    Did Lennox Lewis have a harder right hand than Wilder?

    Its kind of weird because Lennox didn't always seem to put his everything in his right, but we've seen it on rare display a few times with Ruddock, Rahman, Grant and that devastating uppercut to Vitali.

    I saw the Rahman and Vitali fight live and each time i said HOLY SHYT out loud. He literally did did not hild back on either of those punches.

    So i kind of wonder if he actually punched harder than Wilder, but rarely put in on display.

      Wilder puts everything into his punches, that is why he loses position stumbles and leaves himself open.

      But when you are fighting tomato can you can get away with that.

      Lennox is a boxer, yes he can generate more power but against top opposition you leave yourself open to be countered, and you waste shots and look silly much like how Wilder looked against Fury.

        Debateable, at this stage i would say yes, only because Lennox dispatched a far higher level of opposition.

          Power = Mass X Velocity
          Wilder Power = Mass X Velocity

          Lewis Power = Mass X Velocity

            It not that simple.

            You need the technique to transfer all mass, you need the timing to land the shot right

            Fury has faster hands and his more massive, doesn't hit as hard though.

                No, of course it isn't quite that simple. There is efficiency too. Clearly when Fury throws he isn't getting a lot of body mass involved in the formula.

                  Hell nah, not even close! Mike Tyson ate Lennox Lewis' punches like skittles and so did David Tua and Evander Holyfield and a host of other heavyweight titleholders and contenders.

                    Actually Arreola said Vitali Klitschko hit harder than Wilder.
