    I wouldn't say its overrated, its legit.

    It's just that you can see his punches coming from a mile, they are wild and inaccurate, so his ability to land it clean is a true lottery.

    Anthropometrically he has all the features of a powerful hitter.

        Just about the only thing about Wilder that you can't argue at all isn't real...someone says it's not real.

        Lol I guess the guys he fights just knock themselves out.

            He certainly does have power but it's worth remembering the only decent opponent he faced lasted 12 rounds with him, even if he did take a bit of a beating.

            That's just how it goes though. You can't keep stopping people when you go through the level as we saw with GGG v Jacobs. Joshua has KO's in all his fights but the best fighter he faced took him to the 11th round and give him all he could handle, and that was a guy in his 40's that has been KO'd before.

            The point being you can't just say someones power is overrated because they didn't stop somebody when they moved up in levels or took a while to do it. Wilder clearly does carry power. Will he continue to stop everyone if he fights good opponents? no, same as Joshua will eventually meet someone who can take him the distance and take his shots well, as will other fighters with extremely high or perfect KO %

              He wasn't ko'd he was fighting back and the fight was pre maturely stopped.

                Doesnt matter, you asked who stopped him and i told you.
                Wilder couldnt force a stoppage on the ropes, but a journeyman with 20 losses could

                    Whatever, the point still stands, 2 journeyman have both dropped and stopped him, wilder could do neither..
