    Interesting. Jennings was an actual Janitor and i don't remember Wlad knocking him out.
    Hell , he never even came close to knocking him down.

    I would say wilder, having said that I would imagine Wlad would KO all of Wilders opponents.

    This is an interesting question.*

    Wlad fights conservatively usually, and with proper technique. He rarely if ever loses balance and position. As a result he is the better fighter but will probably hit less hard with his 'usual' punches than Wilder, despite his extra 20lb.

    Wilder throws more of himself into his punches and is often off balance and in awkward positions. But as a result, he seems to hit harder on average.

    HOWEVER:

    When Wlad in the past has made a point of it to really sit down on his punches and to "shoot to kill" eg, against Pulev, I don't think Wilder comes close to those bombs.

    TLDR: Usually Wilder but Wlad if he wants to.

    *I assume we are talking power punches. If we're including the jab then Wlad wins hands down

    Probably Wlad.... Back in his prime! Wilder may hit harder pound for pound and punch for punch as of right now.

    With a proper PSI machine I'd imagine Wlad had more weight and force while Wilder would deliver the quicker rubber-band effect punch because of his more refined fast twitch muscles. Its sort of like the mallet vs the hammer.

    Both have certainly proven they hit quite hard, maybe someone can school me as to how the more qualified contenders take punches better than the assumed less experienced or less talented fighters? I don't envision many HW boxers can attribute their lack of punch resistance to struggling to make weight and not being properly rehydrated. Your chin is basically your chin and other than utilizing your "skills" and "talent" to avoid punches if a heavy hitter connects and your chin isnt made of cement your likely to go down.

    Exactly. Until Wilder faces somebody decent and actually knocks them out, the answer HAS to be Wlad, who has fought and KOd top guys for over a decade. Wilder has faced ONE halfway decent opponent - Stiverne - and, predictably, since his "power" is as fraudulent as the rest of his career, didn't knock him out.

    Virtually anybody could KO the guys Wilder has faced. That's what they're hired to do, get knocked out.

    Jennings would either KO Wilder or win a wide UD.

    You're right, Jennings is too dangerous for Wilder; Wilder will never fight him. Jennings is a former janitor who is now a full-time fighter. Wilder only fights people who are window washers, delivery drivers, school teachers, etc as their primary occupation.

    Just my opinion only...

    I think Wladimir can hit harder but dont think he commits too much due to what may come back, so doubt he hits as hard as often when in the ring, if that makes sense?. Thats only my opinion but when you looked at Wladimir earlier in his career between the Purrity loss and before the Sanders loss. Wladimir seemed to commit more to his punches than I think he does now. I think he often is backing up a bit when throwing rather than following through, which I think removes some of the power, whereas Wilder seems to follow through more.

    So yes I think Wladimir can hit harder but dont think he often hits harder when fighting.

    Make sense?

    Clown???
    To show you a clown, look no further than yourself when I ask who said anything about top guys? Havent wrote anything about top guys at all. You see, this is you getting all excited and once again making a twat of yourself by looking for something that isnt. What a knob lol.
    Though I would say that I think there are some KO wins Wlad has over some opponents that are better than I think any that Wilder has faced, but that doesnt mean I dont think Wilder may beat some of them or score KOs himself.
    Now run along before you get made to look an even bigger fool, or should we say before you look an even bigger clown
