You cannot properly evaluate power from watching on tape. The most reliable source are mid level sparring partners who have been in several camps. These fighters usually say Wilder, Wlad and Joshua can bang. Nearly everyone who has been in with Wilder says he has scary power in both hands.

Elite power - Wlad, Joshua, Haye (maybe not now he's lost speed), wilder, Price

Strong power - Ortiz, Povetkin, mansour, pulev, Browne, Parker

Domestic/fringe power - Whyte, Chisora, Fury (possibly can punch harder but his fighting style is not to load up), breazeale

Weak power - Scott, Allen

Some will punch harder than others in categories but it really is foolish to make a top ten and believe your rankings are accurate

AJ is up there. Helenius hits really hard, but he's a bit too slow. If he were faster he'd be the hardest puncher today.

Ortiz isn't even sniffing 10/10 power. Povetkin's new found old man strength hits harder than Ortiz.

Depends entirely on your definition of "10/10 punching power", doesn't it.
Are there multiple definitions?

Any list with Ortiz ahead of Wilder is garbage.

Of course there are.
I can think of two: all time or current. Considering he said current, I'd say that's pretty black and white. Either way, my post wouldn't change much.

We've been through all this already, but he definition of 10/10 simply depends on where you draw the line where someone goes from 9/10 to 10/10. It could be 10% of all boxers, it could be 1% of heavyweight boxers. if it's the former then Ortiz easily qualifies. If its the latter, he doesn't. "10/10" is an arbitrary evaluation.

Luis Ortiz power pales in comparison to Wlad and Wilder. Is that better?

Yes, much better. I can't argue with that.

I have not put Helenius in the opening post, he deserves to be on the list, but I am not sure about his status (active or not).
For me, Povetkin is a borderline case (9/10), Browne and Miller too, I have mentioned recently Briggs and Ustinov. Breazeale is questionable, honestly, I do not know a lot about him, but he could be something like Povetkin....
I can not agree about Parker, for me he is nothing more than a decent puncher (8/10), Martin and Whyte, too.....
I have forgotten some fighters, surely.....

10/10 - Klitschko, AJ and Wilder. But, Deontay swings and the others throw darts.

Parker is the only unknown quantity. Looked deverstating against lesser opponents but hasn't shown much since stepping up.

I like my list, Parker is the one I'd move down. Briggs hit a lot harder years ago and Ustinov is just heavy handed from sheer size; similar to Miller.

Honestly, it is very difficult disagree with your list....But, there are several haters on this forum, and they will be contra........
