TBH I think Wilder's power is as hyped as the rest of his 'attributes'.
If we agree that it is easier to stop a journeyman / bum than a quality opponent then we can eliminate about 95% of Deontay's resume.
Then you've got the one punch on Stiverne, which was a good punch, but the guy was never there to fight and just like Charles Martin V Joshua he took his cheque and left.
The straight shot that Wlad hit Joshua with has stopped many QUALITY guys and Joshua got rocked but got up. He also took other huge digs from Klitschko as well as having taken Povetkin's shots, Parkers, Whyte's and others. All big hitters..in short, Wilder's power is exaggerated and Joshua's chin is tried and tested. I do believe that Wilder has a good chin, and I would not rule him out of pulling off the upset V Joshua. Bookies make Joshua shorter than a 2/1 favourite so even though Wilder is the dog here he should stop being a ducker and simply make the fight, he has a puncher's chance and he will have home field in the first of two, if he doesn't ***** out of getting destroyed in the UK for the rematch lol.
How anybody at all can defend this guy's chronic yellow streak is an enigma to me and most other serious non- fanboy types.
I will say that it is very encouraging to see the sheer volume of former Wilder supporters who have had enough of his (and Finkel's) bs and are now calling this guy out for hostaging and not fighting. Enough is enough. Boxing fans unite and end this.
