Some guys have excellent durable chins. I agree with your post. Wilder has an excellent counter right hand to be fair, but not the accumulative punching power of say a Povetkin KOing Duhuapas in 6, Kownacki KOing Spilka after 4 or even Arreola mopping the floor with Molina. He would have serious trouble with Jarrell Miller IMO.

 

Wilder's punching power is greatly overrated, as is his ability to TAKE a punch. He is probably the biggest FRAUD that has been perpetrated on the boxing public at this level in the nearly 40 years I have been following the sport.

Basically, his record is 95 percent stiffs and mediocre fringe contenders that ANYBODY should KO - and probably has!

Ten years, and his best opponents were aging, overrated contenders who had health issues. And yet, boxing fans take this bogus clown seriously! It just goes to show that PT Barnum was right, "there's a sucker born every minute."

 

I think you forgot the Charlie Z gym fight. The little 140 pound Charlie took numerous punches from Wilder without being KOed. Some punches landed when he was on his knees.

 

I agree to some degree. Wilder clearly hits very hard but he might not be the monster puncher he's made out to be. His KO's of Liakhovich and Szpilka are impressive but neither of these guys were known for their chins. Liakhovich has been stopped by 4 other people in his 7 losses, Szpilka is notoriously glass chinned. Liakhovich took 2 big right hands the 2nd one he was pinned to the ropes and took the full force of the shot as he couldn't roll with it as ropes stopped him from taking anything off the shot. Szpilka was caught coming it while throwing his own shot.

Molina took Wilder 9 rounds yet Molina was KO'ed in 1 by Arreola and in 3 by Joshua and it wasn't a case of him not being able to find the shots vs Molina, he hit him with a lot of hard shots throughout the fight and had him down earlier but his power wasn't sufficient to keep him down, he had to grind down Molina.

Stiverne went 12 rounds when he was in better shape in the first fight despite the rhabdo. In the 2nd fight he was 16lbs heavier and that effected his durability. Buster Douglas is another example of poor conditioning effecting durability. Fit he took the best of Tyson, overweight Holyfield KO'ed him brutally. And Stiverne again has been stopped before and in his previous fight had been dropped by Rossy.

One of the reasons I was looking forward to his mandatory with Breazeale was to see how his power held up against a guy with a proven good chin. I have a feeling he has trouble putting Breazeale away.

 

Wilder has good power, he is a TALL HW with long arms so he can generate some power for sure but i agree overall his power is overrated. He isn't the hardest punching HW ever or something like this.

Most of the HWs have some stunning KOs on their record like the Szpilka one for example. That's the game. HWs are hitting hard.

Wilder is hurting his opponents and then destroying them with some illegal punch tactics like windmills and rabbit punches.

There are a lot of names that took flush shots from Wilders right for 7-10 rounds without getting knocked out or even badly hurt.

As he was fighting mostly old fighters a lot of them were tiring during the late rounds and then going down / getting stopped because of being tired and exhausted.

Wilder is a Top 10 puncher in the HWD for sure but he isn't one or two levels above the rest, good power but no super human power like some are acting.

 

David HAYE and Murat Gassiev say he hits harder than Wladimir Klitschko.

Louis Fernando says he's a feather duster.

Are we playingn the opposite day? ....well then Chuvalo also had a glass jaw, he was TKOd before...I mean that's proof right there he can't take a punch.

 

This honestly the main reason why Wilder, to me, is not this freak power puncher. The man was ripping shots at Zelenoff, full force. Dont even try and tell me Wilder was punching at half power or some nonsense. He was pissed and landing bombs and Zelenoff wasnt even wobbled. A freaking 140lb dude was taking shots from the heavyweight champion of the world - ridiculous. Still knocks out AJ tho

 

His other worldly power can manifest at any moment. It really is down to the demon conjuring up the energy. It could happen anytime from 1 round to 12th round. See devil worshipper Wlad against Eddie Chambers. Wlad literally taps Chambers and he crumbles to the floor such is the force of the energy.

 

Well, I'm sorry for you guys, seriously. You must be very full of hate in order to say that wilder's power is overrated.

Sorry, guys, I hope you all get better, sincerely.

 

Good grief.... if anything, his power is the one thing that's guaranteed!

 

The power is there youd have to be blind to miss it. If Wilder lands one of his bombs on anybody its going to atleast put them in some desperate safety mode, more likely on the floor. Thing is all those knockouts are from not top quality opposition, Not guys who actually think in the ring, know how to defend well or pick up on tells. These people are harder to hit, you get them to just stand there like that pirate tampon mascot your going to get hurt but these people dont do that they move, block and ride punches.

Wilder is like a machine gun, not overly accurate and will happily throw at head, arm or thin air. He will look to counter Fury, thats Deontays strongest point but hes losing rounds getting outboxed as he goes and hes got a list of people waiting to fight him who Box better than most the people hes faced before.
