    Yes. It exists but is not what the fanboys say.

    Power wise definitly not 10/10. Klitschko and Joshua hits harder.

    if Wilder has 10/10 power than what about King Kong Ortiz , Joshua , Mansour ? Mansour would murder Wilder in 4 rds max

    I think most people can admit that Wilder hits pretty darn hard.

    His technique is often woeful, however. I swear that I could get better leverage into my punches in my high school fights.

    That said, if he ever got somebody to correct his technique he would indeed be a devastating puncher up there with the best of them.

    I just wish that he'd step up his class of opponent.

    HW with punch power 10/10 - my opinion, of course : Klitschko, Joshua, Wilder, Haye, Ortiz, Stiverne, Povetkin, Briggs, Prize, Helenius and Teper...CW Gassiev should be mentioned too...

    Very overrated he is a can crusher. I expected first round ko's over Molina, Szpilka and Arreola and he failed to deliver.

    Won't know anything until he FINALLY steps up

    I suppose that you are not quite serious.

    Good puncher but poor timing so he doesn't land often vs better fighters. Tbh I'd say Browne hits harder than him and is probably the heaviest puncher in the division, it's like Foreman clubbing power, rather than explosive power. Shame he came in so late in the game then got popped for steroids which had a lot of shady dealings around it

    I see that there are many people who like to lie to themselves. The man moves very large men with arm punches. It is so obvious that Wilder is a big, big puncher with a right hand that his opponents train to stay away from. His boxing ability is limited, but his power should not be in question.

    I think he hits pretty hard. Not Earnie Shavers hard, but good enough.

    Lack of power isn't his problem. It's his wide punches that will someday get him in trouble. I see a Martinez-Williams type KO coming soon.

    yeah this,anyone who delivers a punch from behind their back and connects is gonna do some damage but anyone with boxing ability would see it a mile off,he and his management know this which explains his opponents which he still manages to make em look good when they are C grade at best.

    Read it properly. His punches are slow but heavy. I'm not saying hardest.
