Better right hand: Wladimir Klitschko or Deontay Wilder

Wilder, and I'm not the only one who thinks so:

Possibly Wilder, for pure explosive power, but possibly not even in that way. Overall, in terms of better technical punch, more effective punch whenever it's thrown? That's not close. Klitschko will win that every time. It's laser-guided.

 

Wilder's hit harder, but Wlad threw better right hands.

 

Jeez, did anyone have a harder right than Deontay? I'm not sure even Shavers did.

 

Accuracy, delivery and skill in setting up = Wlad

Pure, raw power = Wilder

 

Power aside, they're in completely different realms of ability in punching.

In 20 years time, I'm virtually certain that history will not be kind to Wilder's skillset or résumé and people will see past the power - had he been around for Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe and Lewis, he would've been a sacrificial lamb, I'm sure.

 

You can not give Wilder an edge considering the level of opposition he fought.

 

This is the one and only true answer.

 

I think that this is about right. Wilder threw the kitchen sink into his shots whereas Wlad always made sure that he retained his stance and balance. That's the difference between a decade of dominance and 5 years of hype

 

Wlad's right is more "educated", with that being said, I'd rather have Wilder's right hand.
