Unfortunately we don’t have guys like that in the division. That is Wilder’s kryptonite. Someone who has boxing ability that has a good chin and heart. Fortunately for Wilder, he hasn’t run into that yet (other than arguably Fury).
Imagine a prime Ray Mercer or Oliver McCall, they beat Wilder 10 out of 10. David Tua smokes him. Vitali murders him. There's literally a dozen solid heavyweights of the past 20 years who would beat him.

He's been "gifted" with one special attribute and been expertly "guided" to this position.
That’s funny because Mercer and McCall were the two main fighters I was thinking of too. Mainly because I understand that he isn’t near a top 10 HW of all time so it’s a joke to compare him with an elite fighter.

It just seems crazy that he hasn’t fought one fighter that has a granite chin or someone who is a come forward fighter. I’m not saying that he would lose to any current fighters (although I’m sure that he will definitely run into someone who will spark him eventually), but he has never been tested with real pressure. His biggest tests were all against boxers.
