20?

There's not a man alive that can stand up to his power. What a puncher this guy is.

[punchoutsb]

They both look to knock out their opponent.

Wilder is very emotional and wild which lends itself to earlier stoppages. Like I said, they both have different approaches.

[jamamb]

wilder kod breazele 6 rounds faster

aj kod molina 6 rounds faster

push (though if you want a tiebreaker they both fought jason gavern)

His record kind of disputes that statement.

Really? Who's he not dropped?

Duhaupas and Stiverne 1. Though I had assumed you meant stand up to his power as in not get knocked out which would then include Fury. Hyperbole aside his power is impressive though surely his lack of depth has to be considered.

He's stopped every man he's faught bar Fury, whom be dropped twice despite not hitting him flush.

You are correct, he couldn’t stop Fury. I’m not sure that’s furthering your point of no man alive being able to stand up to his punches though.

The record books should be corrected to show Luis Ortiz winning by KO over Wilder.

Fury couldn't. He ran like a dog and still got put flat on his back twice.

[Ilya Muromets]

No it's not a joke, Oog. Ortiz had Wilder on queer street and ready to go down in round 8, following a beating in round 7. Split seconds count in a situation like that of course, but then what happened? Wilder's "deep pocket" handlers got the ring doctor, or an actor portraying a ring doctor, to signal the ref to stop the fight so that he could give Wilder a...FUKKING EXAMINATION!!! Am I the only person who can even remember things like this that are supposed to be forgotten!?

At the very LEAST that fight should have been ruled NC and an immediate rematch ordered. At the very least - but really Ortiz won. Talk about blatant in your face corruption and outright cheating - and boxing fans just happily accept it!!! And they attack me for even bringing it up!

[punchoutsb]

Stop moving the goal posts to try to make your hyperbole factual. It isn’t.

Fury outlanded Wilder btw...hard to do if you’re running like a dog.

[Lackeos]

True. Although let's not forget that it took Joshua 7 rounds of systemically beating Breazeale down to get the same result.

Wilder KO'ed Szpilka in round 9. Kownacki KO'ed Szpilka in round 4.
Wilder KO'ed Washington in round 5. Kownacki KO'ed Washington in round 2.

Is Kownacki a more dangerous puncher than Wilder? Or is there a flaw in putting too much faith in this method of comparison?

[sturm vogel]

Easy there. Take it easy. That shot that took Brazzoula out was a counter punch. Counter punches are deceiving. Brazz tried to trade a low, wide left hook with a leaping right. Not too smart; leaping right wins those. Brazz doesn't know a fighter is supposed to throw the left hook high against a Wilder type to have a guard in case you miss. Canelo did that against GGG and protected himself reasonably well against GGGs straight rights. Anyway, that lunging power eventually gets the thrower knocked out sometime in his career. Wilder still has time to get himself knocked out and make that a great moment of his career too.

Here’s what some pros had to say on Twitter about the KO, and if you haven’t seen it yet, check out the highlights from the show.

Wow!! It hasn’t been that type of devastating KO power since Iron Mike Tyson @MikeTyson @ShowtimeBoxing @premierboxing #WilderBreazeale
— The Magic Man (@AntonioTarver) May 19, 2019

That shot breazeal got knocked out with is the same shot @Tyson_Fury took and got up from acting like nothing happened. Wilders power is something, furys chin and determination is also something interesting

The kind of power @BronzeBomber has is once in a generation. We haven’t seen that kind of power in the heavyweight division since Mike Tyson. Deontay has that one punch eraser and if he lands it, you’re going down.
— Ray Flores (@SBRFlores) May 19, 2019

Wilder actually tried to do what he said with that right hand
— Ryan Garcia (@KingRyanG) May 19, 2019

And at least one person took notice of Luis Ortiz’s look in the ring after the fight:

I didn’t know if Ortiz was trying to make a fight or sell his mixtape. I know y’all seen the chain.

It is, you clown.

[greg]

..I certainly don't question his power, his record speaks for itself ..having said that, hasn't Breazeale got to his feet shaky and all of course, hasn't Fury done it twice and still won according to many fans and experts?

[Impractical Poster]

You are correct, he couldn’t stop Fury. I’m not sure that’s furthering your point of no man alive being able to stand up to his punches though.

Well, every pro fight he's had, his opponent has either hit the deck, or been stopped. Most of the time it's both.

I agree with the statement as in no one can handle Wilder's power. Everyone hes fought, he has hurt.

It is a joke. New York State will call time outs to examine fighters since the Abdulusamolev incident. Take it up with them.
