    You are asking how Wilders power would of impacted against some of the past greats of the sport yet we are still waiting to see how it copes with the best of the current era. His power is good, there is no denying it but he hasnt fought anybody with the brains and skills to defend very well or even try use how he throws his bombs to their own advantage. Thats what you get at the top of the division and thats what weve been now waiting 40 fights to see.

    Deontay's windmills could generate a tsunami. Thankfully his flawless technique. Stops them hitting Alabama.

    Didn't you know, Wilder fought bonafide #2 in the division: Luis Ortiz! Amazing!
    Considering he didn't fight Povetkin, or AJ, or Whyte, or Parker, or Pulev or H Fury, he has earned the right for this Fury fight to account for all of that and put him atop the pantheon.
    Makes perfect sense.
    The mere fact he is scheduled to fight Fury is enough for some to start talking ATG....

    Most heavyweights would have amazing power if they fought the type of tomato cans that Wilder has fought. Imagine if Anthony Joshua fought Washington, Szpilka, Arreola and the rest the last couple of years. He would look like a young Mike Tyson hahah.

    I think a Prime Arreola punches harder than Wilder.

    David Haye said Wilder is one of if not the hardest puncher hes ever seen or felt, said his punches felt harder in sparring with 16oz gloves than Wlads did in their actual fight.

    I know he's no forum expert but his opinion is worth a penny or two on the subject, seeing as how hes actually felt the punches n all that.

    He has sparred AJ, Ortiz, and Wilder. He says Wilder by far.

    Again... no forum expert, so must take that into consideration, but... worth noting is all.

    So I guess this is just as Valid as those saying Golovkin knocks out heavyweights in sparring or punches as hard as Heavyweights?

    Well... Golovkin is one of the most powerful middleweights of the modern era, so... imo, his gym reputation wound up being validated, so your post actually goes against your point, imo.


    But anyways... all Im saying is, the vast majority of the pros Ive seen talk about Wilder, rate his power very highly. And especially when seasoned veterans start saying youre the most powerful guy theyve ever felt... I just think its worth noting is all.
