UK's Biggest Power Puncher P4P

Post by danamba7 »

Plenty of talent in the UK but no destructive power punchers on the world level that I can think of at the moment. Froch, Groves, Brook, Frampton all have power but I'd have to go with David Haye (if he came back fit) or David Price, although Price has never shown it at world level. Any other suggestions?

Price (actual and p4p) for me. Doesn't have someone like Haye's speed or accuracy but for raw concussive power I don't think anyone gets near him.

David price must be just about the heaviest puncher in the heavyweight division so he is an obvious choice.

Adam Booth said he hits the hardest out of anyone he has taken on the pads. That's enough for me to give him my vote

to be fair how many boxers out of the whole of the UK has he had on the pads? This is a question about p4p

Definitely Price for me. Haye second, then a big gap to the rest.

I'd love for a massive, Prince Naseem-esque, puncher to come along in the UK at the lower weights. Always find it more impressive when the smaller fighters are taking everyone out. Gamal Yafai maybe???

If we're talking p4p I'd still take Haye over Price. Price has got 40lbs on Haye; Haye could probably still make crusierweight. At crusierweight, Haye was putting everyone away. Well almost everybody (The Cat ;;-) )

I'd have to pick Groves, he could really punch a few fights ago.

There's no one in the lighter weights like Richie Evatt or Paul Ryan - I do like to see heavy hitters.

Yh Gamal yafai the few times ive seen him looks like he hits hard

Callum Smith and McKenzie worth a shout?

I'll throw Chad Gaynor in the mix as well just for the way he knocked out Adil Anwar earlier in the year.

Good thread I'll come back to this when I think few more

Price to me seems like a bigger one punch knock out artist than Joshua. Joshua just clubs people to oblivion whereas Price would actually flatten guys.
