    i really think that wladimir klitschko is the biggest puncher ever.

    he is a 6.6 tall completly ripped and blessed with great boxing skills modern nutrition fighter.

    and in helenius we are seeing the next real big puncher.

    all time

    1. Wlad
    2. Foreman
    3. Shavers
    4. Tyson
    5. Lewis

    no problem it's your opinion, but it you think scientificaly, look at the facts:

    wlad:

    6.6 , 245 pounds, perfect boxing ability and skills. and will have >50 ko's in 60 fights. about 25 ko's against todays quality opposition.
    and roach, shields, stewart all said that they are or were shocked how hard he hits. wlad has the real type of one punch ko power. the bad thing is that he doesn't hit with full force normaly

    the guy has very good nutrition, the best training. imo he is the biggest puncher ever

    -size doesnt define power-if it did valuev should be one of the biggest punchers.

    -The quality of opposition is too weak to rank him top 5 in my opinion

    -Boderline top 10 for me(wlad)
