For his size do you consider AJ to have good power?

    Yeah he's a big puncher. Moreover he's a pretty good combination puncher, as we saw when he smashed Povetkin.

    Plenty of guys have been similar size to Joshua but can't punch as hard.

        Same thing happens with Deontay all the time, yet he has a reputation of knocking people stone dead, yet rarely does it.

        AJs KOs over guys like Povetkin and Dillian Whyte are just as good KOs as any of Wilders, if not better against better competition.

          I think the only "one punch" KO I recall from Wilder is Spzilka fight.

            I'm sure there's a few more, but against who?

            Look at it, Ortiz went down and got up. So did Stiverne multiple times. So did a lot of the journeymen he fought like Molina, Firtha, Washington etc. hell even Audley Harrison was waved off, but he could have fought on.

            Yes, Wilder KOd Szpilka and it was a great KO. Has Szpilka not been KOd before and since against limited/mediocre opposition? I think he has.

            Whyte and Povetkin were knocked senseless by AJ, and have only ever been KOd or even hurt that badly vs AJ.

            Of course AJ is a tremendously hard puncher. Maybe he's not a one-punch guy, but he can knock anyone in the world out.

              I would say, the difference of power between Joshua and AJ is like Golovkin and Lemieux.

                AJ can effectively end a fight with 1 punch.

                Dunno why there’s an opinion that he can’t.

                Povetkin was done from 1 punch from AJ as an effective fighting force.

                Wilder is different is he’s putting people out cold.

                Pretty sure AJ can and will do that too over the course of his career

                  Who does Wilder put out cold exactly? It took him ages to start hurting Ortiz and Fury. Yes he sparked Szpilka but...you know....he was a nobody.

                  Both AJ and Wilder have similar power but AJs punches are straighter and he will get to fighters quicker, which is why he damages them more. Wilder probably has the better one punch but top fighters can avoid that.

                      Difficult to say because there's really nobody even close to his size to compare to, 6'6 250lbs is quite literally a mr olympia bodybuilding physique.

                      Considering he's probably the biggest boxer ever (FFMI based), he's definately not the hardest hitter so there's that

                      I find the whole AJ thing hilarious though, there's footage of him shredded at 91KG at the 2012 London Olympics and even back then he's clearly at either peak natural limit or even bigger than what's possible naturally, and now he has gained 20KG of muscle, an amount that most people couldn't gain training specifically for bodybuilding and eating perfectly in 10 years from scratch, nevermind already having a peak physique - it's laughable lol
