    He's a different ethnicity from Wlad (since he was mentioned as a comparison). People of different race are naturally built different and it reflects in the ring. Black people are usually taller and skinnier, longer. Mexicans are typically shorter. Same reason some ethnicities can withstand punches better than others (although it's not 100%). So, typically, a black boxer will have skinnier legs than a Mexican. Some guys can withstand punches better because of their neck.

    Then you have Timothy Bradley, he's black but he's short and stocky. He can withstand punishment better because of this.

    Don't black people have more fast-twitch fibers?

    It all depends on genetics.

    Wilder and Bradley have different genes.

    This. Whoever tried to give a genetic ****ysis of the human race needs to go back to elementary school. Saying black people are tall and skinny is ****ing moronic. People vary from region to region, and even in very specific ethnic groups there is a massive variation of genetic trailts. And discounting the fact that black people originate from places other than Africa, do you really think someone who descends from Northwest Africa has the same genetics as someone who has descended from southeast Africans? Do Italians and Swedes look alike to you? They're both European.

    He clearly doesn't do much if any strength work with his legs. His upper body mass has increased over the years but his legs have remained skinny. I doubt he could do more than 1.5 times his body weight, probably not even that.

    Wlad himself has pretty skinny legs but compared to Wilder he has thunder thighs.

    Again, I don't see why it matters, because this is boxing, not a weightlifting competition.

    Probably between his body weight to 280 lbs . Wrong build for squatting, right build for leverage on punches. You can never ever tell by looking at someone though. Lifting strength is deceptive because some people gain strength and efficiency without gaining size. Rahman can squat a house.

    If Wilder beats Stiverne, there HAS to be a Wilder-Fury fight.

    Huh?

    I didn't say all black people have the same build.
