97 98% of people on boxing forums don't know anything about boxing. People are excitied about tyson because of how he ACTED. That's why Holyfield and Lewis were better fighters then Tyson, but Tyson always gets talked about. Because they didn't act like him.

Tyson's best win was Razor Fking Ruddock. I would favor Wilder over Tyson.

Razor Ruddock is miles better than anyone Wilder has faced. Tyson's best win was easily Spinks, even more miles better than anyone Wilder has faced.

True. Last HW who would stand a chance is Vitali because of the iron chin he had and huge size advantage like Lennox. With Wilder and Joshua both having shown susceptibility to shots from less than fearsome punchers, they would be ripe for young Iron Mike.

Prime Tyson KOs prime Wilder in a few rounds in my opinion. Wilder is too sloppy and he leaves too many openings for a quick handed accurate bomber like Tyson and Wilder has an average chin. If Molina can go 9 rounds with him and rock him several times then Tyson stops him early.

Razor Ruddock would have knocked Spinks out. Spinks was a light heavyweight dude.

Prime Tyson (86-88) is the only version to have a chance, if, and only if, he had a good gameplan. Go for the body and try reach Wilder's head later on. The size disparity plus Wilder ability to control the head of the opponent (shoulder and forearm control) give him the advantage

No boxer is in their prime when their 20...people only say that because he didn't lose to Buster Douglas. This is boxing not gymnastics.

Wladmir would jab Tyson's head off and discourage him and he'd give up.

Are you forgetting Tyson was only 19 and 20 years old here? Of course they were cherry picking his opponents. You can't compare the two. Wilder is into his 30s now, has been WBC champ for more than 3 years and still hasn't fought anyone.

if stiverne was able to land on wilder which he did in the 1st fight then tyson will and much sooner
