Who are some fighters that have/had one-punch KO power, and some that had to club their opponents to knock them out?
Guys like Foreman and Johnson clubbed their opponents. Guys like Shavers and Satterfield punched their opponents.
People like Manny have accumulative power where as people like Jackson had shut off the synapse power.
Everybody has cumulative power.
Vitali pummels the crap out of an opponent before he knocks them out.
That is true, and most 'one-punch' kos are the result of a whole bunch of other things. I can't consider a ko that happens in the 8th round to be the result of one punch. There aren't many guys that can end a fight with one punch, early, maybe the first punch, and certainly none that can do it consistently.Quote:

Because they were smart enough to set that punch up quickly and that is at least as important as the power.
Julian Jackson and Nigel Benn had vicious power but tough fighters can take them much to the detrement.
JCC Superstar was accumalative power which is probably worse for your health.
JCC had a break you down, break your spirit and will kinda power. He made you cry on the inside by the 6th round if you were lucky enough to make it there or if you had the nuts to try to tough it out.Quote:

Tyson had one punch ko power. But it wasn't his fault that HW's were built to take a brick to the face and keep on coming. The shot's he gave against Savarese/Golota/Norris, those guys were not supposed to get up at all without a stretcher, but they did.
Someone else who we don't talk about when it comes to one punch power was Lennox Lewis- but he was so methodical and never liked to mix it up that he didn't have the punch output he should have had.
Deontay Wilder DOES have one punch power- what he did to Liakovich and Price shocked the bejeesus out of me. That's one punch power. They would have been stupid to try to get up on some ol'e muscle memory mixed in with pride nonsense... but they were knocked silly, so they were prone to try silly things.
;D
The best one punch ko artist I have EVER seen is TOMMY THE HITMAN HEARNS... no one did it better. No one! Tommy put you to sleep... to-sleep. With the right hand, you not only was ko'd- but you were on death's door if medical attention didn't see to you soon enough.
This a legit one punch ko, against a fighter that, if memory serves, was never knocked down again, much less stopped. And he fought guys like James Toney. The ko comes at around 7:50 of the second video

No accumulation, just one shot out of no where.
Nothing accumulative with any of these:
Smith vs Witherspoon
Dempsey vs Fulton
Tyson vs Spinks
Liston vs Patterson-twice
Marciano vs Walcott
Louis vs Schmeling
Foreman vs Roman
Shavers vs Norton
Coetzee vs Spinks
Bruno vs Coetzee
Cooney vs Norton
Bowe vs Dokes
Flyn ko’d Dempsey in one round and then a year later Dempsey returned the favour.
