    Szpilka is a natural cruiserweight who has fought mostly as a flabby heavyweight, he's been dropped I think about 11 times in his career, there is actually a video of all his knockdowns, he's the chinniest heavyweight of any status in the last 20 years, including David Price

    There's also Eric Molina. He's chinny, got took out in a round by Arreola, and he took Wilders power pretty well for most of the fight (Wilder went life and death with him, getting wobbled himself), he was visibly scared against Joshua, turning his back on him and Joshua almost knocked his head into the 7th row, stopping him easily

    Anyone who says Joshua doesn’t carry power is either a moron or is carrying an agenda.

    Or likely both.

    You mean wilder the same guy that was bounced around the ring by someone who isn’t even a puncher and who literally admitted he ducked aj. Let me guess, you also think fury is a “cheater”

    Good post. Also he's the only person to have stopped Whyte before that beautiful punch from Povetkin (himself a big puncher).

    On both KDs?

    I think we have to seperate here:

    Who has the hardest one-punch-KO shot?
    Wilder. On a scale from 0-10 he has a 10.

    Who is able to KO people with blind punches because he hits directly the same moment when his opponent punches?
    Whyte.

    And this is why Whyte brought down Parker and Povetkin twice, and send Browne into a coma for 2-3 minutes.

    Whyte is the best of all current HWs in landing blind punches which hurt most.
    His secret is he basically threws a punch almost in the same moment when his opponent threws one. The opponent absolutely doesnt see the punch coming, and those punches have usually the biggest damage.

    Whyte could bring down the iron chin Parker, who was never down before or since. And this is because the scenario i just described.

    For the MMA people:

    Remember in 2007 or 2008 when iron chin Mark Hunt got KOed by the little fast puncher Melvin Manhoef.

    This was because Hunt basically run into a punch from Manhoef, he didnt saw it coming. And all MM people knows how much punches Hunt usually can take.
    This is Whyte´s method to KO or KD almost anyone he faced. He also put Chisora to sleep with such a blind punch.



    Punching power in pure strenght (kg/lb):
    1) Wilder
    2) Joshua
    ...

    KO power (combination of power, speed, timing, accuracy + able to hit ppl with blind shots):
    1) Wilder´s right hand
    2) Whyte´s right hand
    3) AJ


    Whyte´s blind punches have imo more KO power then any of AJ´s shots, but only because they connect when ppl dont see them coming.

    By blind punching you’re referring to catching your opponent cold, right? I’d say Povetkin is better personally. Though they’re not nearly as wild and risky as Whyte’s. Povetkin appears to be much more technical is his approach, but some of his KO’s are brutal.

    A travesty that his prime was in the Wlad era.

    Povetkin technically is better I think.
    If Pov was 30-34 y.o and 245-250 lber you had saw difference.

    Yes. If you mean by "catching your opponent cold" basically "you hit your opponent with a punch he doesnt see coming" thats what i mean. Those shots usually hurt the most.
    Haye was able to hit Valuev many times during their 12 round fight in 2009. But only once he was able to catch him cold in the 12th, and this did hurt Valuev big time. He was not hurt by any other shot of Haye since he saw them all coming.

    Povetkin is also damn good in this, i agree with you. He KOd Dillian with such a blind shot.

    I know that but Parker would of never been dropped by that left hook if it wasn’t for the headbutt.
