Wilders arms are freakishly long

[llll]

Getting hit flush with a swooping hook from wilder must be devastating.

meh, you see how easily those things get blocked. i'd rather have him throwing at me than david tua. at least youcan block that wilder ****, duck it, see it coming etc. tua's hook was about 10 inches, he knew how to stand off to the side at an angle, and they almost never got back up when it landed flush.


wilder's best shot is his right hand. he throws is straight once in a while. it's the hardest punch in boxing, and probabl ythe hardest punch i've ever seen from a contemporary fighter. i think it's a harder shot than tua's hook, for instance.

No one on this earth would get up from a STRAIGHT flush right hand of Wilder with full extension.

Tyson Fury disagree

What gave it away? His reach?

Tyson Fury disagree

He got hit hard but didn't take the full potential force of that right hand I don't think.

[Cutthroat]

He's got about a 6-11 wingspan. Crazy to think in the nba that's normal, in fact you got guys that height with 7-4 wingspans.

[CHOWWOKKA]

He has an Ape Index of +4 so... long but not nearly as long as other boxers in the past.
Liston had like +11 ? or something like that so he had freaky arms.

[YoungManRumble]

Wilder has a terrible left hook though. That's probably the best one he's ever landed and Fury was already going down anyway.

Long arms better for straight punches than hooks

... and he got long chicken legs too. Good for runnin from the Bodysnatcher.
