Wilder could NOT beat Iron Mike Tyson!

[Primo Carnera]

What people have to realize is that Tyson is a complete one off in the sense that nobody can quite turn a size disadvantage into an advantage like he did. He was actually at his best against Really big guys . They couldn't punch properly or with full power as they were punching down, and he would bob inside and with his short leverage and timing blast them with uppercuts and body shots.
Being so big would not help Wilder one bit , especially with his relative lack of boxing skills.

Mike Tyson wasn't really that great an inside fighter & was quite content to be clinch & hold on the inside when he couldn't put his opponent away, ala the Boneclutcher Smith fight.

6' 5" Riddick Bowe was a much better inside fighter than Tyson ever was.

I do agree that Tyson would have beaten Wilder though.

His head movement was awesome under Rooney & Wilder does not have the fundamentals to do anything about that.

Tyson would have made Wilder miss & tagged him with fast, sharp & powerful hooks & put Wilder away inside 6.
