Who hits harder Joshua or Deontay

I see it this way:

Footwork - Joshua
Footspeed - Wilder

Chin - Joshua
Stamina - Wilder

Power - Joshua
Timing - Wilder

 

Nichols was out maneuvering him lmao

 

wilder is longer and winds his punches up from way way back in some cases throwing the proverbial hail marys / if they land which is rare then they are going to be huge shots / bigger than joshua / who is very convential in his punches/

joshua is in better position with his body torque and having his legs under him in closer / wilder with the huge wind ups from distance.

but these wind up punches put a fighter more at risk for a counter than the tighter straighter shots joshua throws.

wilder looks quicker to me with his handspeed and this is an advantage.

 

Based on what? When Whyte landed one good shot, Joshua froze and became stationary target that Wilder would have finished quickly. Poor chin and stamina is the worst combination to have on the second half of a fight. And even early rounds he breaths heavily after throwing few power punches.

 

When Joshua hits them, they are visibly shook to their boots. They seem to go into panic mode after been hit. It is very hard to gauge in his short career. However, the fight with kingpin Johnson (never been stopped) shows he has very good power.

Whereas, using stiverne and wilder fight as an example. The number of shots wilder hit him with there didn't seem to have an affect him, this may have been due to Wilder fighting on the back foot. I just couldn't envisage Joshua hitting Stiverne that much and Stiverne still standing.

Like i said, very difficult to gauge until Joshua fights a few more proven opposition.

 

The Michael Grant that faced Lewis in 2000 would have stopped the clown Prince just the same as Joshua did, but when he stepped up to Lewis he got taken apart, that is the level Joshua is at: C class. We don't know what happens when he's in front of a real fighter, just like Michael Grant who had much better wins than Joshua pre Lewis.

 

Many from fighters, sparring partners and to opposition coaches have stated his power is unrivaled.

I don't think it can be debated at this point that he is one of the biggest punchers in boxing history.

One punch from Wilder equals 4 or 5 clean power punches from Joshua.

Wilder has power beyond comprehension, Joshua just has very good power.

 

Wilder by a mile

 

Joshua's jab is more powerful than.
Wilder's right hand is harder than Joshua's jab. Joshua's right hand is harder than Wilder's right. Wilder's in step full body swing is more powerful than Joshua's cross. Joshua doesnt throw them like that...

 

Wilder sells out on his shots more and has a bit more speed and agility. That quick forward leap right hand drive through he does wrings about as much power out of his body as it's possible to get, and even with his lighter weight that's going to generate a hell of a lot of power. It's like a cricketer or baseball pitcher type of movement. All torque and whipping power with no thought of the repercussions, just trying to land it and hoping it does the job. Take a snapshot of him just prior to landing it and you'll see his legs spread far apart, his right arm pulled right back and his body opened up completely. Absolute garbage defensively, but crazy power.

Joshua has more technique and composure while throwing, because he's more of a combination puncher and is always looking to throw follow up shots and get back to his defensive stance. He's not looking to sell out on every shot because he knows he has enough heavy handedness to do the job, more often than not.

So one punch power: Wilder.

 

I've noticed Wilder can't really throw with too much power when in close, because he hasn't got the space or leverage to punch the way he can at long range. It's why I think any fighter than can smother him and trade with him on the inside is at an advantage.

 

Well he threw hard enough to stop Ortiz up close.

 

He can punch hard at close range, but nowhere near as hard as at long. And he's pretty useless at close combinations because of his terrible flappy technique and long gangly arms.
