Was Vitali Klitschko a harder puncher than AJ and DW?

[dan_cov]

I don't think so.

Vitali never struck me as a puncher in the slightest he was an awkward guy that overwhelmed with volume.

Maybe about as hard as Whyte though Whyte has better timing and a harder left hook than any singular shot Vitali had to offer.

Aj hits way harder than Vitali.

No, but his style was more destructive than Joshua's and Wilder's.

He would've ****ed them up in his prime.

This.


After Fury he's the best Heavyweight ever, Head-to-Head.

He just doesn't have the names on his record that most other great champions have.

I don't know if Vitali hits harder than DW or AJ, but Vitali Klitschko and Deontay Wilder are the only Heavyweight champs to never get dropped in their pro careers (though Wilder got dropped in the amateurs). Joshua was dropped once as a pro by a 40 year old Wlad Klitschko. But Deontay Wilder's chin doesn't look anywhere near as durable as Vitali's did.

So if prime Vitali ever fought prime Wilder or Joshua, I see his chin withstanding their best punches, and I see them getting stopped or knocked out.

Wilder was dropped by Sconiers so think again, his chin is nothing special, Vitali is a different story.
