Amen, we’ve all watched old school boxing, when has there been someone notable at HWT with Wilders unique long tall and fast build combined with power that doesn’t seem reliant at all on balance or even a need to travel a very far distance or even be thrown in a power producing way at all in some cases to score a KD or KO, he has absolute dynamite in his hands and yes by this point I in particular find him to be unique in that quality enough to have a claim to this title of hardest hitting.Wilder floored Fury four times, nearly stopping him in two fights. Something nobody else has come close to doing, including Wald who's basically Lennox 2.0.
Before wilder it was pretty unanimous among non-casuals that Shavers was the GOAT puncher, and he never won a title was walked down and knocked out by far lesser fighters than Fury.
Fury walking wilder down and stopping him is a reflection of wilder's poor boxing skill and suspect durability--it says NOTHING about his power, as it isn't like Fury was walking through anything that landed clean.
