How hard does Deontay Wilder hit compared to Foreman, Tua, Shavers etc?

[Dariusz]

Sounds like you wouldn't give Wilder any credit no matter who he knocks out or puts on the floor.

As I said before -- if he puts to sleep someone serious, I WILL ADMIT I WAS WRONG.

We’re definitely on the same wavelength regarding these guys. I see it much the same. The last fight was almost two years ago. And although Ortiz is in pretty good shape for a fighter over 40, he’s still a middle-aged man. Ortiz might try pressuring Wilder early, knowing the later the fight goes, the less chance he’ll have at winning. Deontay will do what he always does, look for an opening for that monster right. I see it landing somewhere between the 4th and 6th rounds, and then the fight will be over. I think it’ll be an entertaining little fight. It appears Luis is coming to win. And you know what? It wouldn’t shock me if he does.

I would say we hit that pretty close huh? Damn its time to say Wilder is the hardest hitting heavy ever with one shot. I was still saying Foreman, and he did have that power in both hands, and had the heaviest hands ive ever seen. One punch for one punch though I think Wilder just might be the best ever. What's your take from the fight?

Yeah, we weren’t too far off. Can’t say I’m always that right about these things. Lol I didn’t watch the fight, just read about it and saw some highlights. That KO punch was some shot. Yikes. Few punchers are in the same conversation. Looks like Deontay really doesn’t care about winning rounds. He can actually afford to do that, which is scary. Wilder is arguably the best right now, and not because he beat Ortiz. He’s just so powerful that, unless you can knock him out, you’re likely to get KTFO yourself.

Wilder hits harder than anyone, his kinematic chains are more pure and his KO record speaks for itself. Every Marciano has a Lowry except for Wilder.

Could farther that actually, who of the men that didn't get KO'd by the great punchers of yesterday do youse think Wilder would struggle to KO?

Anyone here reckon King or Forte or some such makes it 12 with Wilder?

[famicommander]

I think the fact that all of those guys were better combination punchers than Wilder, yet still had lower KO percentages, speaks for itself. Wilder is in most cases a one shot, or a jab-straight right puncher. On his best day he can follow that up with an uppercut or a hook, but you almost never see him put together 3-6 punch combinations.

And yet, time and time again, he still puts people to sleep. Everybody knows he's just looking for the home run and they still get hit with it anyway.

[_Rexy_]

Tough to say, since those guys were probably more heavy handed, with everything harder while Wilder likely has a harder right hand.

[Dariusz]

Ortiz was serious.

Sort of serious. Good chin but not granite. If he puts to sleep Parker, Ruiz or Kownacki (just to name these three) it will be something. Hopefully, he will have balls big enough to fight them instead waiting for neverending unreal drama with Fury and Joshua.

[LetOutTheCage]

Those guys you mentioned fought much higher level opposition so it's all relative.

Young Mike was ko'ing everyone more brutally than Wilder has done his opponents but when he took the step up and fought higher level opposition his KO percentage went down. I think Tyson, Shavers and Foreman overall where harder hitters than Wilder.

Wilder hits extremely hard no doubt but he seems to be very reliant on his right, these other guys had real power in both hands
