    I mean, hes already better at demolishing D and C level fighters with devastating power punches. Bow if he can do that to B and A level fighters too we can have that conversation. Outside of height, power, and athleticism there are arent any advantages he has over previous champs. His resume makes Fury look like an ATG.

    By "athleticism" you mean falling all over his own feet like a newborn deer because he can't keep his balance after throwing his ridiculous malcoordinated haymakers, right?

    He knows how to make people laugh. Outside the ring as well as inside.

    Wilder is the lomgest running punchline I'm boxing.

    Nichols is still "hungry" for that rematch

    If Wilder can hone his skills he'd be great. He's got the build and physicality, but I can box better.

    That highlights a lack of technique and training, not athleticism. There are plenty of highly athletic in shape people who throw ugly punches because they never took a martial art.

    What it highlights to me is a severe lack of mind body coordination and an inability to acquire new motor engrams.

    That's true, but I should hope that Wilder, a pro boxer for nearly a decade, has been taught how to throw a punch by now.

    In this age of microchips, titanium and convenience such as google, some want all the answers given to them. I'm old school so I try to figure it out before I ask. I like to use my brain :) and encourage others to do the same no offence intended.
