WTF are you talking about? We are talking about the hardest P4P puncher and you are bringing this. Jermain Taylor is not a world class opponent? You must be crazy if you think so.
Let Vitali or Vlad punch you, then let the others, if you are still alive. Highest KO ratios Vitali and Vlad.
Kirkland is a strong puncher but not a some big bomber like you claim, he is more of a volume puncher, i think Angulo hits harder. Id have to go with Maidana. Bailey was a good shout out. Im surprised no one has mentioned Gamboa he is up there too.
LMAO @ the simp who started the thread comparing Kirkland's power to Tyson's! Kirkland isnt a one punch KO artist by ANY means! AA, JuanMa, Bailey, Maidana, Allen Green, Cloud, and Angulo are the biggest punchers at the moment. David Lemeiux belongs up there too despite his lack of big opposition.
Dunno why people are mentioning Miranda. All the actual or fringe world class opponents he has been in the ring with survived his power. The most impressive stoppage on his resume is Howard Eastman and Eastman was on his feet and hadn't been down when stopped.
David Haye would have to be a good candidate. Outside of Tua ( who basically did it with 1 punch) Ive never seen Ruiz in that much trouble and the Maccarinelli fight was just ridiculous. Haye can seriously punch.
DAvid Haye is the next joke. Does he have a tough one-punch ?? please don't get me to kidding. Monte Barret, John Ruiz (both pastprime) always stood up and came in to fight after counts. David Haye had to be very busy for TKO his opponent and landing their several times till a referee stops fight. He has no power. Just give him a really prime heavyweight boxer and after I would say "i have a right, Hayemaker is nobody in HW"
