Whyte is too high. I'd say, Povetkin's power is bigger, than his.

Ajagba is definitely powerful.

But we really need to see him in against a better grain of fighter before ranking him so highly.

Agreed. He may be high on the list, but we can't be certain yet given his opponents so far.

As Teddy Atlas used to say (at least before he was booted from ringside) "Is it real power or is it just the guys he's been in with?"

probably wilder but i think its really exaggerated the difference between him and aj

ppl in comparisons say aj stops guys standing after beatdowns but then forget about fights like wilder-stiverne 1 and wilder-duhaupas and wilder-arreola. and aj has laid guys out hard too and stopped both common opponents faster

both have elite power

I think Wilder's power seems above AJ's because that's the only way he really wins his fights. AJ is much more complete and has more weapons.

Heck yes!!
Povitkin hits harder than most of the bottom half of the list IMO.
Check the slomo of him rearranging old Pricie's face towards the end of this short clip :o
