    Easily, and no amount of delusion or denial can change that fact.

    39 KO. 40 Wins. Every man stopped.

    You may not think much of Wilder's skill but you must respect his power.​

    You didn't see him kick it up to kayo-ken x10 before hitting Ortiz with that wolf fang fist?

    hes got good power, most of it comes from loading em up around australia to deliver them in greenland. world class boxers arent suppose to allow him to load up like that, but hes fast and hes fighting slow guys.

    World class boxers are not capable/trained to absorb/block those unpredictable punches, usually punching at angles work with short reach guys example Prince Hamed or Ricardo Mayorga and to lesser extent Julian Jackson who was too one dimensional to be considered simply an awkward angle puncher.

    Deontay Wilder extra long reach makes him more awkward visually, but the speed makes the response time very short, also the extra long reach allows Wilder to provoke and initiate attacks whenever he wants war, which is all the time since King Wilder is on an imperial campaign to break the will of any man opposing him.

    Couldn't even keep 147 lbs Zelenoff down after hitting him flush plus hitting him when he was down. Very powerful,indeed.

    He's a very dangerous puncher and his long gangly arms and legs coupled with speed and agility to leap in from long range and whip his right hand down the pipe allow him to generate serious power. He needs space to wind up his shots though. Take that away from him and his power rapidly drops off.

    That's also why his combination punching kinda sucks. His long arms and crappy technique make him end up flapping with his arms, and because he puts everything into his shots he has too much momentum to throw rapid fire punches in bunches. Tyson could unleash three or four devastating shots in under a second because his body was like a tightly coiled spring and he didn't need to swing wildly with his punches to generate power.

    He also lacks heavy handedness due to his wiry frame and lack of body mass. He needs everything to be in alignment to produce power, while someone like Foreman could just touch you with poorly thrown arm punches and still do cumulative damage.

    Lots of power, then, but the means with which he generates it differ quite markedly from a number of other historically regarded punchers, and has its own strengths and weaknesses in a fight.
