    Idiots saying "imagine if Wilder was trained by...", what exactly do you envision? Deontay has a double-digit IQ in and out of the ring. He has learning difficulties. He wouldn't suddenly become some boxing master with a different trainer.

      --- Most dominant two heavies in history were ...

      1 Joe Louis
      2 Wlad Klitschko

      Not surprisingly they have almost identical records.

      Anything else regarding builds is just untutored fanboyism. Takes a whole lot more than physique to make a dominant heavy champ, but Joshua is off to a great start for now. I doubt he extends his career like Joe and Wlad did, but he sure is bringing back the huge stadium fights of Dempsey and rakeing in Tyson $$$$$, so there it is...

        Tyson has a neck like a bulldog and powerful build . his legs were also muscular and powerful

        Wilder has a strange build . he has skinny legs , his arms are pretty thin but his back has alot of muscle , his shoulders are like cannon balls and he has alot of muscle on his chest . I guess the back , shoulders and chest are where he generates the power on his punches

            A stick figure versus a tank. Good thread.

                  Mike Tyson was taller than 5"10, you only have to look at his face off's with Holyfield.

                  Who is 6"2 1/2.
