Is Wilder proving that size, athleticism, and power outweigh skill?

It definitely takes a certain level of skill to be able to plant that right hand like he does...

[BoxingTech718]

No not every bigger guy has a missile of a right hand.
No other HW right now has that type of power.

[Sheldon312]

No not every bigger guy has a middle of a right hand.
No other HW right now has that type of power.

I don't think a guy like Tyson or Foreman would beat him. Wilder would be too fast and athletic for them

Depends, he has a good reach advantage over most HW, he has been a pro now for about 10 years, yeah all of those things help. It also helps to get your opponents at the right time for you, as opposed to the right time for them.

[Cutthroat]

I'd say there is skill in athleticism, he's not a bad defensive fighter by any means, his balance is bad but really that's it. Overall he's very skilled, he wouldn't have gotten to this point without it.

Mmm are you talking about Spence jr?

[Sidney Powell]

Sort of. Take John Molina Jr then make him taller and faster and there you go. A guy that can bang, move quickly, keep going when he's hurt, and has the reach advantage isn't always gonna win but it can definitely buy you out of fights that seem like a lost cause.

a guy can ''skillfully'' focus in on what he does best and get the job done. wilder knows he has flaws but.....
