This poll was posted before Qilder KO stock went up, delete this poll & you will see Wilder on top with GGG & Kovalev
Usually Heavyweights do bad in P4P, Wilder power comes from 90% of Wlad weight. Wilder showing an edge in power despite weighing 10% less than Wlad. This is a P4P quality rarely found in Heavyweights, so Wilder is also leading P4P :boxer
Stuck in a crossroad between Golovkin or Kovalev. Both have demonstrated recently that they're monster punchers worthy of the mantle of being P4P hardest puncher. But if I have to give a slight advantage, it would be to Kovalev. Boone recounted on how Sergey hit harder than Stevenson, which pretty much solidifies his stance as the hardest puncher in the light heavyweight division, especially when considering Stevenson's first round annihilation of then champ Chad Dawson.
Who gives a **** what Boredley says. He's a well known liar who still dares to say he truly beat Pacquiao
I'd say in terms of concussive frightening power it has to be Kovalov, however Thurman is very explosive even if I don't rate him as a GREAT boxer as he gets hit a bit too much for my liking. Also others that aren't on this list that are real bangers are Sergio Thompson, Uchiyama. Ones to look out for in the future is a certain Dmitry Kudryashov.
Price should be on here. He's KO'd people with what appear to be half-assed little jabs. He's got scary power.
