Aren't there more heavyweights that have the same physiques and the same crushing power? Isit freak genetics or a wanting to kill in there mindset making him throw with evil intent?
Wilder power comes from hitting 40 year old men when they are gasping for air.
And thats his best win, with Deontay fast approaching age of 34. An utter joke of a champion, I cant wait till hes retired.
CORE STRENGTH...

Nothing to do with "Squats" Core is in the Torso/Mid Section and NO having a 6 Pack doesn't mean a "STRONG CORE" either
As for Hitman, again STRONG CORE, Broad and Long Torso,

Again this is going back to the Theory of "Punchers Are Born Not Made" because if those Exercises helped build up Power then more guys would be developing Big Power like Hitman and Wilder... :dunno:
Then you have monsters who look like ice cream truck drivers like Ruben Olivares.

Carlos Zarate looked like a prison camp detainee.
If they are born punchers, I still think it's because of their muscle composition in the shoulder area .
His forearm is strong. I noticed a lot of boxers with KO power have really good and developed forearms. Also, his will to KO people helps as well. Physical and mental harmony is what helps him.
I don't know about core strength.
Tommy Hearns probably couldn't squat jack but he was a freaking monster.
Chris Algieri would out squat Pac by a hundred pounds or more but he sure does not come close to Pac's power.
Reflexes, fast twitch muscles and training are the reasons imo. Throwing heavy heavy stones and hitting really heavy bags would help imo.
Elevated and clap pushups too.

Manny Steward use to slam a big Medicine Ball into Hitman Midsection.
Also Splinting Wood builds up the Core Strength, which was a old school boxing work out. Now instead the use the Big Tire with the Sledge Hammer.

Btw, if you are ever around pro boxers and watch them shadow box really hard, you can actually hear their shoulder muscles contract.
The harder punchers have stronger shoulders imo.
I tend to agree with Teddy Atlas Philosophy as far as "Punchers Are Born NOT MADE"
You don't "BECOME A PUNCHER" at least not Naturally...hell even with PED's you don't all of a sudden develop one punch KO Power. However, you can teach a Punch more Technique and Boxing Skills!
Wilder just have to LISTEN to Mark Breeland and be patient with his damn Jab and go to the body more. He loves knockouts so much that when he see his opponent is hurt he gets very WILD. Did it vs Breazeale and he got caught by Breazeale which buzzed him a bit. What he did which was improvement is that he stepped back and reset...then the knockout came easy after that. He also set up the big KO by at least Shooting The Jab in which Breazeale thought he was countering that Jab with his Left Hand, he did not expect Wilder to shoot that Right Hand so fast like that and them...BOOM!

Not a fan of his Technique at all...However that Right Hand is NO JOKE like him or not you cannot take that from him despite trolls posting their ignorance with "He Doesn't Hit That Hard..."
Also CORE STRENGTH is something that doesn't get talked about often in boxing but Wilder, while he has Skinny Legs he has a Long, Broad and Powerfully Built Torso. Power comes for Core Strength too...

A punch is only as hard as the speed of the punch and the weight behind it. Wilder has lots of weight in his upper body and turns that weight into his very fast punches. Hand speed and proper punching form is where his power comes from. His straight right is lightning fast and he turns his big shoulders into it.

Craziest thing is in the GIF of him laying out Brezeale his feet aren’t even planted or sitting down on the shot, his foot is still sort of in a glide when the punch connects.
I agree but how many times have we seen a guy hurt and land a counter. Im just saying when he goes HAM hes open for a counter.
I don't disagree with that.
He's not knocking fighters out with windmills. That's the point. He get's wild after he gets a fighter hurt but the windmills are not the knockout punches no matter how you want to look at it. The punches that knocked out Breazeale and dropped Fury were straight punches.

Listen Im a fan. But lets not pretend he throws straight shots.

Are you seriously going to say this was a windmill punch that knocked out Breazeale?
He is fast, athletic and commits fully to his punches, which leads him to be off Ballance and open, if his opponents are skilled enough to take advantage.
He has long limbs, weighs in around 16-17stone, puts a lot of his weights into the punch.
Dude he throws windmills! He throws caution to the wind and just starts hucking shots. There will be a day he gets caught.
He didn't drop Fury, Ortiz, or Breazeale with windmills. That's just stupid.
I love reading stuff like this. Its very possible that his belief in his own power manifests a stronger punch.....deep stuff to think about
Both Wilder & Fury are quite supernatural when it comes to their mindsets 'They are not straight up logical', when they both had their face off? Fury kept on stating, I thought you where like me I.E Because Wilder is a son of a baptist, and Fury comes from a heavy religious background.
But if you watch interviews with Wilder, he literally idolizes his own punching power, I have never seen such confidence in ones punching power since David Haye in recent times 'When he somehow he came back out of retirement, all Haye used to speak about was his power & speed'.
Joshua for me is a very grounded individual, that is why he is unmoved by his defeat to Andy Ruiz 'If Fury was beaten by Ruiz, he would probably retire'. Due to Wilder's & Fury's personalities, I sense if these guys are beaten 'It will hit them harder, well we have already seen that' but if somebody like Wilder keeps gaining momentum, it is as if it just feeds into his power.
I have seen nobody shake Deontay Wilder's mindset, when it comes to his punching power. 'At some stage in a punchers career, they meet somebody who they cannot hurt or take out' This has not happened too Wilder as of yet.
But I still think Anthony Joshua will end up beating them all.
Note: Mike Tyson was my favorite heavyweight puncher, enjoyed his technique and variety.
Deontay Wilder's left jab followed by his right cross is the best one-two combination punch in boxing. In addition, his tall, long and wiry build gives "The Bronze Bomber" great and extra leverage on his straight punches; Especially the right hand.
Had Wilder been shorter and had a stockier build, then he would have been known more for his left hooks, uppercuts and body punching; Similarly to that of a prime Mike Tyson.
However, guys with Deontay Wilder's build are historically known for their punching power; Like Sandy Saddler at 126, Alexis Arguello at 130, Felix Trinidad at 147-154 and Thomas Hearns at 147-160. Just like Wilder all of them were very thin and tall for their particular weight division.
