    Big punchers generally tend to be exciting due to them being offense-oriented & having sudden KO Power. However, not every big puncher has an exciting style. Name some fighters who hit hard, but didn't have fan-favourite styles.

    Arthur Abraham, extremely low punch activity and spent most of the fight behind the high guard, still his knockouts looked like the other guy was shot with a sniper.

    He was legit at 160 but easy pickings for taller guys at 168 due to his style.

    You beat me to it. I hated his style but he absolutely could crack. That Ko of Taylor was down right crack.

    Okolie and Dubois were the first two that came to mind

    Joe Joyce, everyone goes on about how slow and methodical he is but people don't seem to get out of his way. He's hardly exciting but he can bang alright.

    Wladimir Klitschko was instrumental in improving relations between Ukraine and Russia , which he accomplished by hugging Povetkin all night.

    I find these kinds of fights extremely exciting live. The suspense is pretty amazing.
    Knowing the result makes the fights not really worth rewatching for me.

    Watching some Herol Graham type get snuffed out live while he's dominating the other guy is my guilty pleasure too.

    Most HWs are big punchers but as exciting to watch as a bowl of cereal.
