In the fantasy matchup, Deontay Wilder has little chance of defeating boxing superstar Mike Tyson. Among the best heavyweight knockout performers of their corresponding decades are both Wilder and Tyson. With the exception of one, Wilder has won all 43 of his professional fights by knockout. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ has stopped fighters like Luis Ortiz and Robert Helenius over his career. 

Tyson’s career

With 50 victories under his belt towards the conclusion of his career, 44 of those victories were by knockout. The previous undisputed champion defeated fighters like Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, and Frank Bruno to successfully defend his titles after winning his first world title at the age of 20. 

Former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew has backed Tyson, saying: “You’ve never seen an animal like Mike Tyson, before or after in the heavyweight division!” Tyson has been predicted to defeat Wilder in their prime. The dream match was discussed by fans as well, many of whom predicted Tyson’s victory.

Because of this, some say that Wilder is a contender for the title of hardest hitter ever and is worthy of it in Malik Scott’s eyes, even though he may not be the most skilled heavyweight of all time.
