Wilder and Sergio Martinez both transitioned into boxing after age 20, and though they had success, eventually things caught up with them in their biggest fights.
By contrast, Mayweather and Fury were boxing since they were little kids. You can tell how fluid they are.
Ali and Mike Tyson both started boxing at age 12 and went through puberty while boxing. Tyson was learning from Bobby Stewart before he met Cus. By age 18 they were ready to destroy anyone in the world.
The Klitschkos also started in their early teens.
If Wilder was born into a boxing family and started boxing at age 8, would he be a very different fighter today?
