Do you think Joshua hits harder than Haye, Povetkin, Sanders, Peter or Brewster? Brewster and Sanders were around 225 lbs when they KTFO'd Klitschko. Joshua is 247 lbs, outweighs them by over 20 lbs. Is Joshua the most hardest hitter Wlad has faced?
Povetkin and Haye are barely real heavyweights. Those two scrubs belong in cruiserweight where they would lose against Usyk
Usyk would get ko'd by prime Haye imo. You have to be bigger and skilled for Haye, not same size without the ko shot
Sanders shot was fast and powerful, and better delivered than Joshua's. Can't tell if it's stronger for definate obviously. Joshua's seem more heavy accumulation than Sanders but sanders were devastatingly fast and could do the job with one down to his speed. You can see fellas bracing themselves with AJ's
This. Sanders was also a southpaw. Joshua might have more single punch power, but Sanders had crazy hand speed and punched in combinations, which are two things Wlad can't seem to handle. Joshua is powerful, but slow and rarely punches in combinations.
Of course Aj is the hardest puncher of all time, lots has to do with his insane ability to get off and land every shot in the books
Joshua has comparable power to the hardest punchers Wlad has fought, he has more than enough power to KO Wlad, but the real question is does he have the delivery to make that power count? How hard he exactly hits is a non factor, it's whether or not he can land with anywhere near full power.
