    Could Wlad throw a harder punch than the right hand that blew Breazale away for instance?

    No. Neither does Vitali.

    Punched hard enough to put your hero’s lights out twice in sparring ;) Deontey says Wlad hits really hard.

    As to the power of the straight hand and the hook the best Klitschko for me was powerful like Wilder..the question is that Wilder also can throw terrific overhands, shots that Klitschko used few times.

    Yes. His left hook that ironed out Pulev proves it

    Yes he did. When he really sat on his shots Wlad hit harder in my opinion. Watch the Mercer and Byrd 2 fights and listen to the sound and the way he moved those guys. Different power.

    He could probably throw a proper punch harder than wilder. A straight right or left hook.

    But wilders run across the ring and wind one up like a drunk hitting a punch machine on a night out after a curry type punch.

    No he can't match that

    Wlad had effortless power. Wilder throws his entire body into it (hence why he looks like he is swatting mosquitos at a BBQ half the time).

    Wlad's punches looked picture perfect. Wilder's are often throw cross legged.

    But hey, whatever works though.

    He was just stopped by a pro journeyman......blitzed by a flash in the pan fat Golfer who never ever won a meaningful fight beside that......ko'ed by a walking Heavybag in Brewster.....I like this game.

    Why does it matter? Both have/had one shot KO power. Wilder's raw power is prob greater but what does that matter to the guy who'd just been laid out cold?

    Wlad punched very hard, like its been said, it was effortlessly there, Wilder punches hard but he winds them up..They are poles apart really, if Wilder fought better comp this would be exploited..Usyk is going to have a field day with these boys that are current now, Wilder, Fury, Joshua etc, they are all bang average

    He was stopped coz he was tired. Had he paced himself better he would've won.
    I assume you mean Sanders? He'd do that to Wilder and we both know it.
    Brewster definitely hit harder than some of the blokes who hurt Wilder.

    Wilder has been hurt very badly by Ortiz
    Wilder was stumbled and clearly hurt by Molina
    Wilder was stumbled and hurt vs Spzilka
    Wilder was hurt by Duhaupas
    Wilder was dropped by Sconiers...

    His chin is pathetic. He's a nuclear powered brawler with a big heart. He's got no ring IQ, no defence, a poor chin and 2 punches.
    Still like this game?

    1. Wilder was NEVER stopped and Klit got beaten up to a pulp, not because he was tired. He never avenged that loss either, he needed Vitali to do that for him. That was a legitimate loss and everyone knows it. Wilder would smoke guys like Ross Purity 10/10 times.

    2. No he wouldn't, Wilder KO5 Sanders.

    3. Wlad has been dropped, stopped and damaged WAYYY more than Wilder

    He beat all those men you mentioned, and he was never hurt by Duhaupas. He also was never legitimately dropped by Scorniers. I have the vid, I know what happened.

    He has one of the best chins in boxing today and he shattered Fury's glass. He has VERY good defense, very good ring iq, a great chin and many punches.
