    Prime Khan mayve been the fastest puncher ever saw. Shoutout to GRJ and RJJ too

    Wilder. Guys knew that was his only weapon and he still managed to get that shot in.

    No.
    43-3-1 (42KOs) 10-2-1 in World Championship bouts.
    And out of those 42 KOs the only two World Champions he beat?
    Siarhei Liakhovich and Bermane Stiverne, and Stiverne made it the distance the first fight.
    Wilder has great power but he beat lackluster guys.
    If he was, who people claim him to be, Fury never should've got up, and Parker should've went down.

    That's one perspective. Another is, his right was so good, that he was able to knockout 40 pro fighters with little to no boxing fundamentals. Is it possible that both perspectives are true?

    It was a hell of a shot but anything but straight imo (ok a few were), it was telegraphed and swung from behind his body and the force and momentum often went through his opponent, in looping fashion.
    Savage. But

    Kovalev had/has a beast of a straight right down the pipe, wouldn’t fancy taking one of those bad boys
