Or maybe its from training?!

Yeah serious weight-lifting, the effects of which being that the rare time someone fit, or not even fit but persistently aggressive, makes them fight at a pace they unravel and lose inside the distance.

Marion Wilson was one tough s.o.b.

Apparently he was never floored and only stopped once on a cut, and he'd been in with some quality fighters.

Like Chisora?

Wilson was down twice, against Jimmy Thunder and Terrence Lewis. A very hard man but awful to watch due to his mauling Ruiz style.

Thanks for helping prove my point. Vitali said Chisora was his toughest fight since Lennox Lewis. Imagine your next toughest fight being against a man carrying too much weight and who throws wide, clumsy slapping punches.

Chisora wouldn't even be in the top 20 in the 1990s, and as discussed here by others, probably wouldn't be a well regarded journeyman.

Vitali cites him as his toughest win.

Wow.

Not many decent British ones at the minute , dave ingleby uses to be good value for money and was better than his record suggested

Luke Simpkin on the UK domestic scene. But he's been retired a few yrs now.
