    Top 3 for me are:

    Wilder - Otherworldly power, anything he touches turns to dust.

    GGG - Incredible power, similar to HW power.

    Inoue - Little man has hands of thunder

    P4P no 1 Puncher in boxing today is Beterbiev nobody so far in his pro career has even managed to hear the final bell ! He stands in a very special club at the moment alongside Valero.

    Inoue
    Beterbiev
    Wilder
    These guys stands out, especially Wilder.

    I think GGG’s power is a myth, don’t get me wrong, GGG has power but not as devastating as ppl make it out to be.

    His KO% speaks for itself but I also think it’s because of his relentless pressure his KO% is 100.

    Inoue.
    Crawford.
    Beterbiev.

    I’ll put Golovkin as an honorable mention as he seems done with boxing.

    I think all the guys I mentioned hit harder than Wilder, and they can do what Wilder does to low level competition and old men with any punch, often times rather casually, not just reliant on an overloaded right cross.

    Think Wilder is in a league of his own for many reasons. Near Anorexic guy sending far heavier guys to the shadow realm consistently.

    The other P4p have good solid punching power but they arent sleeping or starfishing guys like Wilder is, or doing it consistently or at significant weight disadvantages

    Beterbiev KO all the champions and everybody else.

    Inoue can't even KO old donaire in the first fight.

    There are different types of power and different types of punchers

    Beterbiev has a KO 100% and has dropped and obviously stopped every man who has stepped into a ring with him as a pro, including many who'd never previously been legitimately stopped before

    The Dosser has that crazy one shot KO power but he's a janitor bashing one-trick pony who swings from the bowels of hell with the only weapon in his arsenal. Janitor level comp, metal hand, and fixes aside,The Dosser does possess scary one shot KO power.

    Inoue is a leprechaun who hits like a giant. He looks like a FTM K-pop band member who couldn't wobble a toddler with a sledgehammer for goodness sake. He's like the complete opposite of uber-masculine wolfman beasts like Beterbiev and Gassiev :facepalm:

    He's like a big hearns without boxing skillls. Had emanuel Steward been alive an trained Wilder from the beginning he would have turned him into a great fighter.

    I think guys like Inoue, GGG, and Beterbiev obviously have good power, but they’re not big one hitters.

    I think these are some of the genuine punchers in the sport:

    Los Santos
    Lara
    Wilder
    Zhang
    Kavaliauskas
    Lemieux (think he retired)
    Gassiev
    Smith Jr

    If Steward had trained him, he would of ended up more like a heavyweight McCellan than Hearns.

    We know Wilder fell in love with his power and wouldn't work on his weaknesses under Breland. Not sure he had the temperament to become much more than he ended up being even if Steward had been his trainer.
