I left out people that never faced significant opponents, or enough of them.

Zhilei Zhang 9.5/10 (dropped or KO'd everyone last few years)
Anthony Joshua 9/10 (great guy too)
Daniel Dubois 8.5/10 (could not dent Joyce who Zhang wrecked, let's not go too far)
Tyson Fury 7/10 (this is perfect number for Fury, can't underestimate punches but not naturally a KO artist)
Dillian Whyte 7/10 (difficult to know, Povetkin was shot, Browne KO'd in sparring already, etc.)
Filip Hrgovic 7/10 (I don't really know, but he's big so I guess at least this)
Joseph Parker 6.25/10 (rarely hurts anyone)
Oleksander Usyk 6/10 (needs a lot of shots or a perfect shot)
Agit Kabayel 6/10 (not convinced on his power)
Michael Hunter 6/10
Derek Chisora 6/10 (in his prime before big roids), 7/10 (after magical punching transformation)
Kubrat Pulev 5/10 (his lack of power is hard to explain, but he did KO Ustinov with one punch somehow.)

*Murat Gassiev 7/10 (unproven at HW really, based on sparring comments and maybe just an ahole that tries to KO people in spars)

AJ`s power is overrated.

For those who I have watched :
Oleksander Usyk 6/10 (slightly above average but more of an accumulation puncher)
Daniel Dubois 8,75/10 (explosive power)
Agit Kabayel 7/10 (good power but not great)
Joseph Parker 6,5/10
Fabio Wardley 9/10 (explosive power)
Anthony Joshua 9/10 (explosive power)
Tyson Fury 6,5/10 before 5/10 now
Martin Bakole 9/10 (heavy power)
Dillian Whyte 7,5/10
Efe Ajagba 8/10
Derek Chisora 7/10
Filip Hrgovic 8/10
Kubrat Pulev 5,5/10
Zhilei Zhang 9,5/10 (both heavy and explosive)
Jared Anderson 5/10 (average power)

Usyk hurt AJ early with a single shot

Badly hurt Belly with a single shot

KO'd Dubois with a jab

Knocked Allen senseless in the gym with a single shot, so much so Allen in his own words was KO'D on his feet and doesn't remember anything about the rest of the spar

I'm not saying he's a huge puncher but his power is underrated and is certainly not average

These are the tier 1 punchers in the HW division

Big Bang
AJ
Dubois
Dosser
Mak
Gassiev

Might be one or two others who could possibly belong in that tier

The rest reside in lower tiers

I'm not sure about that
Both punch incredibly hard, but I wouldn't be confident in calling one above the other in punching power but if I really had to guess would likely think Joshua is the harder one punch hitter

How you explain? A 213lb Usyk demolishing a 279lb man mountain in 2 rounds

Usyk has Ali type power--there when he needs it.

Rico Spadafora · Jun 20, 2025 at 5:36 AM

Fury is about a 6/10. He’s extremely feather fisted for his size.

I don`t think AJ punches that hard, his one punch finishes vs Francis and Helenius were impressive though.

Big tough Italian stallion. The 2nd Italian HW boxer or HW boxer Italian ancestry (3rd in total) to retire undefeated.

The list of SHW/SHW sized HWs Usyk has hurt is longer than the one he hasn't. Usyk can punch

Here's another giant Usyk slayed in the WSB. He doesn't stop him but he bullies him and you can clearly see he's feeling the weight of Usyk's shots

And those guys were 2 of the weakest giants Usyk beat in the WSB but you can clearly see Fa is a big, athletic, agile and fast for such a big man and Usyk is bullying the much bigger man

You can also clearly see that this prime version of Usyk was much faster, more agile, with much quicker reaction times and reflexes

Almost all of these are too high. Fury at 8/0, and Anderson at 9/10 border on the absurd.

That was exactly my reaction too - over-estimates virtually across the board

Parker has a poor KO rate despite sparking an out of shape Bakole.

These are not big names, being big doesn`t mean you can take a big shot.
