Rank 10 biggest punchers in boxing right now, not P4P. (Consider Wilder retired)

You don't need to consider Wilder retired. Wilder got exposed as a bum with hyped up power the first time he fought a live body.

 

Inoue
Tank
Beterbiev
Bakole
Zhang
Benavidez
Nakatani
Anthony Joshua
Canelo
Crawford

 

He said NOT P4P

 

Wilder doesn't consider Wilder retired.

 

doesn't seem like the most awful of lists...some switching within it would not be out of bounds, imo

 

Zhang
AJ
Bakole
Dubois
Whyte
Probably my top 5, you could make a case for Fury or Usyk but I think their effectiveness is more due to the quality of their punches than the sheer power.

 

I know luckily for me pound for pound is not a definitive and is an interpretation with undefined criteria that is used to justify opinion.
So it cannot be calculated and will always be disputable.
I should also say that if I were to do my pound for pound it would probably be the most easily disputable pound for pound list out there.

 

Not p4p just means a HW list

 

1. Inoue
2. Beterbiev
3. Tank
4. Zhang
5. Aj

 

Zhang - For obvious reasons, I doubt we'll see anyone else face plant Joyce like that.

Joshua - His power is more proven right now than others, some might hit harder but they haven't KO'd the level of guys he has and proven it conclusively to me.

Dubois - Stopping Hrgovic was impressive, Hrgovic can take a punch as the Zhang/Hrgovic fight showed.

Bakole - Stopping Anderson is impressive but other than Martin how well tested is Anderson's chin? Takam KO was good but Takam's gets stopped by almost everyone. But he might be the biggest puncher of them all for all we know, he just needs to get those fights to really test his power.

Whyte - He might be past his best, but power is the last thing to go and he still has that counter left hook that stopped Chisora and dropped Parker.

Ortiz - He's older than Methuselah but he still got that punch. He's still a legit puncher and might rank higher on pure power but he's rarely fought at the top level to prove his power against the best in the division. He could honestly be as high up as 3 behind Joshua but we don't know and I can't rank him higher just based on KOing inferior opposition.

Ajagba - Clearly a big puncher, but hasn't made that step up in level and proved it against better quality chins. Again he might hit harder than some above him but hasn't proved it yet.

Joyce - Not a huge puncher like the others on the list but he does have heavy hands and he did stop Parker, did stop Takam and broke Dubois orbital socket with his jab.

Makhmudov - I'm struggling now, but I guess Mr Twitchy, he might not have anything else but he can clearly punch. He couldn't stop Takam so he's below Joyce for me.

Wardley - 16KO's from 17 wins, had Clarke down too. I guess he's the next best proven puncher for me. Guys like Jalalov and Itauma might hit harder but there competition has been too low in quality to really assess it.

 

Hrgovic was stopped due to a cut,
He wasn't off his feet or knocked out
Not saying it wasn't a good win for Dubois though

 

True though he was clearly hurt a few times in the fight. Hrgovic has hell of a chin.

 

based on what exactly?
