Wilder`s huge power is a pure myth

[JakeTheBoxer]

He had a power, but the had a power of a prime heavyweight, when he was in his prime, that is all.

His power was never anything special. Stieverne ate everything Wilder had in the first fight. Duhaupas ate everyhing, the fight was stopped because of a cut. Fury was dropped many times by Wilder, but Fury was dropped many times by other guys also. Parker was never hurt. Zhang was never hurt by Wilder`s punch.

I think Itauma and Wardley hit harder and with more devastating damage Wilder ever did.

I think he likely had/has serious power.

His amateurish technique is where he struggles. He needs the perfect range and to be on the front foot mostly.

He's never really known how to throw straight punches and his footwork is very poor meaning he can't position himself. The better boxers don't give that perfect range, so he gets exposed when he fights anyone half decent.

People he sparred with have embellished and responsible for it. Tyson fu ry, David haye said wilder hit hard. So depends who you ask. Ask chisora

He must have just been lucky to have found 44 guys with weak chins.

A pucher as Wilder was can smash grade B tomato cans. It is how good of a puncher he was, including thier losses and records of ring ranked opponents which can determine how good they really are in the department ... especially if they landed a lot of punches vs. them as Wilder did as you chronicled.


He is overrated. Period. His management gets a thumbs up for making him a lot of money.

wasnt luck. it was purposeful. they matched him soft. he could get 100 ko's over that level of opposition. doesnt make him the biggest puncher ever.

Point me at where I said he was the 'biggest puncher ever.'

ah hi mottte and bailey. you implied he had great power by saying he knocked out 44 opponents as if that means anything but the important question is who were those 44? literally only 1 opponent he has ever knocked out has been ranked by ring magazine. that means he was knocking out weak opposition. percentage wise he knocked out 2 of 8 top 10 ring opponents so 25% and the 2 were the same guy which makes it even less impressive. you are giving wilder accolades and credit because he fought weak opposition for so long when that should be seen as a bad thing, not a good thing. if he had stepped up earlier his power stats would have decreased but because he fought such crappy opposition he developed a reputation which was false. this reputation was carefully crafted purposefully, not built on luck or anything like that.

You are trying to put words in my mouth. Good luck with that.

he's shot and was stumbling all over the place without being hit

power is the last to go
