Anthony Joshua lacks the punching power required to hurt / KO / drop Deontay Wilder

[BostonPitbull]

Wilder couldn't even straight up KO Charlie Zelenoff... he aint got power

He was toying with that kid. That kid could’ve easily sued assault. Truth is Wilder was landing soft shots because he’s a pro boxer

[IMDAZED]

I think people overlook that a lot of great punchers have great timing. They look to set up their KO shot and it can takes rounds to do this. Even Wilder does this (Szpilka KO, for instance).

Joshua is one of those fighters who can turn up the power in a hurry. But he's smart enough to vary the power on his shots. I never got the sense he was going all out against Takam. He just stayed within himself and fought his fight. He has the power to hurt/drop/KO Wilder for sure.

I'm sure you posted something like this before but just with a different title.

Yeah but on which one of his other alts?

LOL, so Harold Sconiers is a harder puncher than Anthony Joshua in your opinion?

Luis Ortiz is!

Recent performances matter. Not ancient performances. Wilder's chin is NOW significantly better than before, to the point where Joshua will stand almost no chance at knocking out Wilder now.

Wilder's chin > Joshua's chin

Wilder's chin > Joshua's punching power

Wilder punching power > Joshua's punching power

Wilder's punching power > Joshua's chin


In every which way you look at it, this is a lopsided mismatch in favour of Deontay Wilder. Anthony Joshua stands almost no chance at winning.

It was probably in the same account tbh, if it was a different account i don't remember the name.

And wilder threw the kitchen sink at molina and took 9 rounds to stop him. When AJ destroyed him pretty much the first time he hit him clean.

Thread is a fail, AJ 100% has the power to chin wilder.

Fair enough, those are two of the top guys at heavyweight but lets expand the discussion a bit.

How do you rate the punching power of a fringe heavyweight contender such as Eric Molina?

I rate Eric Molina's power to be lower than Luis Ortiz's by an astronomical margin.

Deontay Wilder dropped Eric Molina for the 10 count. AJ didn't!

But Ortiz hurt Wilder badly, Wilder was on spaghetti legs in the seventh round. It's not like Wilder take Ortiz' punches the same way Mercer and Holyfield took bombs from Lennox Lewis. The first time Ortiz landed cleanly, he hurt Wilder.
