    He is up there. I think Carwin had more put you to sleep power at his weight. But Vitor certainly hits very hard.

    P4P at his weight he's most definitly up there. Most of his opponents have attested to this. Including guys reknowned for taking pain for no reason like Kevin Randleman.

    yeah hes very heavy handed but hes no k.o artist!
    for me someone whos being talked about as a p4p puncher need that 1 punch lights out power whereas page is very very heavy and hurtfull puncher but not 1 punch (not saying he cant k.o people with 1 shot)
    people like daley fedor carwin thats the sort that make p4p punchers list

    I suggest you read the thread title. If you want to wax philosphical over KO's and TKO's then start another thread.

    With Vitor it isn't just about his power. I don't think that he has as much thudding power as some other fighters... but I find it hard to find too many other fighters who punch with as much explosiveness as Vitor.

    No but he could have the fastest hands. Liddell-Carwin-Fedor and many heavyweights hits harder.
