1.Joshua
2.Wilder
3.Povetkin
4.Ortiz
5.Miller
Seems like there are quite few hard punchers for a HW division right now

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
Maybe but Whyte couldn't stop the likes of Allen and Helenius, struggled with Lewison - i think that Miller stops them all, i think also that Miller has a good chance at knocking out Chisora. He's maybe not the one punch KO artist but his punches are stronger than some think. When he goes forward he is capable of knocking out most of fighters. Maybe im wrong though. I just think that some people overestimate Whyte's power because he have dropped Parker.ValMar wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 10:52Yes, Wlad and Haye are retired....dagilechia wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 10:31 1.Joshua

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
If I made the top 10 list, Miller and Gassiev would share 6/7 position, and I don't think I overestimate Whyte (his power), he deserves to be on this list.dagilechia wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 11:02Maybe but Whyte couldn't stop the likes of Allen and Helenius, struggled with Lewison - i think that Miller stops them all, i think also that Miller has a good chance at knocking out Chisora.

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
The first four is obvious, it's Wilder, Joshua, Povetkin, Ortiz. Except them, there's no especially hard-hitting guys at the today's HW scene. There are some fighters with good punch, but those don't seem special, just regular good HW power. So it's possible to place Gassiev or Briedis, or Kudryashov at #5. They also can turn the lights out for anyone. Briedis even KTFO Charr at the HWs.

Also Dorticos is a good puncher, i think that Yunier would be better at HW than at CW.DrDuke wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 11:35 The first four is obvious, it's Wilder, Joshua, Povetkin, Ortiz.

I did not put Price on the my list, because I think he must retire, right now.
Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
Browne, Price and Helenius all can bang. The problem for those is to find the target and actually hit with something.

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
Izu Ugonoh's power have top 5 potential but he needs to finally fight decent opposition
Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
P4P or overall? I like p4p in terms of punching power; although, I think Kudryashov will still be a monstrous puncher at HW. Briedis and Gassiev can also be monster punchers at HW. Briedis practically put Charr in a coma.
P4P off the top of my head:
1. Kudryashov
2. Beterbiev
3. Lemieux
4. Gassiev
5. Briedis
6. Kavaliauskas
Other than Kudryashov who is epic-tier in terms of power, I think the rest are all about even. These are the biggest punchers in boxing.

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
I don't think so. Breazeale was walking through him. Not something that would happen if he had huge power.dagilechia wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 13:37 Izu Ugonoh's power have top 5 potential but he needs to finally fight decent opposition
Someone that I think that's on a bit of a bust that does have power is Khytrov.

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
Maybe but i doubt that Whyte would even drop Breazeale. It is hard to say how Ugonoh can really bang because Breazeale is the only serious hes ever faced. Hard to say if Izu got top 5 power, maybe yes, but personally i also lean towards no. I fear that Izu will actually never step up and if he does he will lose.Mexi-Box wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 13:50I don't think so. Breazeale was walking through him.

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
Also note: whoever is in your top 5 most powerful punchers, their power can only be considered an 8/10 at best. 9/10 and 10/10 are reserved for levels of power that no boxer can actually attain.

These cruisers can hit, but they don't hit as hard as David Price or Efe Ajagba.DrDuke wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 11:35 The first four is obvious, it's Wilder, Joshua, Povetkin, Ortiz.

Re: The top five most powerful punchers, October 2018 ?
Inoue is the hardest P4P puncher today IMO. Kudryashov's power didn't look as frightening against Durodola as it has looked against lesser opponents. But he is huge puncher, no doubts. It's just that his power isn't prowen against top-lelev opponents like Inoue's is.Mexi-Box wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 13:45 P4P or overall?
