Inoue or wilder? Bigger puncher?

[billeau2]

Ortiz was a good solid ko win no doubt but you aren't a huge puncher by koing one good fighter. Too small a sample size. Wilder tried to expand his sample size against good fighters and no more kos.

And ortiz was nearly kod by Ruiz Jr and Charles Martin so his chin is not great. His lack of fighting stiff competition is why he had never been kod. You see how this all connects? You can pretend wilder beat good fighters but he didn't. Guys like Washington, spilzka, duhapas, etc...if you want to claim they are good you will be laughed at

Says who? What great puncher Koed everyone? Your just picking at anything silly. Look at great punchers, and BTW like so many casual fans you confuse great punchers with great finishers, they are not the same. So what fighter caught all his opponents with his punch at the top of the food chain? Liston was a great boxer puncher with an excellent punch, but his KO wins were often finishing the opponent with a strong attack and not with a devistating punch.

Tyson had a devistating punch with either hand... But when he fought up his KO's were diminished. Look at the Ruddock fights. Wilder fought no more, less cans than other fighters. Louis had 15 rounds and used them exceptionally and still went the distance may times.

Levels to the game... KO percentage is ok but seldom tells us much if we do not see how the KO was accomplished. Fury actually had a KO ratio of like 77% coming up, while people were crying about how weak his punching was...

Damn, what is your obsession with Deontay Wilder?

You gotta be into the dark meat, huh?

The answer is of course Wilder because whether you like him or not or think he fought the best competition or not, he regularly knocked out guys who outweighed him by 30-40 lbs.

Wilder barely hurt tiny Charlie zeleonoff with a full force blow. I would eat it up and ko him. Innoue is a real boxer and would floor me

Let’s see if you survive.

You were in attendance in their dms? Wow I think that's called hacking. You are under arrest

No, Nash was there in person with Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua and Earn with Hearn. Wilder counted the money, AJ and Hearn made a run for it, and Wilder and Nash spent the night drinking Gin and Juice whilst listening to Snoop Dogg. Nash out - His Majesty

You are so close to seeing the right answer but all those bum fights truly made an impression on you

Nope, you tried to present a poll that judges KO power in relation to the level of competition. If you want to start a poll that calls out which fighter has the greater skill, you should do that. But in this case, that would be too easy, so you had to throw in the level of competition to support your argument that Wilder is a lousy boxer. Everybody already knows that he can't box. You're also trying to say that he can't punch either, which is just untrue.

You mean Fury who was knocked down vs Cunningham, petjkic, usyk and ngannou? Are they all huge punchers too? Wow what an era to live through

Cunningham is a decent hitter. You will do anything to discredit Wilder. And fury was not knocked down by USYK.

It is the totality of knockouts and how they occurred that make wilder such a lethal puncher.

[billeau2]

How many good fighters did wilder ko before Fury though? Ortiz who was 40? Seems strange his power was very diminished agaisnt all the good fighters he fought. Sure knocking down Fury is nice but it's been done many times. No one would say usyk is the biggest puncher ever, maybe if he fought 40 bums they would...maybe people are catching on to the scam now

You have no concept of how to compare fighters. Would you call good is laughable.

The problem is he gets away with posting these threads. I don't mean he should be censored, or in any way restricted, but people should call him out on this. First of all calling any fighter a bum outside the context of how it is used occasionally is disrespectful. This guy constantly denigrates fighters who to him do not qualify because of immaterial, special interest groups that give rankings to people like WACHE and call them champions.

So Duggum... How many heavyweight champions of any of the belts were able to survive with just a punch? How good was Wilder that he could actually get to the top with just his punch? Ever think about that?

Skill for skill, pound for pound Naoya Inoue is clearly the more destructive and affective offensive fighter 'Deontay Wilder as a Heavyweight fighter, hits with more force. But his actual offensive game is quite unsophisticated and limited. Past Heavyweight fighters such as Frank Bruno in my opinion, overall had a more destructive and effective offense than Deontay Wilder'.

Deontay Wilder's power has a very limited range of application i.e. meaning his power throughout his entire career, was only really most effective from long range predominately and very rarely at mid range. Wilder's power was least effective on the inside; I will go as far to say? That Wilder's inside game, was no more destructive than Oleksandr Uysk's'.

If Deontay Wilder was such a destructive power puncher 'He really should have beaten Tyson Fury in their third fight. At times during that fight, in my opinion? All it would have taken was for Wilder to ether straighten up his punches and deliver them straight down the middle while he had Fury seriously hurt. There was many times in that fight where Tyson Fury was right there for the taking, it was Wilder's lack of technical sophistication which aided in Fury being able to recover each time he was badly hurt'.

That version of Tyson Fury who fought Deontay Wilder for the third time 'Hypothetically in my opinion would have been a bad knockout waiting to happen, vs multiple all-time great Heavyweight fighters'.

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury III 'May have been a competitive, passionate and action packed fight. But skill for skill it was not a high level Heavyweight title fight, both fighters were fatigued by round 2 to 3. Tyson Fury early in the fight was also making unforced errors and technical mistakes, which are not really associated with elite level boxing'.

Note: The events from the action of that fight, which lead to the firsts knockdowns of each fighter 'Encapsulates precisely the level of the action skill for skill. Deontay Wilder was first decked in round 3 by Fury, and it was due to a combination of fatigue and just walking towards Fury with no real fortified defense. Then Tyson Fury in round 4 for no apparent reason, decided to stand square on vs Wilder and just wade forward. It was like he was opening the front door to his house, but instead? To his credit Deontay Wilder whacked him with a power puncher the consequence for this technical mistake'.

Regardless I still rate the Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury trilogy 'As the greatest Heavyweight rivalry since Rid**** Bowe vs Evander Holyfield I, II, & III. But this high rating is not due to the skill level of those fights. The reason why the Wilder vs Fury trilogy is great, was because of the passionate and competitiveness between the two fighters. It was an awesome boxing event'.

To conclude: Deontay Wilder's best performance and fights 'Both show that he has power, but also that he does not have a elite level offensive game. Mike Tyson, Ray Mercer, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Tommy Morrison, David Tua, Ron Lyle, George Foreman those are some of the past great Heavyweight fighters with not only power but a very high level offensive game' etc.
