Easily Vitali...

Really? I think Wlad has better one punch power than Vitali who seems to rely on accumulation from what I've seen.

I haven't seen a lot of Vitali's earlier fights, pretty much just the Lewis one. Since his return he's struck me as an accumulation sort of puncher though.

i voted for PACMAN.

Abraham pretty clearly IMO. Dude doesn't even land that many punches cause he doesn't throw all that much but still blasts guys out with one punch.

It could be shot old Randall Bailey actually.

Im not sure Bailey has iced that many at world championship level.

[OumaFan]

cause he's not very good I mean a guy like Vitali has such a size and reach advantage on most of these plodders that he can just harpoon them with twenty rights a round or so, the KO's gonna come. Bailey's old, shot, shit legs, no balance, mediocre speed and just solid enough technique but if he catches anybody at 135-140 with a right they don't see he can hurt them. Still.

I'm kidding with him at number 1. Kind of.

[killersheep]

I still vote Valero until he proves me wrong.

Bailey does have legit 1 shot power which is more then a lot of those guys can say. Vitali and Wlad should be excluded imo, it's P4P and pound for pound no way we can judge that. A lot of those KOs are produced by their size advantage, it's easier to eliminate them from the p4p power discussion.

I'm a big fan of Lopez, but I'm not sure he has fight changing power in 1 shot. Those 1st round KO's were just product of speed and accuracy more then anything. I mean he does have a punishing style at times and definitely wears you down and can put guys down at that weight but not like others.

Almost every single Colombian seems to have ridiculous power 1 shot power from Juan Urango, Jose Luis Herrera, Dinisio Miranda, Breidis Prescott, ect. there are others but each of those guys has explosive power even if they aren't great fighters. Valero is a whirlwind but he does pack a pretty big punch. Abraham definitely, tons of power. Carl Froch is crap but he is heavy handed. Darchinyan same deal. All those guys just seem to have brute clubbing power.

My pick (it's the wrong one almost assuredly) is Yuriorkis Gamboa. Gamboa is an absolute train wreck in the ring and he is going to have a sick highlight reel when he's done. He's explosive and I think he's the guy with the most power.

Abraham pretty clearly IMO. Dude doesn't even land that many punches cause he doesn't throw all that much but still blasts guys out with one punch.

Yeah thats the reason I voted for Arthur. His opponent can be right in the fight but 1 shot will not only knock them cold but it will put them in hospital with concussion.

Ive had a look at some of his other KOS on youtube and its not uncommon for him to win by KO by totally putting an opponents lights out face first on the canvas unconcious. Not many fighters in any weight class can do that.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I think were overrating Abraham just a little based on his dramatic last round knockout... Its not like it was the 1st time he hit Taylor, plus it was the 12th round.

Valero is obviously the biggest p4p puncher in one hand, that big left but i thought i'd go for Lopez, he has sickening K.O power in both hands and yes it brought with sharp speedy punches but the question was hardest puncher not most heavy handed

I'd say they were two different questions.
