How is Wilder able to generate so much force with his punches?

He's so light for the division, especially in his legs and core, which are supposedly the two main parts of your body that are responsible for generating leverage and power. Not only does he have a more frail body but his technique is not that great either, which makes his knockouts even more impressive

its those extra african muscles and bones.

Leverage.

Wilder knows how to put everything behind that right hand. He definitely does windmill his punches, but those don't usually come until after he's got his man hurt. His right hand might be one of the most consistently powerful punch in heavyweight history.
 
Having a large, strong big toe allows him to generate more force from his pivot when he punches
 
The masks he wears before his fights give him some sort of divine ability.

It is only a matter of time before the governing bodies outlaw them as PEDs.

In all seriousness, I would be interested in seeing him undergo some lab tests in regards to his body composition as well as monitoring him while punching.

I would imagine it has to do with his "windmill" punches. Haymakers, if they connect, can get you out of there.
 
He windmills a bit and he is good at it but most importantly he is explosive as fuck.
 
Where in Africa is Mexico and Kazakhstan?
 
1. Fist-elbow alignment. Michael Jai White talked about this. Wilder has a good grasp of range of his right hand, enabling him to swing his arm like a train. When the train collides, all its sections pile up and crumple. Same with Wilder's fist and arm: all the bones are in alignment. The only difference with MJW's example is that to keep that alignment, Wilder lifts his elbow out.

2. Axial displacement (needs a good sense of space/distance). Basically stepping forward (and using that power) which leads to..

3. Hip synchronization. His hip rotation is very much in synch with his swing, i.e. his fist hits at the near maximal point of his hip's range of rotation. His front leg may have stopped moving (and thus acted as a brake) but his hip is still moving and powering the train wreck. If the hip reaches the end point of rotation it acts as a brake: yes it will fling the fist but there's no weight behind it.
 
Well it's two components:
1. Speed
2. Distance
First thing is he has extremely fast twitch muscles. Wilder isn't the type of guy to clench his fist and try to throw power behind his shots but since he's so fucking fast and puts his whole body into his punches (leaving his chin exposed) he's able to punch extremely powerful
The second thing is distance. He has extremely long arms but doesn't throw the right hand when his opponents are on the end of punch, neither super close. For this reason, due to Wilder's boxing skills he's treading deep waters if Fury stays on the outside or decides to clinch with him. Wilder likes when guys get in that medium distance and explodes because it allows him to utilize his full power. See a common misconception for guys with big reaches is that the power comes at the end of their punch but the truth it comes in the middle and Wilder masters this perfectly.

For these two reasons, guys say Wilder isn't technical. True, he isn't a technical boxer but he's a technical puncher and can maximize his full power when he needs to against lesser experienced boxers, or a tired boxer like Ortiz. However, a guy like Fury it won't work. Wilder's only chance is to push Fury against the ropes and throw a big shot when Fury leans against the ropes but then again because of Fury's footwork Wilder has no chance.
 
He just has the skills to punch really hard but that also comes with speed, timing and accuracy as well.

And on a side note he also moves well on his feet but never gets credit for it since so many people are determined to make him sound as shitty as possible.
 
Lots of leverage, enough that it can compromise his balance. Plus hes fast and has long arms so his straight punches have that snapping whip power that will whiplash your head hard if he catches you at peak extension. He doesnt have the heavy handed thudding Foreman type power where he can half speed arm punch you and make you dance though, and his hooks/uppercuts are probably not all that powerful due to his body composition. Its mainly his down the pipe right and wide baseball bat swing clubbing right that are the danger shots.

Lastly, he hits people behind the ear a lot of the time.
 
Legend has it that he produces Viagra elixir from his Alabama snake during the fight. These are superpowers. The last Avenger. Captain America be so proud

Because they start a day early, that how far they travel
 
Incredible athleticism and speed coupled with recklessness.
