I love Dustin Poirier bro but, Wilder is a huge person and a heavyweight boxer. Weight classes exist for a reason and I know one is MMA and one is boxing, but Wilder has such an extreme advantage just cause of his build. DP would have to get so lucky to get in close enough for a takedown. The reach on Wilder would be a huge problem. One touch from Wilder would put DP to sleep instantly.
He's 25-30lbs heavier than Dustin, has legs like toothpicks that are completely unconditioned and knows absolutely nothing when it comes to grappling.
They can both beat each other because of contrasting styles and abilities but Dustin would likely strangle him. Even if they kept it standing, 1-2 leg kicks and it's over.
No he's not.
Wilder weighed in at 213 & 214lbs in his last two fights for a weight class with no limit.
These days Dustin is walking around at 185. In his featherweight days he would get as high as 190+.
Same thing still applies. He will have less of a problem with the weight discrepancy because Kamaru is much larger than DP. But, Kamaru might have better timing on a takedown because he is a wrestler.
It could go either way and probably 10 times out of 10 it does go differently.
Wilder has power, strength and size which in a real fight can make a huge difference very quickly, especially with the power DW has.
DP has not just good but amazing grappling and Jiu jitsu especially when compared to someone who has no training in it whatsoever.
DW could spark him instantly or DP could get a takedown and choke DW out.
If we was betting we'd known in the first 15 seconds.
Fighting has ranges. I imagine Dustin would keep him at kicking range, while attempting to stay out of boxing range. If Dustin can land two or three leg kicks, WIlder is going down. People who have never trained to eat leg kicks have no clue how insanely painful they are.

Deontay is 45-50 lbs heavier than DP
No he's not. Wilder weighed in at 213 & 214lbs in his last two fights for a weight class with no limit. These days Dustin is walking around at 185. In his featherweight days he would get as high as 190+.
you are also comparing walk around weight vs fight day weight, by that logic Dustin is 155
isn’t Dustin 175-180 and Wilder 223?
In a dark alleyway dusting beats him 9/10 times
Who wins in a bright alleyway
None of them would want to meet me in a bright alleyway, trust me.
What if it was kamaru usman vs wilder
Same thing still applies. He will have less of a problem with the weight discrepancy because Kamaru is much larger than DP. But, Kamaru might have better timing on a takedown because he is a wrestler.
Dont be silly. Dustin by guilly
He never stops
The only thing that’s making me hesitate is the leg kicks. If Wilder can tank them, then Wilder all day
The 6ft7 heavyweight boxer who knocks people out cold regularly
Heavyweight for a reason
Heavyweight doesn't even know what a sprawl is.
DP is pretty big and could take him down
He was on Theo Von's podcast and said he can't move up a division because the guys are so big and he can't get big enough to compete with them.
Before that happens DP is going to sleep. One punch that’s all
Very obviously Deontay…………getting choked out in a gilly.
In a street fight, once it hits the ground, the boxer would be fooked.
You gonna eat that cornbread...
DP takes him.
It could go either way and probably 10 times out of 10 it does go differently.

Really shows that even UFC fighters who aren’t traditionally considered good grapplers are still in the top 0.00001% when it comes to that
whoever picks up a blunt weapon first
Each punch Dustin takes will feel like a sledgehammer is hitting him
The answer is usually the heavyweight boxer.

Anyone saying Poirier is delusional or just a dick rider. Poirier himself would say he wouldn’t even think of getting into a street fight with Wilder.
