I like Wilder but he is horribly flawed. He's an American and I support him. I like the way he fights. I like punchers. I think of him as this generation's Ernie Shavers. He's a great puncher and would be in any generation but he is flawed.
I'm trying to figure out why Mike Tyson is supposedly over-rated. Is it because some feel that he's the greatest heavyweight of all time or is he over-rated because most believe him to be one of the greatest of all time? I'll concede that he isn't the greatest of all time but a prime Mike Tyson would of been a problem for anybody, ANYBODY. Mike's prime was considerably shortened by his drug abuse. It takes a lot for a short fighter to work his way in and if you're not shape, you're going to hit. If your legs aren't what they're supposed to be, you can't get under punches, you're in trouble and that's what happened to Tyson.
If some one was to tell me they didn't include Tyson as one of the top 7 Heavyweights of all time, I would be like "Ok, I can respect that". He might not even be on my list if I had to rate them but I would not bet against him with any one of them. He's even money with all of them.
A prime Mike Tyson against Wilder. Both are great punchers but the probability that Tyson gets there first is tremendous. It wouldn't make a difference if Tyson couldn't take his best, it's far more likely Tyson is going to get to him often and early. Mike started a great defensive fighter, he didn't become one dimension until his lifestyle caught up with him. Mike will get to Wilder before Wilder gets to him.
