    it was just a great timed punch right on the button that dom didnt see coming. it doesn't prove he is the hardest punch.
    joshua knocked a punchbag from the ceilnig last week (people said it wasnt put up correctly) but you could use the same logics.
    dom got to his feet and wasnt cleaned out.

    i think people are getting a head of themselves.

    however neither's power is overrated. both are heavy hitters, it clear in their stoppages

    Silly thread.
    It took Wilder 9 rounds with Molina, 11 rounds to stop Duhaupas, 9 rounds to stop Szpilka, 8 rounds to stop Arreola, 10 rounds to stop Ortiz
    But I dont think he is feather fisted at all
    All fights can go differently

    Wilder can definitely punch but I dont think Breazeale was as durable as he has been and also people get very mislead with where fighters are in their careers.
    When Joshua fought Breazeale he was a fighter with only 16 fights and one title fight, so little experience and in his first defence.
    When Wilder fought Breazeale he was a fighter with 41 fights which is alot of experience and having had 10 title fights.

    I do agree that Wilder is faster and catches fighters with shots they dont see

    Joshua is extremely powerful, he just doesn't have freakish other worldly power like Wilder has. You don't need to like Wilder to appreciate that btw.

    They have 3 common opponent's. Joshua stopped two quicker than Wilder.

    Breazeale is dire.. & had only fought once since 2017 for this fight... He put up & presented us with the worst display from a title challenger I've seen in years.. Lazy , flat footed zombie with zero athleticism..
