    Tyson's was much more impressive.

    Mike Tyson KOed very good prime heavyweights, while Wilder's KOs were mostly against chinny guys like Szpilka and Breazeale, or faded older boxers like Stiverne and Lyakhovich.

    Tyson has much better combinations, and "speed kills" ideology. He has a far higher knockout percentage in the first round; better skill (better boxer).
    Deontay Wilder has more raw punching power, and I'm surprised that all of his opponents have survived. If Deontay Wilder was boxing 100 years ago, I think it would be different.
    I'm more impressed with Deontay Wilder's power.
    P.S. Deontay Wilder Vs Luis Ortiz 1; there's an uppercut.

    Wilder touches you like a catholic priest and you wake up scarred by it for the rest of your life.

    Tyson was obviously more impressive. Wilders crow hop right hand on a stationary target is definitely the hardest single shot either of them can throw though

    If you don't confuse punching power with punching ability, Wilder seems like a more extraordinary raw power specimen with his best punch. To me. Tyson is just insanely more gifted as a physical specimen and incredibly better trained in his skills. If Wilder had the combinations, the sharpness, the ability to create openings without being so open, the maneuvering with his head and feet, the overall coordination, dear, God, he'd have been laying out respectable guys like Szpilka without any of these grueling stretches of being out-boxed before nearly murdering the opponent. Tyson was phenomenal at boxing. Wilder has been, whatever gripes with his career, phenomenal at obliterating people who are often better operators than he is on a pure skill level.
