Wilder would have dominated the 1920s

Unfortunately, he'd never get a Lineal Title shot in the 20's, so we'd have another Harry Wills on our hands, and would be discussing, in 2021: "What if Dempsey had defended against Wills or Wilder?"

 

Is this Seamus ?

 

There's probably an extraordinary backlog of time traveling fantasy fight opponents already stuck in the 1920s for Wilder to commiserate with.

 

I think he would too,Firpo had no defence was upright and crude with only average speed rather a later day Breazeale imo.

 

I'd bet that a bunch of the men Wilder beat would have beaten Firpo.

 

No he wouldn't lol, Dempsey sparks him and Tunney beats him by decision. Wilder is one of the biggest hypejobs ever, his right hand isn't as good as people think, most of his knockouts came in fixed fights.

 

Firpo was nobody special in the 1920s, why does it matter?

 

Ironic that Windmill's best win is against Ortiz who was born in the 1920s

 

I think it's likely some of them would have.

 

I suspect that he would have just been another Wills victim.

 

There is absolutely no one in the 20s that would beat Wilder.
