    I was thinking about this the other day and couldn't come to a conclusive answer. I originally thought Alexander had the most power (that devastating KO of Urango sold me), but of his 21 fights, only 13 have been knock outs. Timmy Bradley has only 11 knock outs in 26 fights which again suggests he doesn't have too much power.

    That lead me to believe that Khan hits the hardest out of the top 3 LWWs. He has more KO's than the other two (17 from 24 including stopping the durable Paulie M) and also had Maidana down badly in the first. But a lot of his KOs came pretty early on and at a lower level.

    So, which of the top 3 LWWs hits harder?

    Khan I guess.

    Stopped Malignaggi, stopped that Jewish guy whose name escapes me in one round, and downed and badly hurt Maidana.

    It Is actually devon.
    I like bradley and khan more but i gotta give devon props on this.
    *Bradley admitted that he is more powerful in the face off
    *Khan's knockouts have all come from tko mainly because the ref has to step in because of his flurries and speed that he is landing those continuous punches at.
    *Devon has shown signs of having knockout power with a single punch, and showed it many of his fights including Jesus Rodriguez and we all saw what happened with Urango

    I'd say Alexander, like you said that Urango KO was vicious! Khan seems to be ahead of Bradley after that IMO

    I agree, Devon has good power. But those saying he 'hands down' has the most power are a little off the mark. If it was that clear cut, he would surely have more KOs than 13?

    Alexander is the biggest one-punch hitter if you ask me. Tim's pretty sneaky and can be explosive with his right hand, his power is a little underrated if you ask me. Khan may have the highest KO percentage, but most, if not all, of his inside the distance wins have come from the accumulation of his quick punches or unexpectadly quick flurries early on. Alexander though, the Urango fight aside, hasnt got much going for him in that sense either.

    It depends what you're criteria is I suppose. To be honest, none of them really hit that hard. Alexander is the biggest one-punch hitter, Khan is the most accumulative and Bradley is the most underrated.

    Alexander
    Khan
    Bradley

    That order

    Alexander brutally ko'ing Urango speaks volumes. I think Urango's iron chin was chipped by Bailey, but would still have been solid facing Alexander. That achievement is hands down the deciding factor.

    Khan, when he sits on his shots, has very good power, but most of the time his feet aren't planted and he arm punches in mcflurries or jumps in. But Malignaggi is tough as hell and he brutalised the guy, he also annihilated Salita and came within a few seconds of ko'ing Maidana in the first round.

    Bradley, like Khan, can show power, such as dropping Witter, but he throws everything but the kitchen sink at his opponents and doesn't get them out of there. Again, like Khan, I think with better technique he would show more pop.
