I've watched wilder KO fighters with that right hand but i have to ask where does he get his HUGE power from?
Look at Wladimir Kilitschko, Punch technique is excellent, Huge Shoulders, Huge legs and Huge calf muscles. All these combined give him great power in his punches.
But when you look at Deontay Wilder, he has Huge Shoulders, but he has really skinny legs and decent punching technique for a PRO (he windmills sometimes). So how does he generate so much power in his shots? Can he do this just by using his Huge shoulders to help turn into his right hand even without having huge legs to drive into his punches. Or are Wilder's skinny legs deceiving and are actually much stronger than they look without being HUGE. Although i have noticed that even though wilder has skinny legs, his legs are lean and move pretty fast as he is punching. Is this Why?
Most big punchers had Huge Legs/ Huge Calves and Huge Shoulders e.g. Pacquiao, Golovkin, Stevenson, Mathysee, Tyson, Foreman, the Russian guy (forgot his name) who KO'ed Cleverly didnt have HUGE legs but you could see his legs were really solid almost like tree trunks.
come on....yeah the opposition isn't the best but 30/30, 100%? That's not luck and not being a good boxer or having the best record doesn't automatically mean you can't take a punch.

most of those guys arent very big punchers tho besides haye and david price also wacked audley out in the first round so he may have been on the decline since the haye fight.. anyway,,,I really like wilders power but not sure its the hardest in the division just yet. time will tell
I don't know who the hardest puncher is at heavyweight to be quite honest with you. Wilder, you cannot judge him because he's fought awful opposition. I want to see him hit a real opponent and see what happens. Unfortunately, outside of the top two there's nobody I consider to be all that great. But just to see Wilder fight someone ranked in the top ten would give us more of an indication of how good (or not good, as I suspect) he truly is.
But yes, like many have said, Wladimir Klitschko would seem to be one of the hardest punchers in the division right now.
I agree. hard to gauge just how hard wilder hits becuz his opponents have been so brittle. wlad has knocked out alot of top contenders so you really have to give it to him at this point. wilder may change that tho in the future if he can ice some quality guys. I think wilders power is legit but to what extent remains to be seen

/He just chooses to hug them instead of KO them lately
Funny, when Ward hugs his opponent into submission, it's called master boxing but when Wlad does it and actually drops his opponent several times, it's just plain boring huh?
match wald/vitali against his record and they both go 30-0 30 kos. Man even arreloa would prob go 30-0 30 kos.
Deontay will get KO'd if he fights arreloa in my opinion.
It has to do with Bone Density, those guys you listed who have huge legs and builds also have DENSE bones, wide wrists.
The skinny guys like Wilder and Hearns also have heavy bones or dense bones they just don't have much meat on their legs. Another example of someone with heavy bones is Erik Morales dude was skinny as hell but he had wide wrists and a larger frame just not much meat on his bones, and he hit hard if he had speed he would be KO'ng guys with ease but according to Pacquiao, Morales was one of the hardest punchers he ever fought.
The guys who have lighter bones but are muscular don't hit hard, example timothy bradley he is built like a roided up pit bull yet he can't bust a grape. this is because he doesn't have dense bones. Look at zou shiming dude probably has frail bones he can't bust a grape either.
Timothy Bradley is a bad example, he has a huge upper body but has really thin legs. Also, about wrist size and bone density, that might be a factor but i cannot say as i am no expert.
dense bones :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: fail post of the week
Why? is it a fail? you never heard of bone density?
if you have lighter bones you are not going to hit hard. you never met a guy with those big fist and wrists before so you think everyone has the same size bones and weight? Kelly Pavlik has big wrists too.
