Biggest Puncher in Pro Boxing Today?

[jewboypgh]

I think I'm going with that Betterbiev. Man that kid can really punch.
After that you gotta go with GGG.

Dorticos is a good shout

[Mexi-Box]

Kudryashov

Dorticos is a good shout

Hard puncher, but he isn't in the same caliber as Lemieux, Kudryashov, and Beterbiev. Those dudes have ridiculous punching power.

Wilder

Yeah completely agree mate very good shouts.. got to say an upcoming Anthony Yarde seems as though he's holding a lot of punching power for what I've seen so far

[Mexi-Box]

Wilder

I think he's similar in power to Joshua. Neither of them come close to Klitschko, though. Dude dropped Povetkin with a flick of the wrist.

[Kalan]

Klitschko didn't stop Povetkin... Joshua dropped Wladimir 3 X and stopped him.... He's the only Heavyweight Champion in history who has 5 or more Heavyweight Championship Fights... who has won all his fights by KO.

AJ will blow Wilder away.

I wouldn't put GGG in the mix as a big puncher,he usually wears them down before stopping them.Wilder is a big,one shot puncher.

He's also a windmiller... He goes apeshitt... Joshua has more concentrated power and gets more on each shot.... And GGG is "in the mix... He's a really great puncher.

True,his technique is awful but he can ko with 1 punch.

i think that could be true. not early on,
but once wilder is hit, the lack of quality
opposition in his record will bite him. he
will lack confidence when he heeds it
most.

having said that, the verdict is still out
whether deontay is for real. we just don't
know. but stepping up from his current
level of opponents to AJ is delusional.

My first thoughts when I think "biggest punchers" (P4P, anyway) are Wilder, Kudryashov and Beterbiev. Kovalev is still maybe in the mix ahead of GGG, Canelo, Spence and Joshua.

Behind that are the likes of Gassiev, Inoue, Higa, Lemieux, M Garcia, Dorticos etc etc.

That's my view of it right now anyway, things can change on a fight-by-fight basis when it comes to evaluating punch power.

Who said he did? Wlad doesn't have the best chin. Joshua couldn't put a dent in Takam who Povetkin KO'd clean.

Higa is a funny one, I've seen pretty much all of his fights, and he doesn't ever strike me as a 1 punch up guy, but someone who hits naturally very hard with everything he lands. A cumulative power. Can't think of anyone he's 1-shotted. A lot like Kyoguchi and Roman Gonzalez.

Agreed. Lemieux hits harder.

I think it's between Kudryashov, Lemieux, and Beterbiev as the hardest puncher in boxing.

To be fair, Klitschko isn't in boxing today. He's retired.

I was using Klitschko as an example of insane power. I don't think Joshua and Wilder's power are at that level where they could be considered, p4p, the biggest puncher in boxing.

Took Wilder a lot to stop Duhaupus, who Povetkin absolutely demolished, and Joshua didn't stop Takam clean like Povetkin did.

[BillW]

By biggest puncher I take it you mean one punch knockout power.
So if we look at the KO records (as opposed to tko) of the three heavyweight belt holders we find.

Anthony Joshua 4 KOs
Joseph Parker 5 KOs
Deontay Wiider 18 KOs.

Deontay by a mile.

[jamamb]

ko vs tkos often just a technicality that varies by area and doesnt always reflect one being harder than the other. also if your going to just count like that you have to factor opposition and total fights. wilder fought more weak opponents early on than aj has total fights . joshua would probably ktfo jess oltmans and damon mcreary too but he never went that low.

but still id go wilder

Povetkin iced Takam with a late round KO... AJ didn't get his clean late round KO because the referee stopped it prematurely... Pov hit Takam with a lot of punches that didn't knock him out first... It took him a long time to set him up... Also, he hasn't been knocking people out lately has he??? .... AJ gets everybody out.

Who cares about Takam? Average small fighter. Compare their perfomance against Klitschko. It was Povetkin who was dancing from jabs, It was Povetkin who barely landed something lol Joshua would crush Povetkin into Mars,

And Dohoupas with no boxing shoes and 2 days notice ... Huh

[Enlightened-One]

Adonis Stevenson
Dmitry Kudryashov
Murat Gassiev
Deontay Wilder
Anthony Joshua
Naoya Inoue
Genady Golovkin
Mikey Garcia
Gervonta Davis
Krusher Kovalev

[Lackeos]

Stevenson and the Charlos are pretty good bombers.

Wilder's windmilling is exagerated. He will "windmill" after his opponent is hurt to finish them, but not his normal style.
As far as the most force in one punch, Wilder is the biggest puncher, imo.
