    Wilder has claimed he is the hardest puncher of all-time so I was going to compare his power to Mike`s but that`s been done before so I`ve put Tyson`s name and the three hardest punchers Mike fought, does Wilder punch harder than these four?

    Ortiz was better than anybody Ruddock, Smith or Bruno ever knocked out.

    David Tua may have punched harder.

    Prime Tyson hit harder. Many of his opponents didnt have brain damages thanks to their guardian angels imo.

    There is no way to tell exactly. He might. He might not. If he continues to deliver one punch knockouts, the will be made.

    I get the feeling that all this business of doubting Wilder's power comes from people hoping his power is over-hyped. Fans of other HWs.

    I personally have no doubt his power is real. Now, to me, the real question is can he deliver that power against the highest quality opponents?

    This next fight against Fury will be telling.
