While Wilder's skills are far from great,they're good enough to beat practically any HW. This is one of the least skilled divisions in all of boxing.
We're talking about a division that has been ruled for over a decade by a fighter, Wlad, with absolutely 0 inside fighting ability which we saw on full display against Fury, how many body shots, 3 that whole fight? Talk about lack of skills.
And styles do make fights, the southpaw stance really threw Wilder off, as did the pace at which Szpilka was fighting/moving at. There was no way he was going to keep that up for 12 full rounds and he didn't, the longer the fight went on the easier he was to hit until the massive KO. If you don't pace yourself properly, you'll be vulnerable in the later rounds especially against big punchers, we've seen this time and time again.
