    He's got skinny chicken legs, so where does he generate his so called power from?

    If you mean his power to avoid fighting someone decent then that comes from the WBC and pals at vada.

    It's like tying a knot in the end of a string and swinging wildly with it. It really stings when it hits.

    Ortiz fight falling through is a real shame because that was the acid test for his power...

    That's not to say his power is unproven but it would of really given it context.

    likewise if the breazele fight is made as it been assumed that would also tell us alot about his power

    He's rangy. Plus he's a heavyweight. He throws wild shots that he fully commits to and if it lands it has a lot of force behind it. If he misses...he misses badly. He gets good leverage on his punches much of the time. No one has yet to take advantage of him telegraphing his shots but a good counter puncher will

    Its not the power per se. But he swings his long arms and often lands behind the ears.

    Thats the answer right there.

    It’s centrifugal force, like swinging a softball in a sock.

    He can’t generate the same power delivering straight punches from a solid stance he has to step back and swing which he gets away with against the poor quality he’s faced. If he swings wide and opens himself up like that against a quality fighter he’ll be asleep on the canvass before his own punch gets halfway there.

    Most fighters if they commit from the back of the arena with a shot can generate power, but them shots are dangerous when your fighting competent opponents as you say..Most properly trained fighters know this so wouldn't be so stupid. Hes also far rangier than little fellas so can take the risk more..Its a **** up waiting to happen !

    Wilder has the ability to turn the vast amount of rubbish he speaks into energy to boost his strength.

    You can always tell when wilder is about to fight as he talks a lot of rubbish before hand to gain an advantage

    The guy has had nearly 40!! Fights and Stiverne is still his best win by some way.
    Everyone else is a past it or never was and what happed when he fought Stiverne - it went the distance. With BS being so inactive I can see him getting the stoppage this time around but is sad that he won't fight anyone with a pulse. Yes he's been unlucky with drugs pull outs but even when the Ortiz fight was announced it was more than a rumor that Ortiz had already been busted - it almost like it was planned. "Look who we are fighting" - "oooh that's unlucky for us we cant fight now - what a same". Really, team Wilder were like "thank f** that fell through"

    Skinny legs doesn't negate power. Lanky fighters can have amazing power.

    Wilder generates his power pre fight. On fight week he performs a ritual. He sets something that resembles his opponent on fire, reptile figurines, Worms, piñatas, price is right memorabilia etc etc
