I'm not a big Wilder fan. If you want to waste the time, check out my posts about Wilder, most will be negative.
Wilder does keep winning! The fact that he wins all by KO, hasn't been beyond the 4th or 5th round and hasn't been tested in the ring is the source of all the interest and ridicule.
I'm not defending Wilder, I was trying to answer Ron's question.
I wrote a novel breaking this down but I erased it because I don't want to bore people.
Short answer to Deontay is he seems to have alarming power. But history shows sloppy fighters with huge power don't hold up. There's no signs he will correct his technique so they either have to avoid resistance or watch him lose except the occasions he catches the guy. So far they've chosen to avoid resistance.
Oh no, of course. I just think its another in a long line of promoters trying to microwave a guy to the top. I'm in the skeptical boat as we've all seen so many guys who have faced better run up to eventually fall flat. One guy makes observations and points out obvious holes and he's called a hater, another on the other spectrum goes all in and buys the power push, nest coming etc and he's called a fan boy or whatever. There has to be middle ground and you can only analyze or critique what is actually happened, not what might or we wish would.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

Bit of a boring night but thinking of a previous date oriented thread, I ran across this vintage look at "power". Here's a beastly Wilder slipping and or being knocked off balance by a punch to the glove while fighting a 400lb unemployed trucker being payed in chili dogs and Funyans.
