Wilders jab has deteriorated

[Pugilist89]

I don't know how it's possible but Wilder went from having a mediocre, sometimes reasonable, and powerful shot, to a crooked, slow, and weakly tap. The last time I saw decent jab from him was Wilder-Fury 1.

My only explanation is that he spent time on other things to overcome the various challenges Fury posed for him.

I also believe that Wilder is past his prime and that may have contributed.

You can read earlier accounts from fighters dated a few years back, that Wilder had an underrated jab.


To be clear: You can throw a crooked jab, you can even throw a slow one, and a weak one. But all in one? That's not a passable shot.

I saw him have a good jab once, and that was against Bermane, who was much smaller guy. Wilder has nothing but power and even that power is overrated.

David Haye said that Wilder has one of the most impressive chins. So that too..

The thing about Wilder that amazes me, much like Ngannou, is that even their balance and coordination is poor. It's not even mediocre, it's downright poor.

Fury saying Wilders jab in their first fight almost broke his hand from blocking it. I think I know where that was. Wilder sometimes used a torque when jabbing.

and even that power is overrated.

If it's overrated, how did he manage to KO Ortiz stiff who has never been on the canvas in his life? He also hit him in the F*n temple

Where did Wilder get a jab from?

Wilder's jab is mainly to set up his straight right hand, I doubt he knows how to use it any other way.

Who did Ortiz ever fight? His best opponent pre Wilder was Jennings. No one has any idea how good his chin is.

Fury makes fighters look worse than they are.

Put Wilder in against Whyte and he'll look like a completely new man.
