    Because at 32 he is not physically the same person as he was at 25.

    I don't think anybody thinks Wilder is anything other than what he is, a one trick pony but that's enough to get you far in the heavyweight division.

    I don't necessarily think he gets overrated I think the entire division gets very overrated. People mistake hype for talent. This division is still full of slow limited plodders.

    Exactly. I don’t think for one minute that Wilder is this brilliant heavyweight, but he is very unique. He’s an athlete (that fell upon boxing) primed for throwing huge single shots. He’s not textbook, he’s instinctive and most heavyweights don’t have the footwork or ring IQ to take the sting out of that right hand. Is there another heavyweight you could bring into sparring that can replicate that awkward, unorthodox style coupled with speed and power?

    Exactly very tough to replicate. Hence why Fury bought in Okolie simply for the length and ungainliness.
