    To WIlder's credit he wanted Thompson after Price got ko'd. Thompson took the rematch instead.

    So don't hate on him for fighting Audley Harrison.

    Also, I think the poor punching technique is being blown way out of proportion. He showed great technique and thought of that 1-2 that put Harrison out. It shows he is thinking in the ring and that is good.

    He got excited and swung for the fences. It's nothing for everyone to get a boner over. I will also agree with someone else. It's completely an assumption that his chin is bad.. Nothing at all proves that.

      Grant's punching speed and reflexes are nowhere near Deontay's, but they are both very raw and their defense is pretty bad.


      Deontay is naturally a skinny guy, must be genetics, most college basketball/NBA players that are his height are on average around 220-230lbs and they rarely lift weights, nor do they try to put on weight like Wilder.

        It was Golota who exposed Grant, but then his bipolar kicked in again and he found a way to lose
