Deontay Wilder is the hardest puncher in the history of the sport.

[Fanofreason]

All wilder has to do is land that 1 right hand. Greatest equalizer in sports

[Vlad_]

don't dodge the question.

how much does the average cruiser cut? what's the average cruiser's in-ring weight?


Wilder is the average weight of a cruiser in ring and banging out super heavies.

Yes that is true. His only “advantage” is that he doesn’t actually need to dehydrate to go down to make 200, but come fight night, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s lighter than some rehydrated cruisers.

[Mushroom]

His right hand is the hardest punch in boxing history imo. I’ve never seen a punch like it - maybe Wlads left hook comes the closest

[Boksfan]

He might be but he's still a focking coward from Alabama.

[Mindgames]

it's irrefutable. He's banging guys out 30+ lbs heavier with a single punch.


you think Julian Jackson can 1 punch KO a cruiserweight?

It doesnt work that way at heavyweight. Herbie Hide and Mike Tyson knocked Breazele level and sized heavies with one shot too. If Breazele got the fat off, he wouldn't weigh much more than Wilder. Lennox Lewis was flattening Razor Ruddock at barely over 16 stone. Nothing irrefutable about it.

[Mindgames]

100% he is. the amount of leverage, speed and sheer ferocious will to kill people is unparalleled. foreman didn't have the speed, tyson didn't have the leverage that wilder does.

freak puncher

Tyosn, Foreman, Lewis and Bowe took out guys better than Breazele and Ortiz.Yeah,hes a good puncher, but best ever? Apples and oranges.

[Lomadeaux]

Foreman made way more mistakes though, and Lewis was getting rocked by euro level fighters like Mavrovic.

Wilder is just REALLY good.

He is a good fighter. His power can push him higher than a good fighter.

Man if this dude learned to use his jab and be a good boxer he’d be extremely hard to beat.

[Don Pichardo]

he would knock Ali, Foreman, Marciano out cold.

Forman could knock him out cold too

[tonysoprano]

Anyone can bang out bums. Which A grade fighter has he knocked out? There isn't one.

And yes Breazale on that showing counts as a bum, he fought like a walking heavy bag in there.

[HeadShots]

Forman could knock him out cold too

Foreman is taylor made for Wilder.


Foreman's got 2 left feet. slow. plodding. straight upright. Wide open for the Alabama Slamma.

Foreman's also shorter, less rangy and a hooker. His best punch, uppercut would never land on 6'7 Wilder.
