Agreed, I wouldn't say it's a weak chin but the idea he has a granite chin is a myth, he's been rocked on his heels by fighters like Molina and Breazeale. He's also got very poor defence at close quarters, so those with power and a good inside game will stand a good chance(Ruiz Jr IMO would be a nightmare for him). Whyte stands a good chance beat him, the left hook and the bodyshots would probably get the job done. Get in mid to close range and stay there, Wilder needs space to throw that right hand and it's the only punch he has. Wilder is perfect for AJ, who stops him within 3 rounds for me(far better boxer, far better ring IQ).I think he could beat Wilder.
I think a lot of the top 10 fighters will have been licking their lips watching Wilder unravel, once he was backed up. It's good to see that finally more people have woken up and taken a closer look at Wilder's resume(hyped, protected PBC fighter). The fact that was he was allowed to pick his mandatories for so long, shows what's wrong with the WBC these days. As I've said before, there needs to be an overruling authority to keep these belt associations in line.
