Deontay Wilder ... Overrated power and garbage technique Riddick Bowe ... Just overrated in power but amazing puncher overall Shavers ... Maybe not that overrated in power but the only punch he really had was the right hand Guys like Spoon, Bruno, and Bonecrusher Smith are often overlooked when it comes to the power department ... They hit as hard as anyone in boxing history ...
If anything his power can get underrated as many highlight his speed, ability to hit you with punches not seen and rapier like combinations as the reason he knocked so many people out. Now this is true to an extent but he most certainly had one punch power in both hands. BIG power.
I think as already been mentioned most punchers can be a tad overrated power wise. I think really it comes down to two who are not and really justify their reputations and that’s Bob Fitzsimmons and Julian Jackson.
Maybe Rubin Carter? I know he wrecked Griffith, and could certainly crack but his KO% is below 50% overall.
