    he hits hard no doubt, however, I think his lack of hand-speed keeps him from hitting as hard as the very top guys.

    My pick for heaviest handed fighter has to go to either Ortiz or Joshua. Joshua's the more dangerous overall due to his better speed and snap which results in some devastating effects on his opponents. Ortiz is a bit more plodding but his shots carry serious weight, and I hope the Scott fight won't make people forget that (Foreman went the distance with lots of mediocre guys like Savarese). Stiverne, Browne and Wlad all deserve shout outs too (Wlad would rate higher a few years back, but he's slowed badly since then).

    My pick for most explosive fighter is Parker followed by Wilder. Parker might not have as much brute power as some in the division but his explosiveness is insane and unlike Wilder he's able to deliver crisp devastating shots without winding up. Wilder has probably the hardest right hand in the division however, when he gets full extension on it.

    Povetkin's power I'd rate more as a product of his style and accuracy in combination. He's a very dangerous puncher but I'd put a couple of guys ahead of him in the pure power stakes.

    there's a reason top tennis players use it, it can also be used to mask other substances which povetkin was most likely on, everyone knows it, there's never been a more suspicious increase in power in boxing than povetkin, he started koing everyone

    There were moments where i thought Brazzeale's head was about to fly off his shoulders against Joshua. :eeek::eeek:

    I haven't seen a HW take a beating that brutally in a long time.

    Who else did Pulev ever fight?

    Chambers lasted 12 rounds. He was absolutely knackered from having Clinchko back hump him to death all night , otherwise he would have seen the final bell easily . . Why was Wlad all over his back anyway?

    Look at the state of him ^ :sleep:

    Sorry to break it to you, but that is an opinion NOT a fact. Meldonium can NOT be used to mask other substances you clown. Stop making **** up.

    Yeah you're right, it increases oxygen movement to muscles meaning meldonium could have a positive effect on stamina and endurance. It is also thought to aid recovery, so after a strenuous training session, the athlete is able to train as hard again with short rest intervals. In tennis especially, when they play a number of games in a short period of time, it is especially useful. It's main usage is certainly not as a masking agent. And it wasn't on the WADA banned list until Jan 1st, 2016.

    BAHAHA, I guess you haven't done your research check the official wada site, and see for yourself, meldonium is prohibited as a ped and also because it can change your testosterone level or lower it it's a hormone modulator

    The substance Meldonium was not invented as a masking agent you clown, you YOURSELF are coming up with this conclusion you pathological liar. It was meant to increase endurance, it does NOT increase power, get a clue or go jump off a bridge you pretentious twink.
    There is nothing on the WADA website that specifies Meldonium as a masking agent or as an anabolic steroid like substance, it is a PED but for endurance purposes, not power. Get a ****ing clue.
