Maidana (before the Khan fight). Because the sheer mention of him now would have some people go into a rage of utter denial at who they say he was.
Some of us (and a detailed search into my post history will prove it) were saying that Maidana's power was overrated well before Khan-Maidana was even made. We (and by we I mean me) also said that Khan would beat Maidana via easy decision. He had a lot of KOs, but very few, (if any, because I've personally seen footage of none) one-punch KOs. He makes people want to quit, but doesn't spark them out. Couple that with the fact that he got out-pointed by a guy Khan beat easily, and you have what I thought would be a mismatch. But it was actually better than I thought.
Maidana, Gamboa and Juanma are the heardest punchers in the game...bottom line. They're records say it all. Maidana has hah problems knocking the top fighters at 140 down thought...that I will say. Gamboa and Juanma are already proven.
Wlad. Although everyone else mentioned are worthy. Even Haye. Some spectacular KO's are product of perfect timing and placement. While Wlad can hurt you anytime from any punch.
Gamboa, are you kidding me?:think David Haye is propably bigger puncher than Wlad if they were same size. Haye punch like ****in Mule.
yeah David Haye is a small heavyweaight but punches hardest in the division with exception to a few fighters that weight over 250
He's a big puncher but not at the same level as Wlad. Haye has never punched anyone to sleep. In my opinion his best knockout (of the three in total) was Alexander Gurov back in 2005. That was a powerful bomb and I don't understand how Gurov managed to get on his feet.. This angle doesn't give the justice it deserves but anyway..

Since you have that Avatar, I am assuming you know a bit about that fight. Why wouldn't Mayweather allow Zab to wear the 8oz gloves that he normally wears and were also what he requested for this fight ,? Why not?
No one has mentioned Golovkin. He's on there. In recent times CW Jirov weighed in at 209 and in the ring was only 204 yet managed to hurt Mesi badly 3 times. Jirov also fought when CW was 190 lb limit and was naturally about 185-190lbs, much smaller than Haye. I bet that quite a few current CW's power would translate to HW with guys like Frenkel, Lebedev, Alekseev and perhaps Drozd and Hukic. We just don't get to witness it that frequently Agreed. His right hand is absolutley nasty and probably next best after Klychko. Angulo has a good punch but i think there are a few 154lb guys that can hit as hard in Konecny, Bundrage, Cintron and perhaps guys like Baysangurov and Lara
