    just curious since the demise of Valero, do people think Amir Khan beat the P4P best puncher in the world last night? who else is there? obviously Abraham at 160 had a fair old dig and our own david haye could stake a claim and at the lower weights De Leon and Katsidis can both bang. Have i overlooked anyone? and who do people think is the most muderous puncher?

    Cant really look past the top man in the Heavyweight division. Whilst not murderous he probably has the highest level ko record.

    I never believed Maidana was a life-taker. Heavy handed, but not some one punch KO monster ala Hearns. His poor technique diminishes the power he might have.

    I'm not sure who's got serious power right now...

    Valero was never the P4P best puncher in the world at any time.

    Yeah I did think twice about katsitis as he is not really a puncher more a slugger but I had the Earl and Mitchell fights fresh in the memory!

    i think from the fighters i've seen and know...hayes is up there....p4p hardest hitter...maidana is top 5 for sure. check out maidana one punch ko's on youtube...ok, some were against tomatoe cans...but still guy punches very hard... and tough sob to stand up after being dropped by liver shot..... pacman since moving up....shows he has great punching power p4p too.

    wladimir klitschko is the p4p heavyst hitter by far

    if he connects with a flush right hand he hurts his opponents bad or knocks them done, if he connects flush with his left hook he knocks them cold out
