    This is only in sparing obviously, so make of it what you will.

    Next time people tell you 'keyboard warriors' can't have a better assessment than professional boxers, show them this utterly ridiculous analysis by another idiot fighter who simply can't think.

    Unless he's just playing around. This theme of Chisora being the biggest puncher in boxing might be a running gag amongst them now.
    Anyone who has watched Chisora from the early days knows he was never a KO-artist. To the point where it was a shock when he KO'd Takam.

    Obviously Price hurt Allen more than anyone and that wasn't even prime Price. It's well known he hits harder than Fury.
    And Browne barely touched Allen with a power punch and the fight ended in the second round.

    If Allen actually believes this list it's pretty scary.

    Another explanation is that Chisora is such a POS that he tries to KO everyone in sparring. That's why people think he's a bigger puncher than others they've sparred. I think there's some truth to this as Browne did get KO'd in sparring just before the Whyte fight by Chisora. Why would Chisora be throwing like that in final sparring before a fight?

    Chisora's overhand right is brutal if it lands, so it makes sense.

    :lol:

    Don't think there's anyone who believes Fury hits harder than Dubois or Joshua.

    You can see AJ and Dubious coming from 50 miles away and they need to set their feet in front of you to land. Fury will have had Dave walking onto shots for fun and landing from wierd angles unsighted.

    Furys timed left hook to the body from distance is by far his best punch...but laterd rounds Fury does become an arm puncher.

    No, but he's clear that it's only his experience. And he said for example that McCracken told him that Joshua is a different animal in actual fights. Different fighters will treat sparring in different ways. Some will try and take your head off just like it was a fight and others won't let ego come into it as much but more try and work on their weaknesses and specific techniques and tactics.

    Even in fights, tactical approaches might make a difference, where some will go all out for the KO and others will pace themselves more and let the KO come when and if it does. And he mentions this as a possible reason as to why he didn't feel for example Price hit him that hard.

    I think it's a very well reasoned take from him and it seems very honest also. Clearly AJ and Dubois hit harder than Fury, but Fury might have been the one that hit him specifically the hardest. And preconceptions tmight come into it as well, where he was expecting heavy leather from the known punches but was surprised by the power from for example Fury, who is known for being more of a boxer.

    Browne sucks in almost every category bar power. He's clearly really heavy handed.

    Honestly, I don't care that these guys actually fought those guys, Chisora doesn't hit that hard. His track record proves it.

    Chisora said the hardest hitter he has ever faced is Paul Butlin.

    Chisora obviously hits hard. First Usyk now Allen. People on here getting there panties in a twist over it. Weirdos.

    Chisora is a volume puncher with mediocre power. He just doesn't hit that hard. If he was a truly devastating puncher, it would be obvious. He'd have more visible explosive shots and he'd have more clean KOs, period. There's way too many people going the distance with him without even so much as taking a knee.

    I'm just going by what the people who have fought him said, that’s all. If Uysk and Allen said he's the hardest hitter, who are we to judge otherwise. How many times have you been punched in the face by Chisora?

    I don't buy it, Chisora even in his prime wasn't noted as a particularly hard puncher.
