na provodnikov i dont think hits as hard as ggg. his arent 1 punches, his are powerful punches without the extra snap and crispness for the 1hit ko. i like kovalev he hits ya and its really concussive.
Looks like Probably retired but Randall Bailey would get my vote. Haye punches above his weight. Kovalev as mentioned. I don't think provodnikov. He hits hard but not like an Adonis ~Stevenson,
GGG it is currently Provodinikov and matthysse overhelm you with lots of very hard punches but neither has that julian jackson type punching power - which is just 1-hit and you're out.
good call,i was going to mention julian jackson but based more on rumour as he was slightly before my time...didnt he end up with very bad eyes
lets keep it recent and current, too many to go through if he were going for 'of all time'' better for the classic forum
I'd say Haye since he's knocking out guys much heavier than he is. Pavlik was a murderous, heavy handed puncher in his 160 days.
Tim Bradley said that Matthysse hit a lot harder than Ruslan after their sparring sessions. GGG is probably the hardest puncher p4p.
