Deontay Wilder's power is grossly overrated

[jreckoning]

My countryman Kownacki, Ruiz or Parker (previously Tua, for instance, who never was floored).
If Wilder wins by KO with at least one of the three afore mentioned, I will never doubt in his power.

He was late in his career, by of all people, Monte Barrett, not really known as a puncher.

Yup, Wilder has zero power by the OP's logic.

Yeah, kind of a disappointing ending and back up to a pretty good troll job of a thread.

Punches 10 times harder than Mini Mike ever did. Fact! The GOAT of power punching. If you think the likes of Mini Mike or Foreman Grill punch harder than the windmiller, then you are very much mistaken.

You can argue Wilder’s skills, perso ality, lack of big time drawing power (though its making less sense now with that) and pretty much anything..but his power is undeniable. Its literally the only thing you cant ignore. Sure, his “windmill” style sometimes is off putting..sure, maybe his lack of class skills (despite him improving) led him to not be able to cleanly land until later in the fights...but the man can flatline you all night long. His power is such that when you think Deontay you think power.

Cant even have a fantasy fight without going “yeah but if he lands the right hand clean...”

Stop hating man. Hate on his lack of refinement or somethin’

His right hand is the hardest 1 punch in boxing history imo. This is coming from a Brit who isn't a fan of Wilder.

If you listen to boxers who spar with Wilder they tend to say the same thing. There was an interview with the guy that supposedly KOed Joshua in sparring. Really cool dude from Philly I think. Anyway he'd sparred with Joshua, Wilder and Wlad. He rated their power scoring AJ an 7, Wlad a 8/9 and Wilder a 10.

Sure this is just one guys opinion but considering Wlad was a huge puncher it says a lot about Wilder.

Show me another heavyweight champion with a 95% KO ratio

Most HW champions have a 95% KO ratio up to the level of facing 40 year olds with no significant wins.

Its harder work to dig out one who doesnt have this.

You can try and down him all you want buddy but one things for sure your looking at all natural freakish power which is why he's the most hated among people that's not of color.its just awesome genetics what can I tell ya.

Wilder's right hand is legit. When others are getting stoppages he is putting people to sleep.

He connected cleanly twice against Fury and we saw what happened.

To say that his power is grossly overrated is just ignorant.

[uppercut510]

its simple, when he hits people clean, they fall or stumble

Who has he actually put to sleep other than Stiverne and Szpilka?

Fury got up.
Stiverne got up in the first fight.
Ortiz got up and lost because of exhaustion
Breazeale got up
Washington wasn't even KOd
