    Power is always the last thing to go for any boxer...and power is Wilder's big strength, so even though he's 34 will he reign supreme for another 5 years?

    Merry Christmas Deontay. Sorry I couldn't join you and the bomb squad this year for Christmas dinner. Going over to the blobs new mansion, and having Christmas turkey with Andy Ruiz. I heard there's plenty of food there. lol

    When a HW gets older than 38 years old, a biological threshold is reached.

    The vast majority become slower at that age, suffer stamina issues and cannot pull the trigger.

    There have been so many examples of HWs becoming over the hill at around 38 years old, that it needs to be called out.

    Wilder will experience a sharp decline in his performances at around 37-38.

    No because they say Wlad hit harder than Wilder and AJ took Wlads best shot, ergo AJ can survive Deontay shot and return fire to take Wilder out.

    AJ been tested

    Wilder hasnt.

    his chin will be the first thing that goes, seeing as to how much he gets hit clean.

    Wilder's power is a result of his speed and ability to launch himself into the target, both of which abilities will already have started to decline. Once his speed and agility drops we'll see a massive drop off in his power and general effectiveness.

    Wilder's speed and timing plays a big part in his power. He won't have both for much longer.

    Brute force and strength might be the last thing to go, which worked out for Foreman, but unfortunately for Wilder speed and explosiveness are the first things to go, and his power is 100% pure speed and explosiveness. Chin and durability are also one of the otger first things to go and Wilder gets hit A LOT.

    He’s not reigning supreme now. His power is legit but his resume is very weak, a lot of people are sceptical of him and how he’s been matched. His best win is Luis Ortiz however you slice it, and he’s a very lucky boy he doesn’t have a loss on his record and still holds the WBC belt if we are being honest after the “draw” with Fury.

    Mike Tyson still had power towards the end of his career but no longer had the speed and reflexes to deliver that power. The same would probably happen to Wilder.
