Top 10 Hardest punchers in the heavyweight division.

Wilder's way too high.

Owen Beck, who has sparred and fought Wilder (the later being when Beck was absolutely shot to ribbons and was on a seven fight losing streak, six via KO, and the lone time he lasted the distance being a four rounder against a guy who was making his debut, said Wilder hits like a girl. Beck has shared a ring with most of the top HWs in the world, be it sparring or an actual real fight.

Interviewer: ''Everyone talks about Wilder's big punch and his KO ratio 33 fights, 33 KOs. Does he really hit that hard?''

Owen Beck: ''He doesn't.

''You heard me say he hits like a girl.''

''He's dirty''

''He couldn't knock me out could he?''

''Monte Barrett hits harder than Wilder''

''David Rodriguez hits harder than Wilder''

Interviewer: ''There's a big debate as to whether Wilder's power is overrated.''

OB: ''I don't respect his power. I've got young amateurs in my gym who hit harder than him. I've got 152lb fighter in my gym who hits harder than Deontay and this kid only has 3 amateur fights.''

''I'm not going to try and take too much away him or anything but I don't respect his power.''

''If you're over 200lbs you can punch. But like I said, I didn't see nothing from Wilder that I would respect''

Haye should be on that list too.

 

Haye's a HW who hasn't retired and he can punch like a mule kick, therefore Serge concludes that he is indeed one of the hardest punching HWs in the world. But I understand where you are coming from good sir.

 

My top 10? I'd have to give it a little thought to be honest. Too late for that now. Wlad's number one. Haye's top 5 IMO, maybe slightly higher. Price, Stiverne, Povetkin, Wilder and Mansour can definitely bang and put your lights out. Haven't seen much of Wach but I have seen him score a couple of highlight reel finishes. I'm not sold on Joshua's power. Don't get me wrong, he can obviously hit very hard but I don't think he's a one punch put your lights out kind of guy (well, I haven't seen anything to suggest that yet anyway). His speed impresses me more than anything.

 

I'd drop Stiverne down and move Mansour and Povetkin but other than that your list sounds about right.
