Is Wilder right hand the single hardest punch in boxing history ?

[champion4ever]

Yes, Deontay Wilder's right hand is the single hardest punch in boxing history. Even George Foreman said that Wilder was even a harder puncher than he was at that stage of his career.

It’s up there for sure. It sounds like it. I wish Wilder hit Amir khan with that punch

Hard for anyone to debate this.

It just really came to my attention ive been try to calculate who has the single hardest punch in history Wilder is my leading canidate so far.

Foreman in my opinion

[luke1979]

I'd say it's a close second to Paulie Malignaggi's jab.

Hard, maybe impossible to tell. But I remember the first time I saw Wilder connect with that right. It was the “holy shit” effect. There’s no doubt he has elite power. I don’t know how anyone can say otherwise. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. Haha

Wilder's straight right is one of the hardest punches ever but smaller great heavyweights of the past could punch with great force. Marciano, Dempsey and Joe Louis were great punchers. Sonny Liston, Foreman, the K brothers were all huge punchers. It's possible for one punch power Wilder hits the hardest. His straight right has great speed and weight behind it.

Probably someone you never heard of has the hardest punch ever. Just because you can punch hard doesn’t mean you are also a good enough boxer that people have heard of you. In fact, the odds are against it.

You could argue Ortiz was saved by the bell in round 5 and Fury was flattened with 40 pounds on him and has the ability to box while hurt. Breazale while a no hoper had a solid chin and Wilder cracked him.

Sure he definitely has power, if he didnt he wouldnt be anywhere near where he is right now. But the point is that he has stepped up his opposition against Ortiz and Fury and struggled to get them out of there (he couldnt with Fury).

Brezeale's chin had already been cracked by Joshua tbf.

Wilder hits very hard by I question whether he has the single hardest punch in history.

Remind me - who with a really good chin was KO'd by Wilder ?

[_Rexy_]

The fact that his KO’s are against guys 30-60lbs heavier makes him one of the hardest punchers IMO.

Because There have been many Cruiserweights who were heavier on fight night than Wilder has been in a lot of his fights.
