Naoya Inoue and Gervonta Davis are two of the P4P hardest punchers in the game right now. Who do you think hits harder? I'd have to give it to Inoue. He has more KOs over top fighters.
Davis isn`t P4P one of the hardest punchers in the game, he only punches with 70% of his full body weight because of poor body mechanics.
Davis. He’s average-sized for a super featherweight, and small at lightweight, and he knocked out a big light welterweight in Mario Barrios. And before anyone says Barrios is chinny, he had went 12 rounds with Akhmedov and taken some hits in the process. Not to mention he’s so big that he moved up to welterweight in his very next fight. Also worth noting that Tank is the only man to knock out Jose Pedraza (out cold as well), something that Lomachenko failed to do.
Inoue iced a McDonnell in a round who had 14lbs on him, that's a ridiculous amount especially more so for leprechaun division fighters. Barrios had about 5-6lbs on Twink As for Twink stopping Pedraza and Loma not being able to albeit only because the bell came to Pedraza's rescue in round 11 after Loma dropped him twice. Well that's hardly a fair comparison for a variety of different reasons Pedraza fought like a complete moron against Twink, abandoning his considerable skills to recklessly wade in face first to bomb after bomb all night (a suicidal tactic), whereas against Loma he employed a completely different game plan and actually used his skills. It was Loma's first fight back after shoulder surgery just seven months earlier which according to experts is too soon to come back. Hence why his surgeon strongly advised him against doing so that quickly and why they devised a game plan with him that revolved around not throwing his right hook (his most powerful punch. Go ask Martinez and Crolla if you don't believe me) and his right uppercut and why he barely threw them and didn't even start doing so until like round 9 or so. It's hardly a coincidence that he came within a whisker of getting Pedraza out of there after incorporating those punches into his attacks Interview with Loma's surgeon 'Lomachenko wasn’t himself when he returned from the operation on his right shoulder to defeat Jose Pedraza by a lopsided decision in December, as he was unable to deliver hooks with his lead hand out of his southpaw stance. As ElAttrache said would be the case. Lomachenko said he will enter his fight against Crolla with his entire arsenal. As ElAttrache said would be the case. “He’s a very good man,” Lomachenko said. “He’s a very smart doctor.” ElAttrache’s assistance went beyond the operation. By correctly describing to Lomachenko what he would experience in his recovery, he provided the fighter with comfort — specifically, comfort in knowing that what he was experiencing was normal. Because of his familiarity with the sport, ElAttrache was able to speak to Lomachenko in ways he could relate. “It helped because I knew the mechanics of it,” ElAttrache said. With a list of former patients that includes Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady, ElAttrache is known a surgeon to the stars. ElAttrache himself has become a star in the field of sports medicine. In the case of Lomachenko, the fighter dislocated his right shoulder when he threw a hook early in his fight against Jorge Linares in May of last year. ElAttrache repaired Lomachenko’s labrum and reattached ligaments. Lomachenko continued to receive advice as he rehabilitated his shoulder. “He explained me to what I can or can’t do,” ElAttrache said. In late July, ElAttrache received word that Lomachenko was seriously thinking of returning to the ring the following month. ElAttrache’s advice was simple: don't And as Lomachenko prepared for his comeback against Pedraza in December, ElAttrache cautioned him against using his right hook in training. ElAttrache explained to him that not throwing the punch in training would likely prevent him from delivering it in the actual fight. Even if his shoulder was healed, his mind wasn’t. “When that arm goes into that position, the brain remembers that was the position where that dislocation occurred,” ElAttrache said. “It takes time to overcome that apprehension.” When Lomachenko was told to construct a fight plan that didn’t include the right hook, he listened. When Lomachenko discovered he was indeed reluctant to throw the punch, he remained calm. Lomachenko trusted his doctor. He is now ready to trust his shoulder again.' Listen to what Andre Ward who has suffered a similar injury and has undergone the same surgery says here This content is protected And Twink weighed a whole weight class more down at 130 than Loma does at 135 and Loma was giving away like 9-10lbs against Pedraza if I remember correctly
Let’s see when Twink starts fighting top guys at his own weight. So far he has focused on little guys moving up, washed up geezers and prospects. For a guy who pretends to be elite, he sure avoids any real competition. His next opponent is no exception. Pathetic.
Close but probably tank he knocked out barrios who dwarfed him in the ring and now fights at 147. When Inoue starts knocking out guys at 130 I will change my mind until then tank.
This is a hard call. Sometimes Tanks power looks absolutely devastating. Then there are fights against Gamboa where he landed a million clean shots on him but it took him a long time to put away an old chinny Gamboa. Then there are fights where he destroys his opposition like Pedraza or Barrios who is a lot bigger. Inoue had similar issues against that Thai fighter Karoon where he hit him with a million clean shots and he didn't go down. David Carmona was slippery so I won't discredit him for that. Consistency wise it feels like Inoue has better p4p power, but when Tank is on point his power is devastating.
Inoue not only the bigger puncher relative to his weight class he also is a more complete offensive fighter he can knock someone out with a better and more diverse variety of punches than Tank. With that said Tank is a big puncher too and i hope he knocks Romero out, hell forget hope hes going to knock that fool out. Btw Tank is a Inoue admirer in one of the All Access episodes (cant remember wich one) he was watching videos of Inoue and showing them to members of his camp.
Davis has more natural power while Inoue delivers the punch better. It’s hard to pick one over the other but I’m gonna go with Davis after he knocked out a big light welter in Mario Barrios
