    Tank has more one punch KO`s but Duran floored a middleweight and floored a 154lbs champ which P4P is a bigger display of punching power than knocking out fighters 140 and under, it`s a close comparison though, I don`t Tank could have taken Duran`s power but Duran could have taken Tank`s best shots since he took Leonard and Hagler`s, Hearns sparked Duran but Tommy punched far harder than Tank and was far bigger.

    Duran could KO guys without having to drain the life out of them on the scales or by getting pity stoppages from refs on the regular. Clearly Duran.

    Let me see Tank take out elite guys before I put him on that tier of power.

    Tank has more 1 punch power, but no way could he stop a 154lbs champ or floor a middleweight champ.

    Elite guys at weights higher than 140 also.

    It is close because Tank has more 1 punch KO`s however he hasn`t dropped any fightes as big as Barkley or Moore.

    Please don’t mention ‘tank’ in the same sentence as Duran.

    Duran had more power, stronger, tougher and just a much better fighter.

    I chose Tank but with a caveat. Tank has better one punch power than Roberto but Duran has better overall power. This means that Duran's punches hurt guys even when they weren't thrown with bad intentions. Duran's punches consistently hammered his opponents into submission. Tank hardly ever hurts a guy until he really hurts them.

    Arguello 1 pounch KO power at 130 was greater, but I think Tank has better power at 135. Duran at 135 all day had more power than Tank.

    Duran stops Tank by bodyshot KO round 5.

    Wahid’s vaunted power would evaporate against an elite fighter like Duran. All we’d see is the effects of Duran’s power as he crushes Wahid.

    Duran is better (obviously). Tank might have more 1 punch power
