P4P who currently has the most powerful punch in boxing?

Wlad

“I think based on this performance here and his own conversations with me in the recent days that he realizes that he is actually too reluctant, too intelligent, too technical—that I think you’re going to see a much more aggressive fighter in Wladimir. If this man actually would just operate with close to 80%—he’s only operating with about 60%—he would be the most devastating heavyweight in the history of boxing because I’ve worked with him. Never, ever, ever have I been involved with a fighter who has so much one punch punching power. Even guys that knock somebody out—they get them hurt, they knock them down, they get them groggy—Wladimir is the only fighter I’ve ever worked with that everything can be normal like a big party—everybody is having champagne, on the floors, in the tuxedos, with the music—and the lights go off completely at one time. I mean it’s not like a gradual dimmer switch. I never saw anyone who knocked out people in a gym when they block punches and he did that about three weeks ago with a sparring partner—two weeks ago, prior to the fight. With a sparring partner he threw a left hook, the sparring partner blocked the punch and with twenty ounce gloves he was still knocked out. He has unbelievable one punch punching power and that’s why maybe he doesn’t put combinations together because he punches so effectively and with so much power with one punch, but his handicap and problem is he feints too much. He wants everything to be perfect—perfect balance, perfect this, and the last round he was a little overly aggressive, got out of position a few times, but to go three minutes with a guy with his power is like a lifetime because even if he just grazes you with a punch, you’re going to be hurt.”

Yeah, its probably Wladimir

 

I remember few months ago a thread like this was made, Wlad and Bailey were a the top. Idm saying Wlad personally

 

abraham, bailey....

 

Abraham maybe as his whole style is based on low output and hard hitting and he's been quite successful at it.

 

It's not Wlad given he's one of the biggest fighters in the sport. - lb for lb means regardless of size.

Pound for pound...he is a huge guy, and thus has power befitting a man of his size.

Haye is koing, hurting and dropping people 30 to 100lbs more than him(value is what315 lbs?). That's the definition of pound for pound power.

Same with Chisora, he was what? 245? Haye came in around 210 and ruined him. When 3 250+ fighters (helennius, Vitali, fury) could not so much as seriously hurt him

Pacquiao is similar. He is a fighter who has managed to carry his power up multiple divisions to the point where he is rocking and hurting someone like Antonio margarito

But yeah, name me a curret guy who has hurt and KOd people with the weight disparity haye has?

 

David Haye. I reckon there's not much between his and Wlad's power except Haye is at least 30 pounds heavier.

 

Abraham. He punched harder than Golovkin does as a Middleweight.

 

Donaire.

 

Niether Golovkin or Abraham could finish Medhi Bhoualda, Kessler made mince meat of him :hey

 

hard to say. If a guy stood there and let him hit him probably Bailey. But Donaire is the one I like as far as being able to connect.

 

Pound for pound

Not Wlad...

 

he has a good punch. His right hand is not Lennox level, but it is good.

 

Golovkin or Haye.
