    No.

    Wilder has been knocking out cans. We can revisit this when (more like if) he ever fights and knocks out a world class opponent.

    Look at Wilder's technique. If he hit hard, would he have to telegraph his punches from 100 feet away? Would he have to use schoolyard bully foot work if he had proper punching power, based on upper quad and hip torque? Wilder can get away with amateurish technique because he fights tomato cans who don't counter him.

    Look at Mike's punching technique. This is picture book technique, heck even better than in the books. Tyson defined punching technique. Tyson's footwork is legendary. Tyson employed head movement while ON THE ATTACK FFS! That's how he avoided getting countered. Compare that to Wilder's circus style windmill attacks.

    Exactly. Wilder only hits hard because he has ludicrous gangly arms and winds up like crazy. It's not useful power in a boxing sense unless you're fighting absolutely static puddings or guys with glass jaws.

    And he still doesn't punch as hard as Tyson.

    Everyone here knows that Wilder wants joshua, but his scared shook ass started talking about 2019-2020. And he didn't beat Wlad, he beat an old man. Tell that ***** to fight Wilder. Scared, shook ass.

    Tyson hit harder.
    Wilder's fists are good for squashing tomatoes

    He should work in a ketchup factory

    Just no. Tyson's vicious uppercuts would quickly decapitate the special needs teacher and pastry chef that Windmill really struggled with.

    Wilder needs space to generate his power.

    Tyson didnt.

    Who would you rather fight in a street fight?
