    He was KOed by lesser puncher before and after Wilder fights and he lasted the distance for the first time.

    Demetrice King was an excellent puncher Stiverne was washed up when Joyce got to him.

    Yes, BUT those guys could fight. Wilder seldom faces skilled guys. He was also dropped on the way up by no name .

    One thing is clear, Carnera fought much better competition.

    I don’t think we’ll Know who took the better shot. Wilder isn’t interested in fighting top boxers in their prime. Yes he rolled the diced vs a comeback Fury and was badly outboxed.

    I also think heavier gloves would help Carnera.

    Interesting how one fight has so completely changed the Wilder narrative on these forum topics!!
