Where does Wilder generate his power from?

[Luilun]

You punch with your arms, not your legs. The legs add some to the power of a punch but the main power comes the shoulders and Wilder has powerful shoulders. His shoulders give his arms that speed and speed is power. If he turns his waist into the blow and pushes off his legs he has a powerful punch. Lots of very hard punchers had slim legs. Hearns, and Bob Foster were tall and slim with thin legs and were great punchers. Crawford doesn't have big legs either.

People with thin legs tend to have power say with a straight right. thunder Thigh fighters like Tyson tend to have power with hooks and upper cuts just look at Joe Fraizer left hook took Ali down . Tommy Hearns right hand took Pippino Cuavas and Duran down

The truth is; if someone taught Deontay Wilder to throw straight, textbook punches he would probably lose a lot of his power. His weird flail/windmill punching style is a strength and a weakness.

Even if his legs are skinny, he's still transferring energy from the floor up.

Right. Efficient transfer of power from the legs (via torque and proper timing) to the hips, shoulder, arm, and finally the fist, is the hallmark of a devastating puncher. Tommy Hearns is a clear example.

Easily the most dangerous puncher in the division; I say from good timing, speed, accuracy, snap and a wiry length. Most of his knockouts stem from the fact that his opponents don't even see them coming.

He's too fast for a lumbering muscle-bound plodder like AJ's doped-up ass.

If he ever develops a good jab his power would become even more dangerous because a stiff quick jab helps blind the opponent from seeing the straight right hand from landing.

That's why when Wilder and AJ finally decide to get it on he's knocking Joshua out. AJ already knows this and it's not a damn thing he can do about it. Not even a damn thing. AJ punches are much wider and slower compared to Wilder's. Therefore, Deontay would see then coming from a mile a way.

Joshua is a sitting duck for Wilder...a big doped-up sitting duck.

Wilder has the stamina to keep Joshua turning like all night.
