    Do you think Wilders 1 punch KO power is the all time greatest?

    you cannot link a fighter who has consistently avoided the sport's biggest challenges with anything ATG, in any way, shape or form

    Ali Raymi, But heavyweight?


    Shavers
    Marciano
    Foreman
    Louis.

    These guys have knocked out or down better fighters than Deonkey will ever fight.

    Throw Wlad in there too while you're at it

    Wilder has never fought a legit fighter in his entire career. He is a fraud! Parker would have knocked out all of Wilder's opponents and Joshua would have also, in fact, Joshua has stopped the same fighters Wilder has, but faster and more impressive! Wilder will not fight Parker, would not fight an old Vlad, would not fight Whyte, Miller, Ruiz, Ortiz, Povetkin, Takam, etc.. I would pick Sirenko to knock Wilder out. He has more power than Wilder. Wilder has to wind up a mile away from his opponent to get any power, that's why he fights winos from the alley!

    As an over-all Puncher he is possibly the Hardest Puncher to walk earth, One Punch? Not sure, because Any Heavyweight can land the 1 Perfect Punch, some are just poorly conditioned.

    Wilder has the range, Fast Twitch Speed, relatively light frame that can operate at full speed till the later Rounds, so he is wired to be a deadly Puncher. Add in more accuracy as he is improving with every fight & he is the hardest Puncher to ever walk earth...

    No......is this a vague attempt at trolling cuz.....if so, it's a bit lame. I would rank Lennox Lewis, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Earnie Shavers, Wladimir Klitscko, Joe Louis, David Tua and Frank Bruno to all hit harder than the human/windmill hybrid as they don't have to wind up punches from their boots to generate power, are far more technically proficient, and have knocked out a vastly superior class of opponent.

    As far as I'm concerned, Deonkey 'the human/windmill hybrid' Windmiller is barely a step up from Michael Grant and will be found out soon enough, that is of course if he fights a genuine threat anytime soon.

    No as above his daft sloppy technique only looks good against poor calibre opposition. There is prob 50 better HW punchers than him. His wind up starts in the dressing room

    Well, since others knocked out Molina, Duhaupas and Szpilka more quickly, and he couldn't stop Stiverne at all in the first fight, I would say his power is just a bit above averge. About the same as Tyson Fury.

    Lets look at how well Wilder has dispatched his recent opponents

    Stiverne in the first fight which was the best and closer to prime Stiverne went 12 rounds but was KO'ed by King in 4 rounds.

    Wilder took 9 rounds to stop Molina who was crushed in 3 rounds by AJ and 1 round by Arreola

    Duhaupas went 11 rounds with Wilder, but was KO'ed in 6 by Povetkin

    Szpilka went 9 rounds with Wilder but was brushed aside in 4 by Kownacki

    Arreola retired after 8 rounds against Wilder but KO'ed by Stiverne in 6 rounds.

    Gavern retired after 4 rounds with Wilder but KO'ed in 3 by Joshua, Browne and Zhang and Mansour in 1 round.

    Think I'm seeing a trend here lol. In fact only fighter he stopped quicker and more impressively was Washington who went 8 rounds with a 300lbs Miller.

    Good job but you forgot Molina who was KOd in one by both Arreola, and the legendary Ashanti Jordan.

    Wilder has a bit above average power which has been dramatically hyped.

    Yes, it is easy to knock out winos, but legit fighters? Not so easy.....................we really don't know how hard Wilder hits..............he is afraid of legit fighters for sure...............so we will probably never know.................fighting winos who can't punch back, are not a threat at all, well, that's easy...............I think Joshua is better than Sconiers and Nichols or anyone Wilder has ever fought. Vlad knocked Wilder down with a jab, flattened him with a left hook, beat him from one side of the ring to the other, and it has been witnessed..................

    What do you think of the theory that Wilder's seemingly godly power is a result of his lack of conventional technique?

    Not saying I am convinced one way or the other but it could be he is devastating his opponents by selling out on his shots, putting everything into his money shot KO strikes?

    ----

    We probably need to see him up against more formidable apposition before we anoint him but so far it cannot be denied he is making a case for consideration. The guy is an embarrassment to himself with his antics but mother of god can he crack!
