    Or do they hit softer than Wilder?

    They could do it.

    They wouldn't necessarily, because a first round knockout is a bit of a random event.

    I will be honest, I don't think that it is going to go down as one of the great first round knockouts of history!

    If they got the same opening that Wilder did they would. That said it’s impossible to know who hits the hardest out of the three, since Louis, Foreman, and Wilder never had any trouble knocking anybody out that they could land clean on.

    The thing about Breazeale, he is a product of his era and he can't fight even a little bit. He has been very carefully moved along with the intent of cashing out on him. In this era of multiple champions he was able to cash out twice.

    Years ago a friend of mine, with an extensive boxing background, told me about Breazeale. He said he had never seen a slower fighter, nor one that seemed more disinterested in the gym. I know two guys that trained him that walked because he is so lazy in the gym. They walked away from potential paydays rather than be tied to that lummox.

    So would you rate Tyson's KO of Spinks or Louis KO of Schmeling higher or Liston's KO of Patterson higher?

    Breazeale was a non entity and remains such.

    Breazeale was another Michael Grant and he won't be the last.

    If they went out as agressive as they can they would. In fact they'd probably do it to Wilder as well
