Why does Wilder continue to get so much flak?

[Spicoli]

I don't hate the guy. But I do think he's a bit manufactured and gets by on the cheap. Basically his first 27'ish fights were against stunt men and dishwashers and in more than a few cases Lt heavyweights a couple ex middleweights and a few off massive layoffs..talking 4 to 8 years. Go dig through his early record and watch them. Not exactly a picture of "the biggest puncher in boxing history" as he's spouting off about today. The idea that the right hand is all he needs is exactly what's wrong with so many young fighters, and it's not all he needs as evident in the Fury loss I mean 'draw' . And I can't buy this he's still learning thing. Sure you can always add some polish but the man is what 35? He is what he is and as much as his eraser right hand carries forward so do the flaws which are a glaring part of his package now. By manufactured a bit I mean that with the exception of Ortiz 1..they've all resulted near exactly as expected going in. His last two years has been facing 3 late replacements in title fights..2 of which were nothing more than to repackage the whole huuuuuge puncher like Tyson talk, glacially slow Breazeale and a third trimester Stiverene who had zero intention of showing up for a fight. The Ortiz rematch was ok and fair play to Wilder but in large part meaningless and predictable. Not to mention Ortiz even getting another opportunity after juicing up twice. And again he was being shut out. Then there was Fury, who like others actually got up off that right hand and had in large part boxed Wilders ears. He goes on about devastating a Szpilka or a Liakhovich and talks about thinking he killed them. Truth is they were both bombed out prior and bombed out after by others. Now I know this sounds like a pure slag on a man who has done nothing but win, save for one, and that's all you can ask of a guy. For that Wilder should be respected and does bring an air of 'personality' and excitement. Well done for him. But in an odd way it almost feels boring imo. Then again I've always thought the heavyweights a bit overrated and have never liked the tunnel vision focus of raking up ko numbers which can be stacked up like legos. It's not a hate. For all the bluster he seems a decent enough cat. I just don't think he comes remotely close to accomplishing or applying skill and competing on the levels of so many of those earlier heavies.
