    It's between Wlad and Lennox, and if one is to believe the man who trained them both, Wlad has better one punch KO power.

    So I vote Wlad without hesitation.

    I agree its between the two.

    I edge for Lewis.
    Wlad has the better straight right, but Lewis throws uppercuts better.
    The 1-2 is evens.

    Lewis, many of the men that went the distance with Wlad would have been sparked out by Lewis.

    Well, Emanuel always said "in terms of raw one punch power" - that doesn't necessarily say anything about technique or punching variety.

    But that can be more a matter of styles than 1-punch KO power. Lewis, to me at least, was more apt to pounce on opponents than Wlad. At least it's always seemed that way to me.

    Wladimir Klitschko barely eeks past Lewis, then Holmes with Vitali bringing up the rear.

    Vitali was more of an accumulation puncher, that had good to great power...!!!

    Yeah your right, Lewis scored more KO's because he was more aggressive.

    I always got the feeling Emmanuel said that cause he was currently training Wlad and had already conceeded Lewis was the Greatest HW he'd ever trained. He wanted to give Wlad something

    No but there was a poster here named Mag who sparred with them both. He said he thought that if they ever fought, Lewis would win, but he said the only one to ever KO him was Wlad, but that Lewis and Foreman's punches would hurt for days afterwards, or something to that affect. Anyway, I picked Lewis because I think between the upper cut and the right, he dropped 250+ lb guys, but it's admittedly a close call.

    That is very cool.

    Still, you understand my point. Someone as lucky as you still only managed to get punched by 1 of the 4 in question.
