Molina threw 49 punches TOTAL in a little over 9 rounds...
Arreola threw 52 punches TOTAL in a little over 8 rounds...

So in 50 rounds of boxing, Wilder has had to only defend against 15.2 punches per round, or simply 5 shots per minute, or 1 punch per 12 seconds.

There is NO FRICKN way that he will have that relaxation with Parker coming at him. This will create panic, and errors, and a KO.

Brings up the issue: why do opponents throw so few punches at Wilder?  The guys you mentioned, while not world beaters, are good solid fighters.  Parker doesn't throw a lot of punches himself, but he strings together combos, which is where I rate his chances against Wilder.

Because it's not that easy throwing against a taller fighter. Klit jabbed many into submission, but Fury was tall and sharp.
Fury's extremely boring, but very impressive jab-to-death efforts against Chisora and Hammer will be shown by history to be better than they looked.
Wilder is suspect, but has a very dangerous right, and had a pretty good jab against Stiverne when he needed it.
This is the age of the giant.
Parker will have to be special to get another belt
