    Wilder had 4 chances to knock out a world title holder and failed every time.

    If you apply the same logic to Tyson then it's obviously not him either.

    In terms of how hard you hit it, yes it is. Wilder's rEsUme is totally irrelevant to this topic.

    Wilder literally has a hand made of steel.

    As in, he has had surgery and put iron rods in his hand. And it's on google. No wonder people think he hits like he's holding a brick. He is..

    Regarding combination punching Joe Louis and Mike Tyson hit the hardest for me with either hand.

    For single hardest punch it has to be Shavers, Wilder.

    So dominant he didn't give other people the chance to be great. Who would you like him to have fought in his era? He KO'd everyone at the time

    When Foreman punched people solid and they didn't fall, they pure shock on their faces was telling. It was clear that never have been hit that and could never imagined being hit that hard.

    No no, you tell me who was around to KO that he didn't, children are the ones that resort to random name calling, are you joking

    This. Plus I’m gonna go with what both legendary trainers Steward and Roach said about Wlad. “He hits harder than anybody I’ve trained.” And that’s saying ALOT coming from those two.

    When Wlad completely sat on his right cross… unmatched impact. Plus he had the hand speed and 81 inch leverage to go with the strength.

    Making a poll with 10 choices for the hardest hitting HW of all-time but not including Wilder as an option is pointless.
