How much more power would Wilder have if he didn't walk around on toothpicks?

    Why in the HELL would you even want to see him with more power than he already has?

      Kinematic chains don't work that way bud.

        Wilder generates his power from his long wiry build. He gets extra leverage on his punches because of it with his long wingspan and reach. Especially, with the right crosses.

        If Wilder was a lot shorter and stockier, then sure he would generate a lot more power from his legs; Especially in the lighter weight classes like Prince Naseem Hamed and Manny Pacquiao.

          His bicep is literally twice as big as his calf.

            Like many persons of sub-Saharan African ancestry, Wilder appears to have extremely high calf insertions, giving him very little potential for size in that muscle group regardless of how hard he trains them.
