My top 10 punchers in the heavyweight division today

Vitali should be lower much lower he hardly ever was a one punch KO artist like Helenius, Price or others possibly even Samuel Peter, Briggs.

What is Boytsov and Bermane Stiverne doing on that list? Look up with who he went the distance.
Remove and replace with Peter, Briggs and I'm cool.

 

David Tua is not retired and Shane Cameron with his last kill must be on the list

 

Vitali is not a big puncher.

 

Wlad definitley 1

Haye's KO over a tough chinned Chisora should put him at 2

Vitali used to be a real bomber now he still has plenty of power but not nearly as much as when he was at his best in 03-04

Boystov i dont think so

rest of the list seems ok

Mitchell could be added

i mean its heavy lots of hard punchers too many to choose

hell even Travis Walker has a bomb

Arreola impresses me a lot because of the power he has when throwing mid your combination

his last fight with i think the dudes name was Molina or something like that the guy hurt him got over excited and got caught

he did this vs Travis Walker got hurt and fired back mid a Walker attack

 

i wouldnt go that far

big one punch KO guy no and he never really was

but his power has lost a step for sure

 

I dont think Haye should be quite so high as he is a counter puncher. A counter puncher generally relies on half of the momentum from the other guy to land a hard shot rather than generating the power all by himself.
Vitali doesn't have special power.
Helenius for me is still not that impressive. Folded against Chisora and took 7 rounds to beat a fat Sam Peter and a few other old guys? Not Sure about him.

Where would you guys put Ustinov and Solis? They can both hit pretty well. Vitali,Stiverne and Boytsov don't belong. Boytsov won't be getting any KO's once he stops fighting cardboard cutouts. Stiverne only has average power and so does old man Vitali at this point.

 

Off the top of my head.

1) Wlad
2) Helenius
3) Abdulasamov
4) Haye
5) Sherman Williams
6) David Price
7) Demetrice King (exhibit A as to why chin and power aren't the most inportant things in the sport)
8) Amir Mansour (assuming he can ever fight again)
9) Vitali
10) Deontay Wilder

Not all of these guys are actually good, but they can all punch. I'd pick Pulev , who had no punch, to beat any of them not named Klitschko.

 

The punch he made the great SNV do the chicken dance with wasn't a counter, and Haye is the only man to ever do that. The guy hits HARD

He is

 

Vitali seems to have lost some of his pop as of lately

 

#1 Valuev barely ever faced a hard hitter. Haye caught him with one shot while Valuev was off balance and Valuev got his legs tied up. Haye's best win was over Chisora and that was all counter. I never said he wasnt a hard hitter though. He is strong,I know this.

And David Tua IS NOT RETIRED. Look it up. He said he only took time off to sort his life out. In fact,he said he will fight in December or early 2013.

 

When was the last time he really hurt someone with one punch? He's a great volume puncher, but not a great puncher. Still better than most, but not at all elite.

 

Even if he isn't, he could barely wobble chimney Monte Barrett. His punch Ian what it used to be.

 

Abysmal heavyweight division :verysad

 

FWIW, Wach is a good puncher I missed. Arreola and Boytsov aren't really punchers though IMO.
