Hearns displayed more one punch power than Tyson, Tyson didn`t knock out anybody as good as Shuler with one shot in his respective weight class.
AJ has more options & less confidence. Deontay Wilder ego-grandiosity is built on his Right hand, the greatest 40+ moments of Deontay Wilder life is those 40+ times he inflicted trauma upon his opponents, his CNS reward system is wired on that. Wilder will only become a harder puncher, as long as he doesn't lose the speed advantage he has over all the other heavyweights
I don't think he is fastest HW elite boxer now. Yeah, he is highly mobile but his hands aren't faster than Ruiz's hands at all and he doesn't hit harder at all. Ruiz is slow on feet and this together with short reach for modern HW makes him a lot of serious cons. Remains pros: hand speed and ofc skills. Wilder should turn into 2 handed boxer at first. Then why not, he might improve and why not to KO ppl with combos, both hands etc. He is too one dimensional, too predicatable. Otherwise: good reach, pretty mobile, not slow. He looks is willing to fight, why not to forgive him his kiddish excuse about costume?
I stand corrected I should have been more elaborate, he is the fastest of the 6'6"+ guys, lots of smaller heavyweights are much faster, but their PSI is lower due to being shorter. Smaller framed guys have no chance to survive Wilder, usually smaller guys win by being the more-confident resilient types...Deontay Wilder knows he can thumb anybody his self-belief makes it impossible to Andy-Ruiz him, the shorter opponents will have no where to hide from Wilder long range right hands, one of those right hands end the fight. Wilder problem is opponents who can protect themselves by using their range advantage (Fury & possibly Yoka in the future)
I'm not sure, if you're serious - or simply trolling us! You have 147lbs Hearns at 1100 psi, and 160lbs Berlanger at 1050 psi - and at the same time no version of Tyson can score above 1000 on a psi machine? This is utterly bizzare!
Might have. They doesn't need to hide, they should make him miss first long range shots and then close distance and not to allow him use his reach and distance fight mode. Clinch him, fight in close range, also counterpunch him is great option. Fury is better in clinch at first. Wilder loves to use, sorry, 1 hand and likes to punch not to clinch people. He should learn to use both hands, use combos and also to clinch ppl at least a bit. More versatile Wilder might be considerably more unpredictable and difficult fighter to fight with. And he might damage also with his not leading hand and use combos etc. He looks that just had too easy fights, then get too comfortable to be 1 handed and simple boxer. Maybe he will improve?
They always make him miss and plenty of times outbox him, until the Game Changer punch lands. Deontay Wilder career was solely based of his right hand, his opponents did everything correctly until they were caught by any 50% impact punch. That has enough psi to shutdown any CNS, Fury got pushed the limit and decided to risk an all-out-attack in the rematch, because he knew he can't fight a perfect safe fight for 12 rounds. Fury reach advantage allowed him to hit Wilder first with power shots for 7 rounds, no other heavyweight can do that to Wilder, no other heavyweight can survive that version of Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury will probably never take that risk again & just outbox everybody he faces, including Anthony Joshua, if Joshua drops Fury making it a close fight....Fury will repeat the feat and KO Anthony Joshua Tsyon Fury frame-agility (for his size) is his main advantage, allowing him to keep threats at bay...even play around and cruise when he wants & attack whenever he feels has to score a KO. Deontay Wilder Range-Speed is his advantage, it worked versus everybody except Fury because he lost the range advantage. In Any future fight vs Fury, Deontay Willder will have to open up much faster at a higher output, come at peak stamina, train to punch through the clinches and force a KO.
Wrong solution to fight with power puncher till decision after 12 rounds if he isn't slow. The boxer should counterpunch him in course of first missed shot or soon after this. Preferably during punch execution moment when he still is moving his body and punching. Close range and fight to get stoppage. One from flowcharts: Gassiev vs Dorticos and Dorticos is more skilled than Wilder, yeah, smaller size and less reach but he is attempting to use combos, both hands etc. Gassiev catched him with one from his body blows and capitalised effect enough quickly. No, they usually attempted to win him on cards not to go for mandatory finish ASAP. Wilder and Fury aren't stuff like prime Foreman and still he is tough lad, willing to fight and not fear to take a punch at all.
I'm not sure. Fury does see that most effective A.J was in fight like Ruiz II fight. And A.J likes to box not to clinch ppl and maul them. Fury is larger and heavier than A.J and he might attempt to establish hold for example, his arms are enough long, as you had noticed, Wilder didn't had vs him reach advantage. A.J too will not have reach advantage. Based on previous fights, Fury ofc does have some chance to outbox till decision A.J but why not to use a bit size and weight advantage combined to fight with A.J in clinch etc solutions? To tire opponent who is more boxer than boxer - clincher?
There is thing: it is more dangerous to close distance with ppl not having reach advantage than with ppl relying on distance and movement ( like A.J, Wilder ). Fury too is relying on movement a lot and on distance usage, he does have one pros to get closer: him likes clinch and hold ppl more than for typical outboxers. Close distance vs Ruiz looks not smart solution because shorter hands later feel disatvantage when distance there is closer than long hands. Long hands does have their advantage and this is long- middle distance. Ok, another style and different fighters, still Tyson from 1984-1988 is good example how smaller fighter might use this for his advantage.
Its very simple, psi machines are not hard to find. psi is strictly [Height-Reach x Speed], excess weight can only lower the psi (if its extra weight that drops the speed) 6'01" Faster Welter will score higher psi than a 5'11" Cruiser Mike Tyson was a ferocious boxer, with an impregnable defense, impetuous style...not a raw puncher. Similar to Tank Davis and Hamed, they score KOs but they have low psi scores for their division, their KOs were the result of punch placement not raw power.
I'd argue that it's more a case of ' complete and utter bollocks' as opposed to it being made up data
Just to make sure, that I fully understand what you mean: psi is an actual number, which tells us what force/energy a punch (or something else) transfers to the psi machine, at the moment of impact. Am I right about that? Now according to you, this number is a direct function of Height-Reach-Speed. For most boxers, we already know their height and reach - but not the speed of their punches, at the moment of impact. You say, this can be easily measured, if we have quality footage - as we simply slow it down and look at it frame by frame. Is this something you have actually done, with the boxers in your opening post... or are you simply guessing? As for Mike Tyson, his hand-speed was phenomenal for a man of his size! From what I've seen, I'm not even sure Berlanga throws faster punches, even though much lighter. Yet you have Berlanger at 1050 psi, while no version of Tyson could ever get above 1000 (in your opinion), because of his body type! Sorry, but this simply makes no sense. I wonder, what psi you would give this 6'7" stringbean of a junior middleweight, with an 80" reach: Fundora vs Clark Full Fight: August 31, 2019 - PBC on FOX - YouTube
