Wilder's chin is suspect as he has never really fought anyone who can/could be regarded as a hard hitter.

Ortiz was way past his prime, and yet the old man's punches hurt Wilder. Since Wilder does not throw much, Joshua will definitely punish him a lot. We will know how strong he is when he meets a hard hitter like Joshua on Joshua's good day.

The last thing an aging fighter loses is his punching power. Speed, stamina, reflexes, etc., would go but not punch power. Check out George Foreman becoming heavyweight champion in his 40s. He did that on raw one punch knockout power. And an iron chin. That's what Wilder has been living on for the past 40+ fights. Eating punches over several rounds and throwing haymakers in search of that knockout. He has a granite chin and he has world class stamina.

Ortiz is not Foreman. And Foreman was an exception. What other 40+ heavyweights can you mention?

Vladmir Klitschko. There are few boxers over 40. It's not a kind sport. But check aging fighters on the decline. Power is the last thing that goes out. Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis come to mind.

Ortiz did stretch Wilder in their first fight. Almost knocked him down in the 7th round or so. Check out his highlights. The man can box and he has power.

The powers of boxers decline with age. That is a fact. And it is for all sports. The reflexes of a 40-year old goalkeeper cannot be compared to the reflexes of the same goalkeeper when he was in his teens or twenties.

However, experience increases with age (from number of fights).

Moreover, none of Lewis and/or Tyson fought into their forties. So, Foreman is an exception.

And it appears like Ortiz is even over 40. He is an old man.

Wait till Wilder gets hit by Anthony Joshua before you all praise his chin.

I managed to pen down a few points here. Check it out.

The real fights come next year Fury Vs Wilder followed by a unification bout.
Wilder has a weak point in stamina and if an opponent can stand his right jab like Fury did last time, we may just see an overthrow. Till date though, I doubt Joshua can beat any of the 2 aforementioned men.

Oga laivwire....sheelay here
