The question is who hits the hardest pound-for-pound. Wilder has knocked out people who weighed from 200 pounds to close to 400 pounds, while weighing just over 200 pounds himself. He's gone 10 years (a full decade) without outweighing anyone, yet he continued to knock out everyone he's faced (regardless of their weight or size) as a pro ... Except for the best fighter on the planet, Tyson Fury, who outweighed Wilder by 40 pounds every time they fought ... yet Wilder still floored him FOUR TIMES and left Fury saying he (Fury) thought he'd gotten brain damage. Inoue has only stopped grown men who weigh from 108 to 118 pounds ... basically grown men the size of children. The smallest grown men you'll ever see, all within a span of 10 pounds. 10 POUNDS! That's who he knocks out. And EVEN then, EVERY TIME Inoue stepped on the scale as a pro, INOUE WEIGHED MORE than everyone he's fought but two guys (who outweighed him by a quarter of a pound). The guy who hits the hardest pound-for-pound is the guy who is ACTUALLY DOING IT ... IN REAL LIFE ... destroying fighters no matter how big or small they are. Giving Inoue the best puncher designation is like picking up a little kid, holding him up to the basketball rim, letting him put the ball in the net, and then proclaiming "Yay, you did it! You WIN!"
Wilder has knocked out basically everyone he faced over nearly a 200-pound weight span. Inoue has knocked out most of the guys he fought over a 10-pound weight span. Pound-for-pound wise, and REAL-LIFE WISE, Wilder is hands down the winner.
By you making this thread, youre insinuating that hes the biggest puncher in boxing, and you know it and I know it. That poll is ridonkulous!
You know that makes ZERO sense, right? I made a thread... With a choice of options... And a poll to go along with the options... And I gave my pick, so no insinuation as I clearly stated my own personal opinion.
You're the one who put him in the poll. We're not supposed to discuss him? This apparently didn't work out like you intended. I'm done.
You made a thread insinuating that Inoue is the biggest puncher p4p when thats not true. It makes perfect sens. This isnt the 1st time you hinted at it. Tank has a 93% KO ratio Inoue has 88%, whos the hardest puncher? Im not even going to talk bout Wilder or Beterbiev. Tank is the biggest puncher below 140 pounds. Period.
Wilder is at the very least in the discussion, so his inclusion made sense. I don't have him as P4P the hardest puncher because he's of a size (heavyweight) where the division he competes in, everyone has a realistic chance of KOing anyone. See the poll results. Tank is DISSSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT fourth place. And once again, Tank had 16 bums to pad his KO record with. If Inoue had 16 bums to pad his record when he started out, he'd have a higher KO percentage. Julian Jackson's KO percentage is 80% and he's frequently mentioned as the P4P hardest puncher in boxing history. So Tank hits harder P4P than Julian Jackson?
You know the Polls on ESB dont mean nothing. If BoxingEgo Or any other reputable YT site with thousands of followers put up the same poll i can almost guarantee you that Inoue Would be losing. Those are facts. Inoue is a great fighter, big puncher for his size but p4p hardest puncher currently with an 88% KO ratio isnt cutting it. And the comparison is not between Julian Jackson so dont move the goal posts.
You cited KO%. I gave you a FACT. Julian Jackson, with his 80%, is rated by most people as P4P the hardest puncher in boxing history.
And guess what Inoue isnt even a bigger puncher than Tank Davis im giving you a FACT. Im comparing the 2 you put in the poll. Im not talking about Jackson thats insignificant to what your thread is about.
That's YOUR (unpopular) opinion. Don't bring up KO ratios if you're not going to accept them just because the example of Julian Jackson destroyed your argument.
