When AJ lost he was so quick to say. "I have always felt that Wilder KOs AJ easily." While spending the entire 3 year upto that ooint swearing Wilder has no shot against AJ.
Wilder flat out refused an offer of $5m for a lesser version of Whyte...and he demanded $8m instead. However he got paid $2m for Ortiz later. Make of that what you will.
Later after dazn money came in, Wilder was offered $8m, he rejected it and took $5m for Fury.
Both times he told everyone that Whyte was a peasant (and yet Whyte was bringing money to the table for Wilder, more than he'd ever earnt at that stage).
Telling everyone, repeating over and over again that Ortiz/Tyson Fury were the second best HW in the world.
The punch that did the job was a specific uppercut set up by attacking Whyte's left side first followed by the uppercut to his right side. Povetkin said he trained for that specific punch.
personally i don't doubt Wilder's power would do far more damage to Whyte, but he wouldn't be setting up/throwing the punch that got Whyte.
What about if whyte had dropped Wilder first like he did povetkin?
Personally I just think it would be a case of whoever lands first.
