Mike Tyson hits harder than Wilder

Deontay Wilder has longer arms than Tyson for that reason he does not have to enter the guard of his opponent to be able to hit them he does it from long distance at ease so he can connect the blow in a blunt way it is as if he was hitting a punching bag you can hit harder that way than enter the guard and throw blows at close range

 

Who actually stayed on the canvas who they fought would answer this simple debate.

Its not even close , If Wilder was this killer in the ring most wouldn't be able to get up and that's realistically not the case and when you add qualities guys it further shows you M.Tyson hits harder ,go watch Botha and Mathis knockouts those are true lights out abilities. Those are just 2 . Wilder knocked Szpilka , ( so did Chisora and Jennings ) and Lachovich and ???? Worth mentioning ,im not counting 2 years out of ring Stiverne who is not a top fighter in that rematch .

I'll give Wilder a pass on Breazeale since hes a difficult guy to knockout ( he couldn't get up from AJ ) and almost beat the 10 count.

Wilder can punch for sure but if he cant have guys stay down then how is he a killer ? M.Tyson was a brutal puncher ,ask Spinks , Holmes and Bruno who always got knocked out bc of stamina but against Tyson got wrecked twice early . These stoppages are far more impressive even if you think its bc of combination punching,a knockout artist doesn't limit it to PER punch...the knockout king is M. Tyson here.

 

Plenty of Tyson's opponents could have gotten up but chose not to. The list of fighters he's actually put to sleep is actually pretty thin

 

Like who ? Haha Stop ..another Wilder fanatic who doesn't know what hes talking about. let me guess eye ball rolled up into the top of his head Spinks maybe ?

 

Szpilka didn't get ko'd like that from anyone else, and Liakhovich literally had a seizure, that's serious power. It took AJ 7 rounds of beating Brezeale to put him down for good, which was also a TKO (Which meant the referee stopped it) but took Wilder 1 round with a KO, Wilder obviously has the edge here.

They both have different power, Wilder has that 1 punch and send you to the shadow realm. Tyson has explosive power that stagger and stun you like crazy.
Look at the KO percentages
Wilder: 97%
Tyson: 76%

Stats don't lie

 

I'm a big Tyson fan actually and unlike you am actually old enough to have an opinion that isn't based off of YouTube clips. I like watching Wilder but I wouldnt call myself a fantatic of any current boxer. Is this how you approach every discussion by trying to tell the other person what they think and how stupid they are before you even hear them out? Jesus get a grip

 

Stats do lie, all the time. Did you know that 100% of people who drink water will die?

Especially in boxing, where so much is subjective, and the level of your competition affects all of your stats.

 

It is an interesting topic as I believe Wilder is coming into his prime now which makes some forget that he struggled with some D level opponents like Molina, Spilka, Daupas and it took him time to stop a shot Arreola.

 

KO percentages don't mean anything if you are knocking out tomato cans.
Arreola already stated that Vitaly hit harder than Wilder and Danny Williams said Mike Tyson hit harder than Vitaly.
Mike Tyson was a much harder puncher.

 

That stat is true though lol

 

It is true, yet misleading. Just like a high KO % against bad to mediocre competition does too.

 

It's just hard to gauge for me, because Tyson was a great puncher, but he did throw in a lot of combinations... He is a better puncher in the sense of he has great hooks, great uppercuts, great counter punching....but Wilder only needs 1 punch, Mike needed a few. I mean Breazeale has a great chin, but **** me, he got absolutely wrecked by that 1 punch. Tyson will drop you hard, and then follow up. This will be easier to compare when their careers are over. Just enjoy the knockouts lads, they getting better every year

 

But for comparisons sake, Lewis and Morrison both got Ruddock out of there faster than Tyson, and I personally don't believe they were harder hitters than Tyson..... I go off what I see, and we all seen that Ortiz didn't know where he was after literally 1 punch...and he isn't mediocre is he

 

C'mon on the KO percentages look @ who both guys faced in the ring Tyson did not fight cherry picked boxers.
