Tyson Fury: "Wilder ain't the best puncher I faced"

Wilder is the most explosive heavyweight by far

He's not a Foreman Shavers thudding puncher. These types of punches rock & resonate your whole body.

This is why he KO's bum ass heavyweights who stand in front of him or plod onto him, they don't see it coming. Ortiz would have got the job done if he wasn't 50 years old unable to go 12 rounds solid. After 8 rounds Ortiz slows heavily and can't recover from the stingers Wilder lands.

Also take note that many punches Wilder has hurt his opponent with are palm strikes and forearm strikes to the side of the head. Very painful.

Charlie Z saw them punches coming so took them like a champ.

I'd rather get hit by a punch from Wilder that I can see coming than a Wladimir or AJ thudding steelhammer.

And if Wilder misses he falls over anyway so it's win win.

Fury is different to all of them. For his size he doesn't hit that hard but he comes at you all night long and works you over. Stamina and the natural size can't be overcome.

AJ will face the same fate as Wilder. Brutalization from Fury who is more of a yeti than a man.

 

Wilder has yet to KO a top 10 Ring Magazine rated contender in his prime. Who did he knock out? Yes--Wlad his harder that Wilder. He just didn't milk his belts with no names catching a plane to cash a check and get knocked out

 

Big John Mcdermott or Neven Pakjic.

 

pakjic caught tyson a cracker and he was pillow fisted too. Good pub brawl that one

 

Did he not? Who did he beat or knock out that was of any note?

 

Yes, Wlad punches harder than Wilder, but Wilder is more dangerous due to his recklessness.

 

He never took a big shot from Wlad although he defo would have in a rematch.

 

Fury never really took a good punch from Wlad, so he can't really comment.

And yeah, Wlad's resume is better than Wilder's. But Wlad reigned for a decade -- his resume is one of the best ever. Better than AJ's and Fury's too.

 

I reckon he took one right hand in the 10-12 round

 

Oh, Fury absolutely did take some hits, but they weren't the clean, flush hits that earned Wlad his KO % and decade-long reign.

Fury took one of Wilder's famed KO punches, but he never got an equivalent punch from Wlad.

 

Fury was dropped by a Bosnian Cab Driver in Pajkic and Cruiserweight Cunningham and wobbled all over the place by assorted cherry picked unknown guys they found at the Homeless Shelter!!

 

Price in the amateurs. He was only 17.

 

I,ve been saying that for ages. Wilder defo is not the hardest hitter of all time. He gets most of his knockouts with his tactics more than his power. Smaller reached opponent has to follow him round. They need to take the risk of closing the gap on him not really knowing when he,ll strike. Its the uncertainty and not seeing the punch that causes most of them. That and his level of competition/fighting guys tailor made for him.

Wilder hits hard. I still say klitchko hit harder tho. Its just that they use their power for different things. Wlad to control the opponent wilder to put their lights out. Pretty sure if wlad changed his style to just knock out guys...he,d have probably wiped out all of wilders list by k/o as well.

 

He fought both and beat both. So I'm take his word for it. Some fighters say that the fighter that they beat punches harder than the guy they lost to. Fury has no reason to lie.

Wlad fought better fighters in a more disciplined matter and had more tools to win instead of Wilder who lack Wlad's skills and just looked for the knockout.

So if you fight weak opposition and just look for the big punch you will look like the bigger puncher.
