Who is the hardest hitting heavyweight today?

Has to be either AJ, Ortiz or maybe Wilder. My guess is it's Ortiz.

 

The blood pressure tablets gave him power lol

 

Wlad was the hardest puncher but has lost some snap from being older.

 

Wilder
Joshua
Haye

 

Probably Joshua or Ortiz. In the past I would have said Wlad but he's seemed to have lost some snap in his punches.

 

Pulling the trigger*

His power is still there as evidenced by the Pulev fight.

 

you can lose it in a few months let alone a few years.

 

There's no evidence that he's lost power. There is however a ton of evidence that he can't pull the trigger like he used to.

 

yeh true but not able to pull the trigger is like having dartitis. id rather lose power than be unable to throw a good punch or a punch at all...

 

The Pulev fight was nearly 2 years ago, the last two fights have shown his punching power has declined. He just paws with the jab instead of using it as a battering ram and his punches clearly aren't as fast or powerful as they used to be.

 

He could hardly manage to hurt Jennings, Ortiz had him going every time he touched him.

 

Look at the way Wlad savagely dropped byrd with a 1 2 in the 5th round of their rematch. He can't generate explosive punching power like that anymore.

 

id hate to be a boxer past prime unable to throw punches you knew you could reel off in split seconds before.

 

Haye or Joshua I would guess

 

When he started to find Jennings late he hurt him, same with Fury. Problems pulling the trigger NOT decline in power. Power's the last to go man.

Are you saying he's physically unable to throw a stiff jab? He just doesn't have the confidence to do it like he used to. The jab had been in decline for a while now actually.... Not just the last couple of fights. Pulev stood right in front of him and ate FLUSH hooks.
