I included the honorable Senator Pacquiao as guys that fight him go straight into survival mode despite being iron-chinned and/or much bigger (Broner, Mosley, Floyd, Clottey). Those who elect to not run get badly hurt and take a beating (Thurman, Margarito, Rios, Matthysse, Cotto, Hatton). I gotta say Inoue, though. Every single punch is crippling and devastating.
After Fury deals with AJ everyone will think he's magically gained super power. Rocking him with every punch, dropping him all over the shop.
Agree that he's a hard puncher, but what makes you think he's the hardest puncher? Especially above the names in the poll.
Because he hits harder than the guys in the poll. He has all 3 main types of power, thudding, explosive and leverage based power.
Beterbiev...his punches are short, violent and he does not need to load up much or need a lot of space.
I don't think anyone in the sport can generate the kind of power, sheer brute force heavy handed thudding power, like Beterbiev can with punches that travel such short distances. His shots are so weighty and heavy that wherever he clumps you on your head it'll automatically become the sweet spot. This content is protected
When it comes to snapping power it's Inoue. When it comes to leverage it's Wilder. When it comes to heavy hands it's Beterbiev. When it comes to all around power it is Joe Smith Jr.
Lemieux is right up there, short punch specialist. In fact p4p he’s probably heavier than all mentioned
you lost me when you said Floyd went into survival mode against Pac . have you seen that fight yet? pac is a hard puncher though I'll give you that, but I think he's more about the speed than the bone crushing power. it would have been Adonis Stevenson, but he is retired so I'll say Wilder, and AJ when he wants to engage
You CANNOT rank Wilders power until he fights better competition, Inoue has done more in 20 fights than Wilder has in 42
