    A lot of people say Wilder's right hand didn't really come into its own until he hit puberty. Now it's unbelievably stronger than his left hand.

    That makes little sense given that power is literally the combination of strength and speed.

    It sounds like he takes his pull out game seriously as well even has the towel ready so he’s always working it.

    You heard it here first, folks.

    Usyk punches harder than Wilder.

    And the local village idiot gave the post a like. :lol:

    He may punch harder than Wilder in 2026.

    What impressive feat of power did Usyk show in 2026 that suggests that?

    He didn't show any "impressive feat of power". He showed some power f.e. knocking out DDD in 2025, which is better than Wilder not being able to get rid of Herndon in 7 rounds and Chisora in 12.

    I don't think DDD is the best example given his track record. Herndon was also clearly a tune up with Wilder using the rounds to shake off ring rust.

    Usyk hasn't really fought enough heavyweights for us to have a clear gauge of his power yet.

    All I'm sayig is, Usyk looked more menacing that Wilder as of late.

    He had devastating power when he fought journeyman. His power was respectable against top foes - that's all, just respectable

    This. His power was respectable but never more than that. All media hype.

    He also wasnt as powerful as hyped. Couple of KDs against Fury otherwise never dented a meaningful opponent

    He's only ever stopped two heavyweights out of six.

    Don't get me wrong I think Usyk's power is a bit underrated, but he's not exactly a power puncher.
