I want your opinions, Whyte's left hook vs Wilder's right hand

Wilder's right hand has ALMOST finished everyone he has ever faced, so I definitely vote for his right hand!

Fighters look like they have seizures following his shot

Don't get me wrong, Whyte has a peach of a left hook and his knockout of Chisora was scary as f**k!

However, it's difficult to argue anyone currently fighting having harder one punch power than Deontay!

Also how much power did Whyte gain from his drugs??

 

Wilder's right hand fist wound turn Whyte into vapor. Thats all you need to know

 

Like I mentioned, Chisora had put a lot more rounds and more work in against Whyte so his body was struggling already. Would explain why the recovery process took longer. Doesn't take anything away from the KO but explains that a little

 

I think its debatable between 5 punches:

Wilders right : KOed more people consistntly, granted against the low level opponents. Wilder best Ko punch to date Knocking out the chinny Spzilka out cold. We will have a better idea of Wilders power when or if he ever fights the top guys in the divison.

Whyte left hook: only KOed two notable opponents in Browne (similar level to majority of Wilders opposition) and Chisora (much tougher opponent than wilder has Knocked out cold). Also dropped granite chin Parker.

Chisora over hand right: Koed granite chinned Takam and chinny Spzilka (a lot quicker than Wilder did).

AJ uppercut: more of a combination puncher than the above single punch boxers but his uppecut Knocked Whyte cold out and it was the punch that led to Wlad's demise.

Povetkin left hook: again like AJ more of an effective combination puncher and probably has the best all round power punching be it his left hook, right or uppercutt.
Left hook: Knock out cold granite jawed Takam and Duhaupas. Also Koed chinny Price.
Right: Ko'ed Charr, dropped Perez (which shortly stopped after).

 

I'd lean towards Wilder right now, but I don't think it's quite so cut and dry as all that.

Wilder's right is the much more dangerous punch, but that's as much down to his mechanics and fighting style than it is to the raw power of the shot. Simply put, he's much more likely to land it on someone over the course of a fight, and when he does we can see it causes major fight-ending damage.

Whyte's left hook doesn't land as frequently because of how short he throws it; fighters have to be right in his wheelhouse or coming forward for it to be in range. And he's much more content to outbox fighters behind his jab than go all out for the KO, unlike Wilder, who'll just jump on the first available opportunity.

In terms of power they're both up there. Wilder has that quality of being able to drop fighters at any point in the fight, but at the top level he's not been able to flatline anyone the way Whyte has. Whyte's KO of Chisora and his knockdown of Parker are two of the most impressive things I've seen in the HW division lately. The Parker KD reminded me of Shavers vs Holmes (albeit different punch).

Wilder's KO of Ortiz was impressive as well, but we don't really know how good Ortiz's chin is, so there's a bit of a question mark there. Going back a bit, Wilder's inability to drop Duhaupas or stop Stiverne first go round show that it is possible to take his right hand multiple times, so the hyperbole around it needs to be taken down a notch. Of fighters that Wilder has categorically flatlined the only ones that spring to mind are Szpilka and Lyakhovich, one with a proven glass jaw and the other badly faded. To do that to anyone is impressive no doubt, but it can't compare to one shotting someone like Chisora. Of top level fighters he's KDed the only one that springs to mind is Fury, who while leagues better than Parker skill-wise has always had issues surrounding his chin.

 

I have seen it and while it’s a good punch, it’s not the sort of punch that makes me think it’s only a matter of time in a fight like wilders right hand does

 

Hopefully both get in the ring soon

 

Wilders does because only fury has been able to take it fully on the chin and get up whereas whytes left hook isn’t got that same ko power

 

Whytes left hook rarely does the manage in 1 go whereas wilder only needs one right hand to win a fight.
