Here's a guy 50 lbs lighter than Wilder knocking him down half a dozen times. If Wilder had a good chin this wouldn't have happened: [MEDIA]
What do you mean poorly prepared? He had 6 months to prepare and from what we know he wasn't sick or injured.
It comes down to .. who has he beat? He's freaking 40+ years old and his best win is a borderline top 20 guy.
