Because people like to go on about Vitali having the highest KO ratio of any heavyweight champ and some peope turn that into him being the hardest hitter ever. Wlad probably does have more one punch KO power though, or at least as much.
I put this up a few weeks ago in the morning before I went to work. I'll do the ****ing thing again, I know you're not having a go but a few people have pointed out names that should be up there. If it was: Jaunma Abraham Haye Wlad Darchinyan Valero Vit Roman Gonzalez Any complaints?
I voted "other" because I think Valero and Darchinyan belong on the list. Abraham's power is generally a bit over rated. He is most certainly very heavy handed, but there is a long list of mediocre middleweights who took AA past 10 rounds. For example, the same version of Eastman that went the distance with AA got sparked in 7 by Miranda. If we are talking strictly one-punch KO power, Pavlik doesn't belong on the list. It's ironic because KP is one of the best KO artists in the sport, but he basically does it by being a heavy handed bully with a high work rate. That's not the same thing as concussive power.
Aurthur Abrham ROFL!!!!!! he knos a guy who had the crap beaten out of him by Pavlik prior.! David Haye easy---Earny shavers pure brute force
my vote goes to gamboa, but i suppose abraham could just as easily have been the right chioce. i also think urango should be on the list.
aa k.o's people like no other. brutal stuff. but for brute strength im going to go with the hayemaker
I think the hardest hitter P4P is Pacquaio. The way he knocked down Jmm 3 times in the first round, that was amazing. It blew me away when I saw it. Also, the way DLH face looked, showed me the power. I think Arreola has very heavy hands too. Haye, I don't know what to think of him yet. He knocked down Barrett pretty good, but didn't the big ugly Valuev do the same thing? Again, I go with Pacquaio.
