid of him.

    if that is true, how would he do against...
    Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Foreman, Lewis, Mercer, Moorer, etc. ???

    Everyone would knock him out.

    I think he'd do well. He'd retire unbeaten. Plenty of bums and cans to feast on even back then.

    Imagine someone like Lewis or Mercer detonating on Wilder's whiskers, it would be one of the biggest chin shattering's this world has ever seen.

    For sheer guaranteed entertainment value, I would've paid damn good money to see Wilder vs Morrison. Or Mercer, for that matter.

    Tyson stops Wilder early, probably in the first.
    Holyfield stops him fairly early as well, probably finishes him off with a nice counter, Douglas style, in round 3.
    Bowe stops him early as well, lets say round 3.
    Foreman was slow but would get to him eventually, perhaps round 6.
    Lewis annihilates him in the first round.
    Mercer would break him down and stop him by round 5.
    Moorer could get knocked out here but I see him stopping Wilder by round 7 more likely.

    Later 90s guys like Tua and Ibeabuchi certainly stop him.
    Morrison knocks him unconscious.
    Ruddock knocks him unconscious.
    Plenty of others out there that I've forgotten that would beat him as well from the 90s.

    The only one of them who would be afraid of Wilder was Bowe who dodged Lewis who at the time was throwing wild rights the same way Wilder often does, Lewis though by the late 90`s had straightened his right and would have destroyed Wilder and having said Lewis was dreadful in the early 90`s he beat Ruddock who was very simular to Wilder. The Holyfield of the first Bowe fight would have a simular night v DW but the Holy who won the rematch would toy with him! Foreman could take his power and would KO him, Mercer would out jab him in a simular fight to the one he had with Lewis depending on how small the ring was. Moorer couldn`t take Wilder`s power. Tyson was on the slide in the 90`s so that`s a pick `em.

    Tyson was easier to hit in the 90`s, the Tyson that lost to Holy in the fist fight would a lot of rights his head movement was better in the second fight though. Wilder is always in better shape than Douglas was the night he lost to Holy. Bowe would dodge him like how he dodged a green Lewis. Lewis would beat him the same way he beat Ruddock and later on that decade he improved. The Morrison fight vs DW would be like Morrison v Ruddock as for Ruddock the same deal all three were defensively naive and powerful.

    Yeah that's true. Perhaps it's not 100% certain the likes of Ruddock and Morrison would knock him out but I would certainly favour them.

    If he would take VADA with him, he probably can avoid all big names from that era too... maybe pick up a WBC strap and only defend it against guys he can beat.
