    The Tyson who stopped Ruddock vs Wilder. Wilder's right hand is as every bit a dangerous weapon as Ruddock's left smash.

    Tyson KO, Ruddock was slow but seems to have better whiskers

    Tyson is also taylor made for Wilder

    96 Tyson wastes Wilder, let alone 91

    No one in history beats Wilder as long as Al Haymon still has him sacrificing babies.

    Wilder’s doesn’t protect his body enough to
    beat Tyson from 1991. As soon as Tyson sees those openings he’d murder Wilder’s body.

    Tyson by murder.

    Big, one punch power hitters stood no chance against Mike. Absolutely no chance whatsoever.

    I remember Tyson talking about Bruno and in the lead up to their first fight Bruno was knocking people over for fun but Mike said he knew 100% that power punch wouldn't have any role to play against him

    Tyson all the way. Having only one attribute isn't going to cut it against Mike.

    So peak Foreman against Wilder is a missmatch in favor to Wilder, but Deontay wouldn't beat past his best Tyson?

    Not to mention that people said before that there is no way that short fighter can beat Wilder.

    Whoever thinks Wilder would beat a prime Foreman sniffs glue.

    Would George and Mike would annihilate Wilder.

    :confundio1::confundio1::confundio1:

    Wut?

    No. Prime Foreman will devastate Wilder imo.

    I might even take Old Foreman over Wilder since Wilder struggles with a guy who has a chin and can jab.

    Tyson had slowed down and was easier to hit by 91 .Wilder has a decent chance of landing his power punches as mike moves in .How Tyson reacts to that power would be interesting .I imagine the fight might be similar to the Rabelta fight with Tyson stopping Wilder late.Wilders power is the unknown factor in this fight.good fight

    I wouldn't worry about Mike handling Wilder's power.

    I'd worry about the guy who was rocked by Eric Molina handling Mike's power.

    Wilder has no real boxing skills to keep Mike from getting close.
    All Mike has to do is get bast one right hand before being in range to knockwilder out.

    Holyfield Douglas and Lewis were truly great boxers who beat Tyson with masterful boxing. Wilder has none of the things that allowed those guys to win.

    Also wilder is surprisingly useless once you get past his "optimum range" because his punch variety is crap in mid and close quarters his defense is no good either because he just steps or pulls back his head(which has worked okayish against the fat plodders of today), not going to work with mike's footspeed

    Wilder dumps in his shorts and then gets Knocked out, he would be so scared stepping into that ring he would not be able to fight properly.
