Why do Deontay Wilder fans conveniently keep ignoring fights where his power was exposed?

Can't argue against that! Wilder is obviously a power puncher, but I don't believes his power is as special as some make it out to be. I don't for a second believe his power is greater than that of Anthony Joshua's, Wladimir Klitschko's, Dillian Whyte's and even Johann Duhaupas's. So although he isn't a light hitter, he also isn't some special one punch knockout artist who's power surpasses everybody else's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to drop a guy (Duhaupas) in 11 rounds, who was dropped by a feather fisted cruiser weight. Or he wouldn't have needed 9 rounds to BARELY KO a guy (Eric Molina), who was KO'ed twice in the first round previously and he wouldn't have struggled to keep that Molina down for the count.

 

Wilder lands a lot of rabbit punches (punches behind the ear and in the back of the head). He also lands punches with the wrist, forearm and etc. All which are illegal!

 

Maybe, maybe not. But my question is, what evidence suggests he has GREATER punching power than other boxers?

It seems like you've answered this question with the following statement:

"Based on one fight going the distance I guess. "

Now explain, how does over 80% of Wilder's opponents, failing to last the distance against Wilder, prove Wilder has more power than every other heavyweight, when they've all been stopped / KO'ed by other boxers?

The only opponent ONLY Wilder KO'ed / stopped legitimately, is Luis Ortiz that was 40+ years old and had high blood pressure, that didn't even have the stamina, legs or the youth to compete at a high level for more than 7 rounds. Other than that, all of Wilder's opponents have been stopped by others. And some, even more brutally than how Wilder stopped them.

So again I ask, how does Wilder stopping a bunch of guys that have been stopped before by other guys at least once, if not multiple times, prove Wilder is the hardest puncher?

If I fight Amir Khan 40 times and KO him 40 times whilst boasting a whooping 100% KO record, does that prove I'm a more powerful puncher than every other guy with a lower stoppage percentage? Since nobody would have lasted the distance with me! And since your reasoning suggests that because the fewest number of opponents have lasted the distance with Wilder, it somehow is supposed to prove he hits harder than others.
