Rate the punching power from 1-10 of today's top 20 heavyweights.

Zhilei Zhang 10
Anthony Joshua 9
Joseph Parker 8
Daniel Dubois 8
Joe Joyce 8
Filip Hrgovic 8
Martin Bakole 8
Tyson Fury 7
Agit Kabayel 7
Luis Ortiz 7
Dereck Chisora 7
Arslanbek Makhmudov 7
Oleksandr Usyk 6

I've removed some of these options because they haven't been adequately tested enough yet to know or they're just irrelevant fighters.

Also removed Wilder because it's difficult to know what he is at. If this was 2020 I'd say 10.

 

Oleksandr Usyk 6
Anthony Joshua 8
Joseph Parker 7
Tyson Fury 7
Daniel Dubois 9
Agit Kabayel 7
Zhilei Zhang 9
Joe Joyce 7
Filip Hrgovic 8
Luis Ortiz 7
Otto Wallin 6
Murat Gassiev 7
Efe Ajagba 8
Jared Anderson 8
Deontay Wilder 9 (He's not what he used to be)
Martin Bakole 8
Kubrat Pulev 6
Arslanbek Makhmudov 8
Bakhodir Jalolov 8

 

Andy Ruiz Jr must be in top 3 in those lists.

 

Jared Anderson a 9? Im a fan but I don’t think he hits that hard. Bakole hits harder than him.

 

Oleksandr Usyk - 4
Anthony Joshua - 8
Joseph Parker - 7
Tyson Fury - 6
Daniel Dubois -8
Agit Kabayel - 6
Zhilei Zhang - 8.5
Joe Joyce - 7
Filip Hrgovic - 7
Otto Wallin - 5
Murat Gassiev - 4
Deontay Wilder - 10
Dereck Chisora 7
Martin Bakole 8

 

Usyk only at 4 despite the fact he hurt Chisora, AJ and stopped Dubois?

 

I think we forgot about Frank Sanchez... again.

Frank Sanchez - 7

 

And what do all three of them men have in common when they were hurt by Usyk?

oh yea they were gassed out taking clean shots like heavybags. You let a 215 pound man level off on you or run into him it's going to hurt.

Usyk has good pop but gets stoppages through attrition. He basically just waited for Bellew to gas knowing he'd chin him down the stretch.

Fury is exactly the same but has an extra 50 pounds which makes his pop more spiteful rated at a 6 but he still relies on attrition.

If I go off Boxrec for top 20 and a couple other honourable mentions for HWs.

Usyk 6 (so skilled he doesn't need power)
Fury 8 (underrated power)
Joshua 9
Parker 7.5
Dubois 9 (not sure how Joyce took those shots to the chin early in the fight)
Kabayel 7.5
Zhang 9.5 (2nd below Wilder and Ngannou)
Joyce 8
Hrgovic 8 (could be higher tbh)
Ortiz 8 (underrated power)
Wallin 6.5
Gassiev 8 (underrated power)
Ajagba 8
Lerena 6.5
Anderson 7.5
Wilder 11 - seriously.
Chisora 7.5
Bakole 8 (similar to Hrgovic)
Pulev 6.5
Makhmudov 8.5



Whyte 8.5 (bit suprised that he hasnt been listed once prior my post - but can understand)
Jalolov 8.5
Ruiz 8
Ngannou 11 - seriously again.
Sanchez 7
