Comments Thread For: Haye: I Believe Wilder is Hardest Punching Heavyweight Ever

[hugh grant]

In not sure wilder is something really special yet like hate claims. He punched hard and is fast and has good chin. He's one of the best right now in time what can I say?

God you guys are idiots when it comes to this fraud. How can a boxer go 10 years and only fight a couple of top ten opponents, knocking out mostly bums and gatekeepers, and he is somehow the hardest puncher ever? Y'all are ******

We aren't idiots and Wilder isn't a complete fraud. If you're knocking out gatekeepers with a single punch, then clearly you're not a fraud and deserve to get past the gate with flying colors.

Wilder is not a good boxer, doesn't have good technique, or even good stamina. But I would never underestimate that one punch knockout power. Somehow it has never failed him. Yes, I am aware of fury getting up like something from the undead, but a look at it in slow motion demonstrates that his glove was still touching the canvas at 10 seconds. Glad they didn't stop it, but technically, he was knocked out.

And I think that even an aging Ortiz and fury are a level above gate keepers.

Wilder is one of those fighters where you can't admire his footwork, technique or stamina. But when he strikes and the other person discombobulates, we are left will calling it luck and a fraud.

His power is not fraudulent, at least give him that.

People like u are so ****** it's not even funny.

There isn't a heavyweight out there past or present that has fought murderers row on a consistent basis.

They've all fought lessor opposition because theres only 2-3 top heavyweights at a time..

The matchroom interns on this site won’t stand for this! How dare a Brit say something complementary about Wilder! We must bash him and raise up disgraced mediocrity cheat Whyte and praise our Lord and master Eddie. Praise him! Praise him!

Lol now that was funny and oh so true lol. “Matchroom interns”....I’m convinced they are connected to Matchroom as well and we all know their handles

"I let that punch machine off with a warning this time"

Hahaha! I cracked it pretty good a few times but there were just as many that I didn't. One of many things that reminded me that while I love boxing, it's best that I enjoy it ringside and not in the ring.

[PBR Streetgang]

I seen drunk cholos peg that machine. It's not moving, not thinking, and not shooting back. I fell off of a barstool once.

Yet despite all that, I still managed to miss the damn thing a few times.

[Kiowhatta]

I will say he seems to have freakish one shot power, like a damn thunder bolt that cracks out of his fist. Teddy Atlas had alot of cheesy sayings but I liked his one about power. He said a fighters power is like a missile, it does no good if it doesn't have a guidance system to make sure it hits the target. Wilder has managed to make sure at least one of his missiles hits paydirt in virtually every fight he's been in.

As far as his chin, it's tough to say because we haven't seen him in against some of the bigger ****ers. The few times I've seen him buzzed or hurt, he seems to recuperate fairly quickly.

He's like a Katyusha rocket launcher - low on accuracy, but terrifying and damaging if it lands.

I know it's been said a million times but Wilder has probably the weakest resumé in the history of HW 'world champions'.
Secondly, he hasn't travelled, which is also usually a requisite when assessing a career.

Fury isn't really much of a threat to Wilder, especially if he realises he has a decent chin and decent KO power - stylistically he's perfect for Wilder as Fury is mostly a boxer who moves, holds and doesn't really sit down on his punches.

If he did, I'm sure he would do a lot of damage, as having good technique, relative speed all contribute to better power.

Stop hating.

Go watch his last 2 fights if you need more convincing.

Compare his brezeale fight to AJ's brezeale fight if you need more convincing.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Lol. Shavers and Tua were never world champs, but they would stop everybody Wilder stopped, easily.

Wilder is the most overrated puncher ever. He is killing machine because he stopped Szpilka, lol.

[Tyistall]

Shaking my head...I keep forgetting. Wilder hasn't fought 40+ fights...he has only fought the last 2 years. That's is, if you believe his fans haha. They conveniently forget that he has fought bums for years and has only just now started stepping up his competition. He has fought 4 guys in the top 25 right now...4. So to sit there and talk about his power is ridiculous because he hasn't really been tested. Ortiz is old and he has never beaten anyone good. Fury was 3 years fresh off the coach in the first fight and he should have won that fight. You idiot Wilder fans have to know that your fraud champion has yet to fight anyone with power, in their prime yet, right? You guys can't be that dumb....right? Or does Szpilka and Arreola count?
