Joe Louis at 212 KO'd a 265 lb. Carnera. Watch Carnera's fights, he was Wlad before Wald was Wlad.
Plenty of fighters had power equal to or perhaps greater than Wilder...Liston, Shavers, Tyson, Louis, Lewis, Vitali, Dempsey. Wilder is 6'7' so it stands to reason he should be getting more leverage on his punches, especially since he throws them from such a wide stance. The fact that it took him 40 fights before he actually fought a real opponent (39 year old Ortiz) tells us all we need to know about Wilder and why his KO percentage is so high.Comment

I don’t know about 1 punch KOs but Foreman, Liston, Tyson, Louis, Frazier, Wlad, Lewis all had way more knockouts over top competition than Wilder, who at this moment in time has 1.Comment

hes one of the hardest punchers no doubt all he needs to to is land, no idea who the all time hardest puncher is tho.Comment

Shavers is literally known for knocking guys down and they come back and knock his ass out. Then they say he punch the hardest to give themselves more credit for beating him. Shavers power is the most overrated legend in boxing history.Joe Louis at 212 KO'd a 265 lb. Carnera. Watch Carnera's fights, he was Wlad before Wald was Wlad.

Tyson's power is more in combinations he doesn't really have 1 punch KO's. He's never really put anybody to sleep like Wilder does regularly. Tyson's power also doesn't carry late.
Foreman's power is accumulative. Very hard to find 1 punch KO's.
Joe Louis might be close in a historical perspective but plenty of guys went to decision with him too. And he wasn't fighting 250+ men regularly enough.
Vitali is definitely an accumulative finisher.
Dempsey is also accumulative. He doesn't have 1 punch KO's.Comment

All of these fighters did something Wilder has not...fought top tier opponents. Who has Wilder out to sleep? Lets here the names of these HOF worthy opponents.Shavers is literally known for knocking guys down and they come back and knock his ass out.

Can you imagine what punchers Foreman, Frazier, Shavers, Liston, Cleveland Williams, Tyson, Lewis, Louis ect would have done to the collection of bums that Wilder has built his reputation on. Wilder can definately hit but as anyone how knows boxing will tell you the better opposition the less KOs you will get. Wilder has fought one really elite Heavyweight in his career who doesnt even have a great chin and failed to keep him down.Last edited by hogey; 12-04-2018, 02:40 PM.Comment

False. Wilder's Ortiz win is better than Mike Tyson's LHW Spinks or shot Holmes. ORtiz better than anybody SHavers beat.
Undefeated top ranked opponent.
Foreman knocked out Frazier but he would be a lightheavy today.
Tyson and Shavers in particular has lost to all the great guys of their era.
Deontay WIlder just had a draw. He didn't wilt like Shavers or Tyson and his power carried late.Comment
