    An interesting thought. Dubois' knockout of AJ Carter was brutal. Having said that two other guys have knocked Carter out in similar fashion as well. All this fighting blown up light heavies & cruiserweights isn't enough for me to believe just yet that Dubois is the biggest hitter.

    As terrible as his resume is, Wilder does wield cosmic power in that right hand.

    I think Wlad had the most one punch KO power too, but more than that he had the skills, timing and variety to land that power (from both hands as well) against pretty much everybody not named Tyson Fury. Joshua's stoppages come mostly from volume. He hits a guy once with a concussive shot, that guy shells up, and then Joshua unleashes hooks and uppercuts before the ref steps in. That's why I voted Wilder. He may have no hook or uppercut game to speak of but his straight right hand is more powerful than any other single punch in the division right now and he's shown that with a couple of "RJJ Zombie punch KOs" against Long and Szpilka.

    But I don't think that will stop him from getting sparked the moment he gets in with a top 5 opponent.

    I absolutely agree about Joshua. He is probably the most dangerous fighter out there but not because of absolute punching power. It's a combination of fast & accurate combos, power, physical strength and killer instinct. In terms of single shot power he is clearly very good but I don't think he's a true one punch hitter.
