    Who are the 5, p4p, hardest hitting British punchers of the last 30 years?

    In order.

    Punchers as in, one punch or a few punch combos.

    Lets hear your views...

    Yeah, roughly. Haye/Bruno is a bit of a toss up, if Haye looks to have one punch power at heavy too I'd conclusively rule in his favour.

    I just picked this question out of thin air without really thinking about who I would put in; that list looks kind of like a definitive one though. I'm not sure who else you could put in there without crowbaring them in.... will have to have a think...

    That's pretty much it, I think Haye probably hits harder than all the rest but needs a few more names on his record to affirm that. Lewis was the best puncher technically though.

    I know what you mean. Lennox's power was immense, but kind of controlled and contained at the same time; and at no devaluation to that power.

    Very good list, how about Herbie Hide? Probably misses out, but he's worth a thought.

    What about Wayne Alexander? OK, he wasnt the best fighter, but he had awesome power, that carried to world level. Average fighter, awesome power. I think hes worth a shout.

    I think pound for pound British punchers - Colin Jones has got to be high on the list

    Herbie Hide should be top of the list.

    I think Hamed was a big puncher but not the biggest

    Wayne Alexander was more destructive than Hamed

    Hamed (T)KO'ed several tough chinned World Class opponents (Steve Robinson, Manuel Medina, Wilfredo Vasquez, Paul Ingle, Vuyani Bungu.............the list goes on and on). Who did Wayne Alexander KO? Takaloo. Please.

    Alexander was destructive and possibly hit harder than Hamed P4P. Possibly. But Hamed was more destructive as he landed and consistently (T)KOed top flight opposition.
