Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Deontay Wilder is the greatest one-punch knockout artist in the history of the heavyweight division.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Wilder does have a strong case, he holds the highest knockout percentage of any heavyweight champion in history and many trainers and analysts call him boxing's hardest single-shot puncher. But framing this as settled fact skips over a real ongoing debate, since names like George Foreman, Mike Tyson, and Sonny Liston are also frequently argued as the hardest one-punch hitters ever.
