    Could a prime Tucker out box Wilder and end his undefeated streak?



    Mods: I think this is in the right section if not, didn't put it here purposely

    No. Tucker would find a way to lose, probably by not letting his hands go.

    Thats the problem I see here too.
    Tucker had to land something big on Wilder to get going. Which won´t happen without looking for it. Boxing might work some time, but keeps Tucker in danger of getting tagged big.

    I think if Tucker boxes, he just gets damaged too often (with his chin keeping him in the fight) and would´ve lost many rounds.

    Its hard to see Tucker winning this. But he might give a very good fight.

    Tucker did survive the power of a prime Tyson and Lewis.

    He went into the Tyson fight with a damaged hand, otherwise he might have done a bit better.

    Is there some sort of proof for this?

    Look at how badly Wilder struggled with Ortiz.
    Wilder is totally unproven.

    I would have to say tucker wins this. Wilder spends too much time looking for a single right hand. He would give up rounds.maybe hurt tucker in one or two rounds but he would lose all the other rounds!!

    Prime Tucker is much fresher and more mobile than Ortiz and has a proven chin. He should be able to weather any rough patches.

    Tucker could win, in a.competitive fight, but he didn't have a great deal to show in his prime.

    Let's wait for the fury fight. It would tell us more. If Wilder wins the fight without being down on the cards then I would favor him

    I don't see why Tucker couldn't pull off a win here. Excellent boxer, mobile and solid chin. Beat a excellent boxer in Douglas ,lost on points to a prime killer Tyson and long after his own prime went 12 with Big punching Lenny.
