Deontay Wilder, the most powerful human in history?

Accurate thread. Only time Wilder couldn't ko someone was when he had a broken hand.

 

Only time Wilder couldn't ko someone was when his opponent was not a total bum.

 

Yes, he is indeed the most powerful man.

 

In Alabama?

 

We just have to accept the fact that Wilder is the most powerful puncher in human history. That right hand can knock out an elephant if it's 100% healed.

 

Sure except Wilder could not knock down Duhaupuas, the Frenchman finished the fight on his feet who was brutally KTFO by Povetkin.

 

I always feel when assessing the power of a fighter we should look at how it affected the best name on a boxer's resume, and power that can take care of Charlie Zelenoff shouldn't be under-estimated...

 

Wilder beat him up brutally and softened him up for Pedvetkin while Duha was vacationing with his family for the holidays on 27 minutes notice.

If anything that fight should be a no contest.

 

While juiced to his eyeballs on God knows what. Such a proud achievement.

 

At least Povetkin allowed himself to be tested by VADA unlike Haymon's most fighters that avoid VADA testing like the plague. Suspicious.

 

You might be onto something Eltirado. We tried to tell the public for a long time now, no one listened to us .

 

Wilder's power is overrated. Joshua, Helenius etc has more force and weight behind their punches.

What makes Wilders punches so effective is that he commits to them, and he aims (and lands) flush on the cerebelum balance centre behind the ears. Thats because of the combined effect of commitment, speed, reach height and accuracy. That's is the underrated factors in the KO percentage.
