    Either Dempsey or Willard.

    Dempsey was miles better at punching, but Willard may edge him on one punch power. The safe and sure bet is Dempsey.

    Dempsey with out a shadow of a doubt. The man was a freak of nature.

    I got the right one. I am comparing super heavyweights to Dempsey.

    I would guess that Willard hit the hardest in terms of one punch power, but Dempsey was by far the best finisher.
