Deontay Wilder vs 1988 Mike Tyson

Mike. The bigger they are. Given Wilders poor boxing skills and defense and given Tyson has a great ring IQ, he would’ve cut off the ring and decapitated Wilder by rd 3.

Probably Tyson. I say probably (or even likely) because 1998 Tyson did not fight any good competition. Larry Holmes was old and Spinks was a lightheavy at best. A year earlier, James Smith and Tony Tucker took Mike the distance. So, could Wilder could have taken Tyson the distance? Yes. Could he have landed his right a few times? tricky question.

Will Wilder be able to detonate his right hand on 1988 Mike Tyson? Or will Tyson get close and maul him with fast combos? Who would win in a fight? - -Uncle Al don't allow Deyonce to fight credible heavies. He the WBC TBA champ only fought the diminished mentallyill Fury as a supposed soft touch and got torched.

80s 90s boxers have actual skills. Tyson has power but he had skills to be effective at 5'11" fighting much taller guys. Not sure if prime Wilder can adapt to the bob and weave of a prime tyson. Wilder is easily outbox by lesser boxers.

50/50 but I’d lean towards Tyson because I just don’t see wilder landing his straight right, to beat a shorter crouching pressure fighter who had very good head movement like Tyson you have to have a good uppercut james tillis tony tucker buster douglas all had good uppercut Holyfield Lewis too had great uppercut wilder’s only great punch is his straight right his other punches are so so.

Mike has wayyyyyy too much head movement for wilder. Tyson’s head movement soooooo overrated. The only highlights u see are in the gym or against bums usually when punches weren’t even coming. Same as the myth of his jab or foot work. It’s not like Mike could keep any of this up for more than a round or two. He became a flat footed one two puncher. Tyson could move his head but it’s not the same as being slick or dodging punches. He could do it as an exercise but it never translated to him being slick at the top level.

I wish they made a poll for 50/50 lol cause you really can't pick one over the other

Ooow that's a tough one.80s Mike was no joke.but if deontay can get that right hand in its good night.i say 50/50

Are we saying this now because Mike Tyson and Dominic Breazeale were so similar?

Wilder is a badass

Do you think Tyson would need 9 rounds to KO Molina or 12 rounds to beat Stiverne? Speaking of Molina, the people who are saying AJ ko'd Breazeale in 7 and Wilder ko'd him in 1 should also be saying Wilder ko'd Molina in 9 and AJ ko'd Molina in 3. Lol

Do you think Tyson would need 9 rounds to KO Molina or 12 rounds to beat Stiverne? Don't care. Styles make fights and no version of Tyson beats Wilder

Tyson had serious head movement and would make Wilder miss all the big shots and would rip to the head and body and end it fast.

Tyson has no chance against Wilder. Too small and not good enough defensively Wilder by Vicious KODo you think Tyson would need 9 rounds to KO Molina or 12 rounds to beat Stiverne?

I think Tyson would win. Tyson also had one clean punch fight ending power in both hands and better skills.

Tyson has no chance against Wilder. Too small and not good enough defensively Wilder by Vicious KO

Mike has wayyyyyy too much head movement for wilder.

Lmao. I love how before Wilder KOed Breazeale, everyone shat on Wilder. I’ve been hearing a lot of praise him lately.Wilder should get praise. It was his best performance ever. Breazeale wasn't a washed up Stiverne. He went 7 rounds with AJ.

Tyson easy. Mike would bob and weave and **** Wilder up on the inside with those body shot/uppercut combos.

Wilder via vicious knockout
