I'm saying it now, Wilder is the hardest hitting HW of all time.

I agree , I think he is the biggest punching heavy weight ever , must be those calves ...

 

I agree with your comment about not having to be a SHW but Ernie Shavers would have knocked Ortiz out cold having caught him like Wilder did or if he hit him with the shot that decked Holmes, I would say it`s between Shavers and Wilder though for the hardest puncher of all time, I do feel that the punch Lennox Lewis knocked Weaver out with would have sparked Ortiz also though.

 

He has not fought enough fighters to say he punches harder than Foreman or Shavers or Tyson or Lewis. Or even Tua.. He has a punch like Hearns a little, but he lacks Hearns great skills and jab.

 

It's too soon to tell that kind of things. He showed a tremendous punching power but i don't think he hits harder than George Foreman.

 

It helps if you tower over just about all your opponents though like Wilder and Hearns do so height does come into it as well. It’s not as simple as saying that it’s all down to weight and bulk.

 

Ive also been saying that he is one of the hardest punchers ever.
Up there with Louis, Dempsey, Foreman, Marciano, Tyson, Shavers, Baer, etc.

 

Even saying he is like Hearns is premature. Hearns proved it by knocking out legends. But he has the body type of Hearns. I would say he still needs to prove against other guys he is the hardest puncher. Lennox Lewis or Tyson or Foreman?

 

You talking about your ol`buddy Tyson?
