Tough to say. Wilders punches are coming at you a lot faster and with more range though.
You should really take your own advice.The question wasn't has Wilder got power read the post again.
The question was does he hit harder than Foreman and is he one of the hardest hitting HW's of all time.
You need to work on your comprehension skills because your always going off the rails on peoples replies.
I could name at least a handful of obvious harder hitters than Wilder, if you believe he hits harder than Foreman and is one of the hardest hitters of all time then stay ignorant.
How did you work out that Wilder is one of the heaviest punchers ever?

This is what I responded to:
And I answered. The way he drops people is telling of how hard he hits. The fact that he melts people while both throwing and landing awkwardly is telling of his power.
Then its “we dont know if he hits harder than Joshua”. Ok. Tell me with a straight face that Wlad would be able to take Wilder’s punches? No, he wouldnt.
If you could point out where I said that he hits harder than Foreman Id appreciate it. Im having trouble finding this mythical post.
Id love to see your list of all the guys that pack more heat though. You make it sound like its a long list so Im intrigued.
Lastly, you should learn the difference between “your” and “you’re” before you want to throw out insults about ignorance and reading comprehension.
George Foreman was great but he was 218 lbs. He's not the hardest hitter ever. Maybe for the 1970s but not 2018. We have more "technology" than they did back then. It's not possible for a 1960s/ 1970s era guy to dominate a physical stat like that.
If we agreed (we dont at all) that those guys all hit harder, thats still sitting in thin company for the history of a sport, no?Exactly ....... so are you saying Wilder is one of the hardest hitters "ever" because that's the quote you were chiming in with?
As far as this list you think I'll struggle with ............
Foreman
Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson (prime)
Earnie Shavers
David Tua
Possibly Sony Liston (although this one is debatable)
Ron Lyle
Max Baer
Frank Bruno
Anthony Joshua
Again, let me make it clear (because I usually have to with you) I'm not saying Wilder is a light puncher, he hits hard sure, but the question was "all time hardest hitter".
As I tried to explain Wilder is 215 lbs, that's only 15.4st, its more the speed that allows him to get these shots in full force, if Foreman landed the same shot full wing it'd have a lot more weight behind it, same with a lot of the HW's on my list.
It's a great thread, I've read it a couple times over but it's been awhile. Will try to find it if I get a few mins to search teh googles. I remember, as you mentioned, he said Foreman would physically move him with every shot, and also when Foreman hit him the whole side of his face that George landed on would go numb, lol. That can't be fun.
Iirc he also said the hardest puncher he ever got hit by was Wlad, and I think he said it was by a clear margin. Something about how he had always had a good chin and even tho guys had kicked his ass he had never gotten legit ko'd until Wlad hit him with one of those leaping left hooks of his. Left him staring up at the ceiling or something. Wlad could fucking crack, man.
This isn't the only example of why I would say Wilder probably hits harder, but when he lands that right hand guys react in very weird ways. He can glance a shot off of a forehead and it seems to just make a your whole body lose its shit and go haywire. Weird type of power that has rarely been seen in this sport. I would say yeah he has more on shot power than Big George but it's obviously all conjecture when it comes to a subject like this.

Fuck ya, I read that one a while back and it was one of the better pieces Ive come across.@PUO3 you think this is good enough to put in its own thread? I'll make one quick but idk if I should just leave it here or not.
I was like 15 or so when him and Mike fought. It rustled my jimmies do badly. I knew he was going to lose but he got put down like Old Yeller.Never forget Lennox. Lol a few sentences in the guy has me remembering what Lennox did to ppl. Holy shit what a monster.
