    Wilder is a massive puncher. Wilder is not a class puncher.
    Wilder is in quite a weak era. McCall was in quite a strong era.
    McCall on points.

    Fatverne was in great shape for that one. :lol: McCall would wipe the floor with both those bums in the same week.

    Your point was who has kod Ortiz? My point is he has only faced ONE top puncher and got ko'd! Therefore we don't know how good his chin is!

    I think it's safe to say his chin is very decent seeing the shots he took from Wilder, plenty of Wilder's opponents have been rendered unconscious from such punches.

    Of course Wilder has devastating power. He wouldn't have gotten 39 knockouts in 40 fights without it haha! I just disagree that he has power light years over the greatest and hardest punchers to lace up the gloves. His resume is full of cans and it took him to the 10th round to knockout Luis Ortiz who, unfortunately, hasn't fought anyone that is a threat in the division in terms of punching ability. It would be much easier to believe Wilder has unheard of punching ability if he had knocked Ortiz cold in the first half of the fight. Or at least knocked him out in the first half of the fight.

    Without being rude i don't think you know how the game works. Fighter A doesn't necessarily hit harder than Fighter B because he got Fighter C out of there quicker, it just doesn't work like that.

    Of course but it does factor in to a certain extent. Especially if we're talking about previously unheard of power. I mean from what you're saying Ortiz had never felt any type of power even close to Wilder before. From the way he reacted to punches it didn't look like that.

    You mean the way his legs gave away after doing a funny dance? You want me to post clips of opponents asleep and convulsing to remind you how hard Wilder hits?

    So then you're admitting that Ortiz wasn't able to take his power?

    Obviously he wasn't hence the stoppage, i doubt McCall could as well.
