    That's because vitali used his lean-back defense to stay out of reach.

    Ortiz threw faster combo`s v Wilder than Larry did v Mercer and he didn`t just lay on the ropes spoiling.

    Yeah , after watching boxing for decades pulling straight back to avoid a punch is a tried and true method,,,,,,of getting KTFO.

    Leaning back would be the worst tactic v the long straight right of Wilder, Fury made the mistake of moving back in a straight line v Wilder, got to use lateral movement to evade that 83 inch reach of his.

    So according to this Vitaly should have been KTFOed in every fight.

    Just because Yao Ming could dunk without really jumping doesn't mean that everyone else could jump without really jumping.
