Damiani was pretty bad but when you dig into Wilders early 24,25 fights its embarrassing compared to at least a couple decent types Daminain had beat at same point.

The Italian pastry was schooling Ray Mercer before an uppercut shattered his nose and even after that he was the original replacement vs Holyfield when Tyson pulled out. Fortunately he 'hurt his ankle' and we got Bert Coopers power instead
