    I think he knows he's big enough to do damage with arm punches, and prefers the trade off of power for the ability to throw non-stop without gassing out. Every now and again you see him really dig in full bodied shots, but it tends to come when his opponents are sitting ducks.

    He does seem a bit awkward and uncoordinated though, so perhaps he just can't learn to punch properly, or it totally screws with his style or something.

    He reminds me of a mutant mix of George Foreman and Joe Calzaghe, with a dash of Jorge Castro thrown in for good measure. He's clearly not a one punch puncher, and a lot of the time isn't in position to deliver truly thunderous blows, but his punches clearly add up as the rounds go by, and the sheer variety of his work coupled with the movement and the angles seems to break guys down.

    I wouldn't put him anywhere near the top punchers of the division, but a big unit like that who never stops punching is going to get a lot of stoppages regardless.

    What point are you attempting to make? That Wilder doesn't have power because 1 guy made it 12 rounds while he had a gimped right hand ? Tommy Morrison vs Hipp proves what? I don't get this

    He's 33 years old and robbed bye bye Jennings

    It's a wrap

    The fact that one fight goes 12 rounds then a year and a bit later goes 30 seconds is just coincidence according to these chunps

    He's just too slow to generate a good pop on the end of his punches, and it doesn't help that you can see them coming for about 3 seconds before they land.

    It's a shame really because looking at his other attributes like his stamina, size, footwork and work rate he'd be an absolute monster if he had faster hands - but unfortunately, in terms of speed, he's about on par with Jorge Kahwagi.

    Wilder skills sucks big time, but his power is tremedeous, it can't be questioned

    Would have been better coming in heavier against Jennings. He usually comes in the mid 260s and I think it had a effect on his power. He's one of those fighters that suit coming in heavier.
