    The left hook that Helenius used to knock Sam Peter's block off was one of the best hooks I've seen in a long time.

    BTW I use the term "explosive power" to describe boxers who can blast an opponent down with a single punch.

    In no particular order:

    Wlad - no brainer here.

    Haye - Chisora KO puts him up there. P4P probably the hardest puncher in the heavyweight division.

    Price - not faced the best guys yet, but shows scary power in his right hand.

    Helenius - very heavy handed, KOed Brewster and Peter, two very tough guys.

    Mitchell - hard, concussive puncher with a bit of explosivity, knocked out the durable T. Ibragimov

    Walker - not a great fighter, but man can he crack!

    Abdulsalamov - just a really heavy, concussive guy who swings for the fences. His punches make big thudding noises when they land.

    Vitali - lost a lot of power in recent times, but still a very heavy handed guy.

    Mariusz Wach - just a horrible fighter, but a lot of power.

    Chris Arreola - not a huge one punch puncher, but a good finisher when he has his man hurt

    Pretty good, including the comments.

    - Except I'd rank Wilder higher, Mago a little lower, and I'd replace Vitali with Boytsov.

    Vitali is as strong as ever, just a bit slower so the punches have less velocity, I've no doubt his money punch is still a KO when landed flush on most fighters chins. We'll see with Charr who still has his 0 despite not being a worthy championship opponent.

    I think David Price's right hand is a force to be reckoned with. His last two fights have been cold knockouts against men that are half man and half cow.
