    One thing I’ve said about Yarde is it’s clear he’s got power, everything else is an utter guess. Buatsi showed he’s no mug either, stopping Averlant and Quinlan in one. Buatsi’s is a combination of shot selection, power and pure finesse.

    In comparison to the other two it’s hard to distinguish as they’ve been fighting at world level and KOing guys.

    Hard to determine at the moment. They both seem to be legit hardhitters, but style and opponent level make it unclear.

    It's said that Gvozdyk has monsterous power once he sits down on his punches, as sparringparners and teammates have mentioned, but it's not his style to destroy his opponent from round 1 on.
    Bivol isn't a hardhitter, but seems to have good power and again his style is to outbox opponents instead of mauling them down.

    Biggest hitters in the division at first glance, and actually fought at a high level
