Wilder v prime Tua who would have won?

Rummy Wilder may well take him, but if Tua had an incredible chin (he did) it is unlikely anyone KOs him in his prime. Especially in the early rounds.

 

His jab was as good as anyone's, you have to be talking Larry Holmes or ??? to better it, it stacks up well with anyone's, like Listons if im honest. The atomic bull can take Wilders power and dish out his own damage for the KO at some stage

 

Exactly, Tua and McCall are two fellas that can take Wilders power and do their own thing prime. Both stop him imo, Shavers had a big dig that never won him a big fight when fighting prime elites, I rate him as a heavier puncher than Wilder, every shot was heavy, Wilder just has a long strong right hand and height !

 

Something wasn't right about that fight for me, Don King involved etc and Tyson v Bruno 2 sells much better than Tyson v his old sparring partner

 

Because Bruno's jab was so good Mark, Lewis was coming off second best, its what ive been saying to you

 

Yes Foreman(comeback Foreman) had a fantastic jab, so did Bruno, NOT WILDER

 

Probably Tua. He had a granite chin. Wilder has mediocre defense and not a great chin. I can envision him trying to swarm Tua and getting cold cocked with a left hook. He would go down and be on spaghetti legs. He has heart and would try to fight on. But, Tua would finish him at some point after the knockdown.

 

He did.

That's why he could survive Wiler's "wild" early attacks and then counter. Wilder's lack of defense and chin lets him down here.

 

I really don't think he would have the discipline to use his height and sit behind the jab all night. I think the latter would happen. And that plays right into Tua's hands.
