Time to admit Wilder doesn`t hit that hard

His power is there. He wasn't in position to land a big punch because of his bad footwork and timing. He keeps crossing his legs when circling as well. Parker just took advantage of it. Some of you all need to study boxing more. Casual bums.

Don`t fool yourselves, Wilder doesn`t have Foreman or Zhang type power. The power that goes last. Guys with heavy hands can fight even in late 40s, even though being slow. Wilder`s "power" comes from the speed of his punch. And this speed of the punch is gone now, it is nowhere. Obviously Wilder power comes from those legs. I tell you they are as thick as sink pipes. That and good match making. I have said before that his manager should have won " manager " of the year " taking a man like that and making millions fleecing the punch drunk and starving USA boxing fans.​

All this talk about being able to hit hard is nonsense if you yourself is terrified of getting hit. That's what happened in the Parker fight. Wilder focused on not getting hit himself and looked for that one opportunity to land that one big shot. Problem is, you have to hope you won't get peppered with punches yourself before it happens.

He hits hard, but it's telegraphed and they came in with an atrocious plan to just move around, no jab, no set up, just crap. On top of that, Parker used great footwork, kept his hands up, and dipped whenever he saw Wilder telegraph and movement. It's a great blueprint for future Wilder opponents. If he went for it earlier he could've landed something. His trainer is trash trying to condition some new bullshit in him when he's just a crude slugger and should stick to that. Also they either come in too heavy or too light. He's almost 40 and tall so he needs to be about 220-225lb or so, imo.

He knocked out Stiverne, Ortiz and with a different ref Fury might've been counted out too. He was also knocking out some opponents earlier than Joshua who is a big puncher himself. I think his power is legit, but it's the only thing that is. If all we had to go on was Ortiz, I’d say Wilder is one hard-hitting dude. No way you put that Cro-Magnon head on a twenty inch neck on Queer Street if you don’t punch very hard. But I don’t care how hard you hit, you’ve gotta hit your target — and solidly at that.

He's 38 and lost his explosiveness and speed to some degree, remember when Kermit Cintron used to hit hard then became a pillowfisted slapper? Same thing is happening here, he got old and he doesn't have the cagey skills to compensate. i dont think cintron knocked out anyone good which is quite analogous to wilder. they both started fighting better comp and bye bye power. tank is next if he ever steps up but he wont

Plenty of people have knocked Fury down including an MMA fighter. He made his name knocking out bums, that’s why he was able to succeed. At least 40 of his wins are complete trash. He is one of the worst HW champions in history, last night just showed him up for what he is. Charles Martin with a big right hand.

Where did you get that data? No doubt power tie to class. i actually did all the research myself. very tedious work. its probably not 100 percent accurate since i only have the year end rankings but pretty close to it.

Definitely hits hard but it's technically limited, if he were to fight a fighter with good boxing skills and a solid chin, like let's say AJ, Usyk, Fury and Parker. He likely lose.

"How can we spin this into more Fury hate?" :lol1:

He didn`t land a flush right hand, but he did land right hand and did nothing. Dropping Fury many times without doing any damage doesn`t mean you have some special power. His power means he KO`d many bums, but all guys do it, so, nothing special. Time to admit there are too many people on here with no life and need to feel attention so they make up DUMB THREADS.

Wilder looked “off” walking in the ring. His legs were unsteady in the first round. Timing was horrible . No interest in fighting in two years. These kids are business men who fight not The other way around. They have NO PASSION. AJ looked great! I was surprised.

He didn't punch. Hard to be a hard hitter if you don't even try to hit. Not sure if he's shot or what, because he looked like he was trying to be a giant version of Rigo, but without the skills. If he can't pull the trigger and step to guys anymore, he's done.

I think he hits hard, he just never caught Parker flush at all. Parker had a really good strategy of smothering him. Attacking and smothering, rinse and repeat. Worked like a charm every round. And in the last round, when Wilder decided to fight, Parker just smothered him for 3 minutes. He never let Wilder get off at all. Credit to Parker for that.

Hit hard or no, what perplexed me last night was how shaky Wilder's legs were, even worse than they used to be. I think Ayahuasca is not doing his brain and nerves any favor.

Wilder fought like he has become a Buddhist monk. No urgency, just going through the motions. I have always criticised Wilder throughout his Career but the way he fought even by his standards was shocking. I like Parker but I still wanted Wilder to knock him out just because. Wilder really has trouble with fighters that are willing to stand their ground. Having said that Wilder needs to jump back in the ring ASAP with a killer and get his strips back. A zhang would be perfect. Although Zhang could easily beat Wilder if he fights anything like he did yesterday
