    I know you don't mean Joe Louis or Jack Dempsey as "lesser punchers"

    He has terrific power but not always the nous to apply it.I see no improvement in his boxing ability over the last 3/4 years do you?

    Agree. I don't think too much of those 4 but I don't think much of Wilder either. I'd favour him over all of them but I think he'd drop one, maybe two, along the way.

    I am not seeing anything at the moment.

    He seems to be in love with his power, and one day he will hit somebody on the chin, and they won't fall over.

    It happens to everybody eventually!

    It nearly happened to him against Duhaupas. Fortunately for him, Duhaupas has rather little punching power of his own.

    Wilder will probably end up losing to a Ross puritty type, a tank with power that eats all his shots and then finally lands a few big whallops of his own.
