    Imagine a world where Cus finds Wilder as a teen instead of Mike.

      Tyson was like a little bull imo
      Rough and aggressive
      Wilder tall and powerful but too fughin lanky and with today’s hw , he will never be the bully in there

      I can only imagine Wilder being trained by the great Emmanuel Steward
      That would be the chit

        Yep, switch Cus with Steward.

          Tyson is build to absorb more punishment...you had to literally beat him to knock him down

            Naw Wilder would be best under Stewart as he would make him work that jab and fight tall...

              Exactly
              Teach him to fight tall and learn when to go for ko instead of headhunting like he did against Fury
              Emmanuel imo would make him an all time champion
              Just had that gift with boxers who he took under his wing

                Tyson is evenly proportioned. Wilder has that jail body (big upper body/small legs).

                  Tyson definitely looks like a mini tank while Deontay looks like a basketball player.
                  I suppose Deontay has the advantages cause he has height reach plus power but Tyson knew how to set people up for a Knock out and could box.
                  To answer the question I would rather have Deontays frame if they both are a blank canvas.

                    Tyson is a classic mesomorph easy to gain muscles while Deontay is a classic ectomorph lean and hard to gain weight.

                    Wilder says he struggles to put on and maintain weight regardless of the meal plans he's on.

                    Both of them put in work but are subject to the limitations of genetics.
