    He doesn't go for the knockout early because he would gas himself out. He fights at that measured pace because there's no way he could wing a hundred punches a round and still remain on his feet if the fight went 12 rounds.

    I sort of thought his stamina would improve going to 168 but he still has the same problems. There's no doubt though that he's one of the biggest power punchers in the sport next to Valero. It's just too bad he fires under 15 punches a round on average and starts fights incredibly slow.

    If AA ever finds himself behind on the cards late in the fight and can't produce the spectacular KO he will most certainly lose a decision.

    Definitely in the top 3. It is really hard to tell when you get up that high. He probably has the most raw power in that he doesn't need to land multiple punches to end your night. He has delivered some devestating KO's, and as of late no one has produced as many chilling highlight real worthy KO's as Arthur.

    i say its arguable simply because i can think of other people, like quillin and tua. but he's definitely without a question ONE of the hardest punchers today.

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLnFatRcKl4[/ame] what ever happened to Eric Fields?
    And where does Peter Quillin fit in in terms of P4P power?

    I think Darchinyan's probably too powerful for his own good; he neglects his skills because of it. Whether or not he's more powerful, AA is more effective with his strength.

    Haye isn't even the hardest puncher in his own division, or his own country. He landed how many punches on Monte before that one went down for good ? Solis landed ONE true powerpunch and it was over. Haye = athletic skills in landing with some good amount of power, not "crazy" power, let alone p4p. He had Macca stunned, not out with the hook he landed flush, and needed another 10 free shots at a stupid Macca trying to avoid the knee to spark him out. 10 free shots of Solis and Macca would be on ICU.

    Nice compilation of KO's! The left hook on Gevor is downright brutal.

    I'd say he is P4P one of the hardest punchers in the sport. He said in interviews that he used to love watching Mike Tyson. Some of those punches remind me of Iron Mike.

    well it doesn't take a genius to see that the klitschkos punching power is overrated, i cant really say if haye is stronger than them, but in terms of putting opponents away then haye blows both klitschkos out the water. dont twist your panties in a knot when someone doesn't add either klitschko to their list. there are people on here that didn't include tua on their list, and im not saying anything.
