    He almost knocked out Fury, I think he has decent power...

    He hurt Fury, and teeing off on him while chasing him around a ring didn't actually deck him. Fury isn't that hard to deck. Usyk is only of average power at heavyweight. Only a 60% KO ratio.

    Also this list is just wild. How do you only separate Fury and AJ in power by one point? Fury had a whole fight, couldn't even hurt Ngannou; AJ drilled his head through the canvas with one punch. And Whyte? Seriously? You have Whyte, Fury, and Usyk at the same power level? There's huge difference in power between Whyte and the other two.

    I do agree there are a lot of 8's and 9's in the division (your cohort of Dubois, AJ, Wardley, Bakole, etc), with Zhang being the 10, but you have some guys listed way too high. The way you do it though, you're giving no differentiation from someone who is clearly a damaging puncher like Kabayel or Chisora from someone like Usyk on one end, and from someone who has one punch KO power like Zhang on the other end.

    Respectfully, your list needs some work.

    Both Fury & Usyk have rubbish power only a fool tries to argue otherwise.

    Their lack of power is the reason they are both at the very top by a fair margin. Had to rely on skills to pay the bills and raw sex factor. Not crude plodding power punchers.

    Fury & Usyk are 6/7 on the power rating at best, very much arm punchers half the time. Fury also now has bad elbows so the power in his straight and jab is gone, he still throws awkward shots and well timed shots the same as Usyk. Both get stoppages on attrition.

    Itauma punches harder than Anderson, Wardley needs to knock out a top 10 heavy before his power is graded a 10 and Dubois doesn`t have one punch KO power so he should rate 9/10.

    Fury isn`t a big puncher but is heavy handed because of his size, the hardest shot he ever landed was vs Whyte, it was a beautiful shot.

    Whyte`s punches had no effect on his last opponent.

    Almost all of these are too high. Fury at 8/0, and Anderson at 9/10 border on the absurd.

    Daniel Dubois is a notable Heavyweight who he stopped. I'd say his power is a 7.5

    Listen to every heavyweight or cruiser who sparred or fought Murat Gassiev about his power.

    I'd say the top ones are for power are

    Zhang 10
    Wardley 10
    Gassiev 10
    Dubois 9
    Joshua 9
    Torrez 9
    Sirenko 8.5
