Right hand that dropped AJ in round 1

[2fast2strong]

People still overating wilder and his mythical power. Dubois has shown to be a much bigger puncher than wilder with 2 kos over top 5 guys. Wilder kod 1 top 10 guy his entire career. If you look at ko percentage Dubois has a 50% ratio to Wilders 25% against top 10 opponents. Dubois also kod Miller who probably would be in tge top 10 if he didn't get robbed against ruiz. I dont see any hidden gems on Wilders resume just guys like spilzka, Washington, duhapas etc

All Wilder was in his prime was twitchy reflexes, killer instinct and unbelievable one punch power

And that is undeniable

DDD has excellent power but not the one punch power that has fighters twitching on the canvas

Miller said that DDD has good power but he has been hit way harder

Miller and Herzavic or however you spell his name we’re still on their feet when the fight was stopped

Miller gassed and DDD still couldn’t take him off his feet

Hrgovic was stopped on a cut

So those are referee stoppages not clean KOs

Fury said that no one punches like wilder, which is obvious to anyone who has been watching boxing for some time

[Smash]

We saw it with Vlad until he was taught to clinch (cheat),.

oh yeah who could forget vlad with that mighty clinch, he would jab straight shot and literally wrap himself around his opponent, very annoying stuff if u didnt like him but effective

It's funny how boxers can't defend punches well. In training camps what are they practising?

Right, and equally funny how they take the 300 million dollars off the table that 99.99% of ALL big strong, athletic men are terrified to go for.

Here's my guess, Hugh. Boxing at world level just isn't as easy as it looks to the untrained eye.

Great post, and very true. Wilder had Tyson, Foreman, Shavers, Williams, Liston level power.
This is universally acknowledged by the people who actually know the game.
daggum isn't in that league.

It landed because Anthony was fighting scared, his head was up in the air and his hands were down because he didn’t want to commit to a punch

He was always trying to pull away after he punched and not get hit
he didn’t commit to a punch until the final round when he got dropped for the last time

The funny thing is it’s the exact same kind of punch Wilder throws but at 1/8 the speed

If wilder would of landed that punch on Anthony he would still be asleep right now

A very astute post! It's precisely what I've been saying for a decade, and a truth not lost on Matchroom Boxing.

Joshua is a tremendous heavyweight operating in a stacked era; but he would never end the fight standing against Deontay Wilder. Not in a million years.

Horrible style clash for Joshua.

Depends what you mean by standing... If the Earth tilted as Wilder connected, and the horizontal and vertical changed... technically...

Dubois did not stop his opponents like Wilder... Top 5 lol, out of what? You a ful! There is no real top 5 or top 10, there are 2 or three top guys and a bunch of workmanlike fighters, and then the contenders. You are overrating Dubois so you can credit Joshua... Like everyone here knew you would! A moment ago DD was a defensively suspect hitter who was clawing up the ladder. DD does not even have one punch power, he uses accumulation, like he did against Joshua.

You have to understand the mentality... If Dubois is this incredible puncher, who fought the cream of the crop, then Joshua lost to the best... Never mind that this scenario is laughable. Dubois is doing well, as Parker is and as Bakole is... They are fighting guys in the division who round it out. Dubois was stopped by Usyk, as was Joshua, that is parity of a sort... Joshua was simply overrated. Usyk was diplomatic but stated clearly that Joshua was not a hard fight for him. If one assumes the Dubois punch on Usyk was legal, then one has to assume Usyk would have gotten up if it was not called low.

The way I see it is you have 3 guys successfully challenging for a crack at the apple: They are the three mentioned above. It would be a second chance for Dubois...

Who can argue that? Lol

Was a huge overhand looping right thrown from a million miles away. How did AJ not block/get out of the way?? Head up in the air with his hands down. Unbelievable

When I saw it, my first reaction was this is a punch zelenoff would throw
