Wilder has always avoided decent prime heavyweights like Dillian Whyte. He prefers to fight slow, overweight old men in poor physical condition who have health problems like Luis Ortiz, chinny limited journeymen like Artur Szpilka, old fat former middleweights and light heavyweights like Dan Sheehan and Damon McCreary (who he faced in his 25th pro fight), or shot boxers were were KOed in their past fights like Cristobal Arreola and Sergey Lyakhovich.
