    Only in his dreams is Deontay Wilder the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time.
    Wilder doesn’t know how to use what power he has, and, he has fought the worse competition in history - if you want the hardest hitting heavyweight in history, you need to find someone who actually faced some good fighters, and whose power is whispered of in awe!

    Exactly...the peak of Human evolution, at 1350 psi, with basic boxing skills, he was able to flatten the world of boxing & equal Muhammad Ali title reign.

    He is not done yet...The Hypersonic Right hand will catch his enemies when they least expect it...everything will change immediately, Deontay Wilder regains his crown and his legacy is cemented forever, like all great emperors...millions of peasants will love him and million of peasants will hate him.

    He is one right hand away from taking everything back. We all know that...

    Joyce too maybe..Great chin and pressure and if he looked to mix in a bit of mauling it have Wilder tired and weary by the 6th. There’s a chance Wilder can land with his right hand, I think Joyce can take it though

    He posseses possibly the most powerful weapon ever seen the heavyweight division. But he cant box.

    This always kinda kept me up at night because Imagine if wilder had world class skills ? How good would he be ? He's considered a top 10 just by his power and low level amateur boxing skills. Imagine if he was as technically sound as Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury or Joseph Parker. Hell even Daniel Dubois.

    **** is scary to think about

    Thanks for opening your eyes...Now i'm glad that you can understand that he wouldn't make a pimple on the Ass amongst the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time....and that's a pleasure tbh.

    Povetkin probably edges him as nr 3 imo. His win over Whyte is probably better than any win Wilder has.

    I’ve seen you call AJ glass chinned before but he’s never been out cold either despite taking harder punches from more powerful guys than Wilder. Which is it? Wilder isn’t weak chinned but his legs go when he’s caught clean even when it’s not that hard a shot. He recuperates within 10 seconds but his legs do go and that can’t be denied.

    This is getting very close to true if he stays inactive. If Whyte hadn't gotten devastated by Povetkin it might already be true.

    If he's done or close to it he should be remembered for breathing some life into HW boxing in the US. He stayed active and never lost to a lesser opponent, there are very few HWs with 40+ fights who can say that.

    It was awful before he arrived. Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne were fighting for a belt. He did raise the level considerably and has been legitimately top 3 for years.

    Did you just say Wilder doesn't know how to use his power? That's his single greatest skill...

    The biggest problems I have with Wilder are; he has a mouth and a dangerous tendency to open it without thinking first. He is quite literally the most cringe worthy Ponce I can ever recall in Boxing, the whispering threats, the excuses, the 'I want a body on my record!' BS, the constant drivel he comes out with, the disrespecting of past ATG's like Iron Mike who, in his prime would have rendered Wilder unconscious within two rounds.

    And then theres his delusional online fans that made more attempts to destroy the legitimacy of Tyson Furys win than Trump did to 'Stop The Steal'.

    Wilder is an embarrassment and he's fast running out of time to turn that around.

    Joyce is an animal

    His chin is the best in the division

    Here's the thing, I don't he can get much better. He's about to be 36, He's been boxing quite a while now and still has the the same vulnerabilities. He lost to Fury the SAME way he lost in the Amateurs, you pressure him, he folds
