    Who is the hardest hitting heavyweight around today? I look at the likes of Wlad and Sam Peter, but in all honesty i think there are a few quiet characters in the running for this one.. Povetkin digs those shots in and some other Euro heavys have similar power like Virchis.. Who if any others could you think of that could render the major players unconcious if they weren't on thier game..??

    I wouldn't say virchis as he couldn't do much to sprott and had to rob him to even get a points victory.

    This guy can hit, but his technique, speed and timing are bad. His not that good boxer, but question was not that

    These are all essential parts of being a good puncher nad if you have not got good speed or technique you can't really be deemed as one of the hardest hitter's unless you are knocking people out by shear force. The top guy at the moment without doubt is wlad.

    My top 5 includes David Tua, Wladimir Klitschko, Vladimir Virchis, Shannon Briggs, and Samuel Peter. Lamon Brewster is right there too.

    Although Peter hasn't knocked out a top heavyweight, it is clear he is very strong and very heavy handed. Not a great puncher, but he hits like a truck.

    Wlad is the best puncher now, Tua might still be the hardest hitter

    Wlad. His record says it all. He takes guys that no one else can KO and drops them like rag dolls.
