Can someone explain to me how a guy like Wilder hasn't lost yet?

A -As a whole,this crop of current heavyweights is largely the most unskilled bunch I have ever seen in any era and I have been watching since 70's. Back then Wilder would not have had much of a chance against the likes of skilled fighters like Ali,Holmes, Foreman,Tyson,Lewis,Holyfield,etc etc etc
B- Power.

If Ortiz was 33 years old I think the outcome would have been different.

Hes just big and has a killer right hand. Also his opposition before the Ortiz fight was weak. If not for his stamina and right hand he would have lost yesterday. Wilder is pretty fun to watch because everyone knows hes not the best fighter technically but he just keeps winning because of that power.
