    Beterbiev currently. And I say him over Wilder because he has obliterated the top of his respective division. Wilder has not.

    Inoue...this guy smacks world class opposition inside 3 rounds...truly a monster..Wilders right has put every opponent he has faced down...Lara has that special crunch in his punches..you could see it already in the first round vs Harrington...time will tell if he is a small mans Julian Jackson

    Beterviev is the heaviest handed, closely followed by Inoue, imo.

    Wilder has the biggest single shot KO power, again followed closely by Inoue, imo.

    A short punch, thrown without full leverage, as part of combination - Beterviev > Inoue > Wiider.

    In application*, a punch thrown as a single shot, with feet planted and full leverage - Wilder > Inoue > Beterviev

    *"in application" specified as Beterviev may well be capable of throwing the hardest single punch, pfp, against a static object, but perhaps doesnt have the explosive speed and/or style to actually land a home run punch he puts everything into, in application against a live opponent.

    Wilder. He barely grazed Fury and knocked him out cold but got robbed due to the long ass count in the first fight.

    If the question is about power, then Wilder is the answer.

    You have to differ:
    There are extremely heavy handed punchers but not one punch ko guys, but they also have one punch knockouts, but more punching someone into submission, the problem is that all their punches are extremely heavy and damaging.

    For example:
    Today: Beterbiev, GGG, kovalev, joshua, joyce
    Past: foreman, vitali, valero, shavers.

    Then you have the real one punch knockout artists, but they punch often with less power before they unleash their power punch.
    Today: inoue, wilder, lemieux, gassiev
    Past: wlad (he is both), Abraham, Roy Jones junior, Jackson, tyson, Naseem Hamed, Stevenson.

    The heavy handed punchers are way worse to fight, because it's always a fight about willpower, stamina, guts and confidence.
