Pound 4 Pound, does Kovalev hit harder than Deontay Wilder?

The difference is that Wilder literally swings for the fences every time he throws a punch. Kovalev actually punches properly, which unfortunately isn't the way to throw your most powerful punch. His technique actually restricts him from being as powerful a puncher as he could be, which makes his punching power even more impressive. If Kovalev went around swinging wild, his punches might be just as visually impressive as Wilders. We can't really know.

We'll see once Wilder faces somebody in the top 100 Fyp.......

Da **** is everbody talking about? Wilder hits harder than Wlad.

Both have destructive power. I'm going to say Kovalev based on him beating better competition. If wilder starts knocking out top guys (or guys with granite chins) then my opinion might change. hard to say just how hard wilder hits. hell,,,even chris byrd probably could have knocked out most of wilders opponents. wilder does seem to deliver his punches with at least good power tho. time will tell if his power is on kovalevs level p4p when he steps up to more durable guys

As some other people have said... Kovalev is a monster. I think Wilder's power is overrated at the moment as he hasn't really fought anyone worth bothering about.

thing is wilder knows only a single punch - right hand and that's it. kovalev hits with much more variety. also he looks much more composed and relaxed when he throws his punches while wilder looks like windmill. throwing hard with a single punch means little when you face remotly skilled and mobile fighter. wilder would get beaten badly by fury. i would favor even price to beat him. no comparison between him and kovalev. kovalev is levels above.

It would be embarrassing for Wilder. Poor guy would try so hard to windmill Wlad and probably never come close. If his chin is china, he might even get knocked out quick. Wladimir would jab his head off. Next. That hay maker crap doesn't work on Wlad. Not on this version of Wlad.

A lesson, none the less. :rofl: It would be embarrassing for Wilder. Poor guy would try so hard to windmill Wlad and probably never come close. If his chin is china, he might even get knocked out quick.

A lesson on love through hugging. A lesson, none the less. :rofl:

When Wilder knocks out anyone that matters at heavyweight near as good as the guys Kovalev has knocked out, I'll consider this seriously. I completely agree with this. You can't compare Kovalev, a world champion with Wilder, the bum buster.

Wladimir will teach Wilder a lesson. And I hate Wladimir. A lesson on love through hugging.

Look at their Records. Wilder-30 (KO 30) Kovalev-23 (KO 21) No man gets a decision in a Wilder fight. But Kovalev also has faced better competition so it is not 100% solid proof yet. Either way they are both monsters
