In their prime, does Deontay Wilder hit harder than Mike Tyson?

His right hand is probably more powerful than any of Tyson's singular shots, but overall he isn't half the puncher.

 

Iron Mike overall delivers more damage. His vicious power was combined with amazing technique, accuracy and workrate.
Wilder packs a stronger one punch probably.

 

No. Iron Mike was on another level of punching power.

Plus he didn't load his gloves.

 

Impossible to judge because while Tyson was punching World Champions and genuine contenders Wilder was punching journeymen and white collar boxers

 

Wilder in terms of single punching power with his right. Tyson though had power in both hands and was using it against much better fighters. For me, Tyson is levels above Wilder in terms of punching ability and overall power.

 

This! It was Tyson's speed, combination punching and finishing ability that made him so deadly. Shot for shot however, I'm taking Wilder's single right hand.

 

Single shot? Yes, definitely. By a good margin I would say.
