Is Haye the hardest puncher at CW ever? How does his power compares to e.g. Bell who at some point was like 25-1 (23 KOs). Of course Adamek beat the faded out Bell, not even the one from first JMM fight.
As we now KNOW how average fighters can KO Macca, it's time to put the "hardest puncher of any weight EVER" myth to a rest. How many punches did he need to KO a completely shot over the hill dead man walking Barrett ? He KOs fighters with accumulation. A fighter who is "the hardest puncher at CW" wouldn't need to. Thing is, he has good power and the skill and athleticism to land. Alexeev is easily a harder puncher at CW, but was too easy to hit and with a bit of amateurish mentality when it came to being clever enough to avoid trading with an iron chinned foe in Ramirez who just wouldn't go. Same way as Haye kept trying to KO Thompson, gassing.
