How hard do you think Deontay Wilder hits?

[Quiksilva]

I think this guy is probably the hardest puncher in the heavyweight division. After watching some of his highlights

Although his physique doesn't show it compared to bodies like Joshua but he has raw athleticism and is very fast

Definitely the hardest puncher in the division by quite a margin. I’ve heard a bunch of sparring partners say that he hits considerably harder than Joshua. He’s got true 1 punch KO power

Did you see what he did to Ortiz? Enough said!

Hard but not as hard as people make it out to be. Promoters get fighters to build up their KO record by fighting journeymen/bums so that they have something to hype up. Kind of like Mathysse(along with many other fighters), the majority of his KO's came from bums/journeymen but when he stepped up in competition his KO rate completely dropped.

If we were to gauge it in terms of physics and establish a tangible value by which to measure it, I would say; he hits pretty fking hard.

Wilder’s KO rate hasn’t dropped. Stiverne said after the first fight that he (Wilder) doesn’t hit hard...I wonder if anyone asked him again after the second fight.

After the Ortiz fight, I’m convinced Wilder is by far the hardest hitter in the division.

If Joshua swung like a windmill he'd hit just as hard imo.

lol’d at this but yup it could be true.

If wilder goes into the fight over confident in his power and expecting a definite knockout, he may be in for a rude shock.
That gypsy can move and rarely stays still for punchers to plant their feet to land the “one punch” type of knockout.
I think everyone is expecting wilder to just catch him easy with one punch and finish him, but I think that’s a bad strategy because if it don’t work your behind on points and need a plan b..
Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think wilder can really hurt him with one punch, but it needs to be a good punch that lands on him to do this, easier said than done.. wilder has that right hand, but if it gets taken away, he’s in trouble

Probably hits as hard as the South African who beat wlad
