    Granted but if guys like Ortiz, Szpilka, Fury, Duhaupas etc had Wilders power theres no doubt he would have been cleaned out.

    His power is absolutely insane

      He's set a new precident for power bailing a fighter out, fight in, fight out. And really he makes a mockery of "skill"

      But I'm starting to believe that he will keep doing this and retire unbeaten. Proving that power is the ultimate skill in boxing
      I’ve come to believe that Wilder truly believes he is the greatest boxer to ever lace up a pair of gloves. It sounds silly when he doesn’t have the skills of a pure boxer — not even close, but yet he keeps getting the knockouts he needs to win, and it’s hard to argue with that.

        He's the closest thing to a demi-god we have on Earth. To be able to knock out anyone like that is amazing. If I had to walk thru the gates of Hell I'd want Wilder by my side, not Fury or Joshua.

          One of the gayest posts ever posted on here. "I'd want Wilder by my side"

            But if that 1 bullseye is all you need to win the whole thing, then its good.

            Although I am surprised that he made it this far, not because he started late, but with his skills.

              He already lost to Fury once, despite the knockdowns, so it showed he can’t keep doing it and didn’t do it at the top level

              Can he keep doing it to the likes of Breazeale? Probably

                But w hat doesn't hurt wilder is that he punches real fast and great athlete.
                Just like serena Williams I doubt she's most skillful but gets by with power and being best athlete

                  The guy has faced literally one opponent in his entire 40+ fight career who was elite and also had punching power, thats probably an intentional choice too. Its actually pretty likely that a large factor in Wilder being so willing to face Fury (beyond thinking he was washed up back in 2018 after seeing the fatty in the Pianeta and Seferi fights) was because stylistically he should offer Wilder plenty of time to look for his big bail out shot without being in too much danger himself.

                      He's been out boxed like once or twice and went on to drop or stop his opponent. I don't see how that's really something to be alarmed about. It does take skill to land punches and to avoid them long enough to be able to. Also, it's not like he just can't box at all.
