Top 5 p4p hardest punchers in the sport?

1-2. Inoue and Wilder
3. Beterbiev
4. Davis
5. Ruvingsai

 

Wilder

Then a long gap

And someone else


209 pounds ffs

 

It did say p4p..
So it’s not necessary that Wilder should top the list.

 

P4P it seems to be Gojira Inoue

 

1. Inoue
2. Wilder
3. Beterbeiv
4. Gassiev
5. Davis

I would've had GGG like 3 years ago, but he's aged and clearly slowed down. I would've had Kovalev and Stevenson but ones retired and the other is well past his best so I'll leave them off

 

I believe it is necessary, pound for pound, Wilder does more damage that anyone. That give's him priority in the list.

 

And he's doing it against guys that outweigh him by a lot too. It's remarkable really

 

Think most people have it spot on. I'm not sure about Davis being in the top 5 yet as he's fought one useful fighter in his own weight class. He definitely hits hard but top 5? I want to see a little more first. In terms of raw power I suspect Kudryashov would be in there but he just doesn't have the skills to land on top fighters without getting iced himself.

Honourable mention for El Hombre de Piedra - Ruben Angel Mino!

 

The same case could be made for David Price

 

Gassiev after not having to cut weight anymore will be the hardest. Watch.

Beterbiev, Sirenko, Ruvingsai and GGG

 

1-Wilder
2-Gassiev
3-Ortiz/AJ
4-Beterbiev
5-Dubois ( no joke !! )

 

Not sure about top 5 but Wilder at #1 by a mile, followed by Inoue and Beterbiev. I'm not getting the Gassiev connection, sure, overall he's assuredly one of the biggest bangers in the game, but he was a big/good sized CW, probably bigger than Wilder in terms of pure mass, so I don't get how he has p4p type C4 like Wilder. GGG maybe in the top 5, 3-4 years ago he would have been a shoe in for top 3 but I think he's lost a little. Ditto Kovalev and Stevenson.

On raw power alone, Kudrayashov is a damn good shout, but in the end it's a moot point as he's too slow and primitive to get off properly and land.

 

He actually has more of an argument that most as he's fighting in an unlimited weight division and tends to fight at the lighter end of the scale. What other fighter mentioned in this thread routinely knocks out and hurts men that outweigh him by twenty or more pounds?

 

Inoue?
