Wlad hits harder than wilder or Lewis.... Im a pretty good judgement of power and hard hitting ( theres a difference) Wlad has both, like lewis. I have Wlad at one from his own career. Wlad did not connect with the shots he usually does in the Fury fight ,his best shot was in the last round, getting hit earlier by Wlad is another story. And his best shot is the left hook not the straight right ( which is a truck ) for knock outs, which Fury was aware he was trying to do that leading leap hook he landed on Pulev,but was not setting it up. steward often yelled at Wlad to get the k.o and usually did....no one is doing that now. On the wilder k.o possibility??? I don't know,its one of those fights,we have to see if Wilder does put size on ,bc he will have a stronger punch in a 6'7 frame if he does.
Lol! Manny Steward used to LOSE IT with him! In the Chambers fight too. I thought Manny was going to start smacking his chest like he did Lewis in the Tyson fight
The left hook was actually the punch he pleaded with wlad to use, he may have ended up as a left hook k.o artist instead right hand one Wlads jab /hook was impossible to block when he used it off the jab, makes you wonder .
Very true. I remember Steward saying in an interview that Wlad knocked out a big name (he wouldn't say who) sparring partner on a BLOCKED left hook with headgear/16oz gloves on. Emanuel said the guy actually blocked the shot and still went out. Lol! And before the first Brewster fight, during the pre-fight thing they showed Emanuel saying to Wlad "You have a great left hook but you hardly use it. I think that's going to become your best punch."
Actually, there is doubt about it. Anybody could knock out the stiffs Wilder fought for the first 5 or 6 years of his career, and most of the handpicked glass-jawed journeyman he's fought since then (guys like Fraudley, Molina, Szpilka, etc.). Wilder's "power" is a fraud, just like everything else about him. There's a reason he didn't even dent the chin of the only halfway decent fighter he's fought - Bermane Stiverne - a guy, who, btw, was stopped by Demetrice King!!
Im a power guy myself, actually posted a vid of me here,. Those who say any of these top guys dont hit hard never been hit.
