    Alright boys and gals. Let me hear who you think has the most concussive force punch for punch out of these two fighters. My pick is Stevenson.

    This is NOT a P4P discussion.

    Stevenson has power at LHW, Julian Jackson fought at LMW/MW.

    P4P though, I'd venture Jackson the harder puncher.

    No P4P. :nono

    This is a discussion debating the raw power of each man.

    If both men were to whack a heavy bag, who would do so with more succinct force?

    Probably Adonis in that case. Who do you think hits harder. Dennis lebedev or Adonis Stevenson. 20lb weight difference.

    I don't know about that one. Lebedev to me doesn't seem to that much of a big puncher.

    Lebedev can whack alright. One of the harder hitting cruisers. Adonis left hand is atomic but his all round power isn't huge, I don't think I've seen him ko people with right hooks yet maybe I'm wrong.

    Wouldn't necessarily consider Adonis's left hand atomic because otherwise I wouldn't have presented this poll against a middleweight that is considerably smaller than Adonis.

    But also remember, Adonis did fight at 168 before.

    As an obvious kovalev fan, I'll admit that stevensons left hand is a very hard punch. You neutralise that, and he's not very good.

    Easy to overlook that JJs highlight reels consist of 90% nobodies. Obviously the guy could punch but it's not like he was knocking out guys like Hopkins or Toney month in month out.

    OTOH Stevenson ain't usually separating guys from their senses with one punch KOs (Dawson excepted) in the way JJ would.

    I think I'd have go with Stevenson as the bigger guy, though there's no real way of telling.

    Will be interesting to see what he can do with Sukhotski though - he's another like Edwards, George, Cloud and Bellew who'd never been stopped before fighting Stevenson.

    Logic would say the hard hitting natural light heavy hits harder than the natural light middle.

    Impossible to say really though. We never saw Jackson face men as big as Stevenson and who's to say he couldn't spark out much bigger men, his power was scary, he just put people to sleep when he connected.

    I really think stevensons power is slightly overrated. He one shotted Dawson with a shot on the temple and stopped bellew who is domestic level at best. Look at how fonfara and cloud took his best shots.
