Is Deontay Wilder the hardest puncher in boxing history?

[stalkerforlife]

I always here things like "All you have to do is not make a mistake and you can outpoint him! He has poor technique!"

Well, everyone seems to make mistakes against him lol.

I don't think I've ever seen a harder puncher; not even prime Tyson.

What y'all think?

Are you saying Ruiz is the hardest puncher ever?

[warriorfan]

Even if he isn

[SomeBlackDude]

he's def up there. but it's hard to say where he ranks exactly since he hasn't exactly faced any elite fighters in their prime who are known for having iron jaws. closest thing was a past prime, out of shape tyson fury. and fury survived his bombs.

don't know how he stacks up to say a george foreman or ernie shavers in the hw division all time. and p4p, julian jackson is still the hardest puncher all time.

Earnie Shavers is the hardest hitter the casuals haven't heard about. Look how he sends Ali to another dimension.

man, ali had an otherwordly chin. no idea how he stayed on his feet after some of those hits. prob a big reason why he had the health issues he did later on though.

I doubt it. But when you swing for the fences that much you don

[stalkerforlife]

Good looking out on the Shavers mention.

I'll have to do my research.

[dude77]

I don't know about ever .. but at some point you gotta give him his credit .. the guy is putting his opponents away .. who cares if he's down in the cards, if he ends up knocking your ass out .. 42-1 41 kos crazy

[tpols]

watch this whole fight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8AVcEyyMco)... he lost, but this guy hit harder than foreman.

Hard puncher, lacks fundamentals.

The one TRUE lineal champion Tyson Fury will beat him (again) in February.

[Manny98]

Easily

Nobody has mentioned Julian Jackson, he's my pick.

[iamgine]

If we're talking force alone it might be Eric Butterbean. When he uses his whole 400 lbs mass to punch, damn!

[BarberSchool]

Overhand Rights: Earnie Shavers & Afro Foreman

Inside Uppercuts & Peek-A-Boo Hooks: Prime Tyson

Stiffest jabs:
Towering Downward: Klitschko
Straight Jab P4P: Winky Wright

I do like Wilder's inertia-rich telegraphed Haymakers.
The boy gets so much power out of a skinny frame.
But he can almost never land them on anyone with decent feints/footwork.

[eliteballer]

It's Foreman or Tyson.

[Bawkish]

probably, but with the likes of Shavers, Foreman, Liston, Tua, Tyson, Marciano, Joe Louis who were mostly fought some of the elite in their time i'd reserved my judgement till he fights one

[AirBonner]

Mike Tyson and Wilder would be an interesting matchup. However Tyson had the power to match and better footwork

[warriorfan]

Tyson would bob, duck up under his huge bombs and close the gap then throw hook after hook till wilder was dead
